I think elderly people should live with their families because as they get older, they need someone to talk to and do things with. If elderly people live alone, they may become lonely and sick. Every elderly person wants to play with their grandchildren, and they should live with their families for happiness.

The vocabulary is basic and somewhat repetitive ('elderly,' 'families'). There's a lack of precision in word choice ('longy' instead of 'lonely'). To enhance your lexical resource, try to use a wider range of vocabulary and more precise words to express your ideas.

The grammar contains errors, such as incorrect verb forms ('they become and they need,' 'every old people won't lay her grandson'). Sentence structure is simple and lacks complexity. To improve, focus on using correct verb tenses and a variety of sentence structures.
