Today's report looks at ways of helping people in the US as they become more dependent in later life. What would most of them prefer to do as they grow older? What new systems are being developed to help them, and what details does the report give us of these systems? The first activity familiarizes you with some of the expressions you will hear in the report. Spend as long as you wish on the listening activity. Further activities develop your use of the vocabulary and expressions from the report.
