Brittle Bones Part 1 (Teacher: Michael)
It's quite right - old people should try to keep young. Try to keep up old interests. Even develop some hobbies. But there's one luxury they should spare themselves: falling down. Slippery floors and rugs with ragged edges may be relatively harmless for youngsters, but should always be avoided for older people.

as we get older we fall more clumsily and frequently; but also our bones get weaker.
Select
the

a
that
worsening of

the

Select
the
This
