This is a common problem in North American areas where a lot of snow falls. Of course, people must shovel the snow, but what can they do if it's dangerous to do so?

In your home city or country, are there any activities that are very important to do, but that some elderly people shouldn't do because it's not safe for them?

Do neighbours help each other in your home city?

See you in class!
