Polished transcript:

Male Female

To be honest, I don't have much contact with many old people, and I have not encountered any old person who has an interesting and admirable life. So, how about the person who has the most boring life in the world? I think that is my grandfather because he lives right next to my house and my family. I almost know everything about his life. Specifically, he spends the majority of his days at home, sometimes sitting in front of the screen to follow the news, and he hardly has any conversations with other people. I think he can easily fall into a life full of happiness and depression because I am quite busy with tons of homework on a regular basis, and also due to the generation gap, all of this pushes me away from him. So, I cannot spend much time beside my grandfather. Generally, I will definitely never forget him.
