Question Try to fill in the missing words: My grandmother – my mother’s mother – is 93 years old, but people BLANK 1 of 25 guess that she’s no older than 70 or 75. Honestly I think one reason she looks so young is because of her positive BLANK 2 of 25; she’s just a really happy and vibrant person. I think some people, once they start getting older, they sort of BLANK 3 of 25 up on life – but not her, she really enjoys every day and loves having new experiences. My grandma lives in a senior living BLANK 4 of 25 where she has her own apartment. She brought all her own furniture so she was able to set it up to look and BLANK 5 of 25 like home, and the housekeeping cleans her place every day, so she doesn’t have to do any housework. The center offers all sorts of activities – classes, BLANK 6 of 25, movies… there’s also a library on the premises, an BLANK 7 of 25 room, a game room, and a dining BLANK 8 of 25 that serves three meals a day. It’s a really top-notch place, and she says she feels like she’s living like a BLANK 9 of 25! But the decision to move there wasn’t easy for her. After my grandfather died, she was BLANK 10 of 25 in her house which was pretty far from my parents’ – it was an hour and a half away. And my parents were BLANK 11 of 25 that if she took a spill or had an accident, she wouldn’t be able to get help. She’s in great BLANK 12 of 25, but she is getting kinda frail, as expected at her age. Also she was starting to get pretty isolated because she was BLANK 13 of 25 less and less, and many of her old friends had either BLANK 14 of 25 out of the area or else passed away. So my parents were trying to convince her to move to this facility, but she was very BLANK 15 of 25 to it. I think the reason was not so much that she was emotionally attached to her house – I mean, I’m sure that BLANK 16 of 25 a part, too – and more that she thought this senior living place would be one where the residents are neglected and have nothing to do. I could understand why she was under this BLANK 17 of 25 because this kind of facility is a relatively recent invention; places like this didn’t exist in the past, you know, where the residents are still pretty BLANK 18 of 25 but there’s care available if they need it. Eventually my grandmother came around after BLANK 19 of 25 the place, seeing it with her own eyes, and talking with some of the people who live there. The actual move took a BLANK 20 of 25 because she had lived in the same house for over 40 years, and she grew up during the Great Depression, a time when nothing was BLANK 21 of 25 and nothing was thrown away – so she had just accumulated a ton of stuff and she had to go through it all and choose what she wanted to BLANK 22 of 25, what to sell, what to donate, and what to just get rid of. Once she moved in to this senior apartment, though, she BLANK 23 of 25 it, and three years later she’s still raving about it. Now, the place is pricey. My grandparents weren’t especially well-off, but they did BLANK 24 of 25 their money well and they were able to save up enough to take care of BLANK 25 of 25 in their golden years.
