Many people over 60 years of age in the UK are spending their later years taking up new hobbies and activities， according to research from Age UIC 71 percent of those over 60 years old are meeting new challenges like learning a foreign language， taking lo the dance floor， or even taking part in outdoor activities like bungee jumping and mountain climbing．
The new survey looks at attitudes towards later life in people aged 18 and above and has been conducted to mark the start of a new TV advertising campaign． With the positive attitudes of many of those aged 60 and above who describe their lifestyle as interesting （38 percent）， varied（42 percent）， fun（20 percent） and satisfying（24 percent）， it shows the nation that growing older does not mean that interests and hobbies should stop．
It features people doing what they enjoy， celebrating later life and all that it can offer． This is in sharp contrast to some younger people's ideas of old age as boring and slower-paced． Among those featured arc a Tai Chi group， dancers， a 91-ycar-old bodybuilder， and an 81-year-old singing leading lady． Many of them are people who have been directly helped by Age UK． The advertisement aims to show the different services and products that Age UK offers and how it can help people to make the most of later life．
Michelle Mitchell， Charily Director at Age UK said， "Through our research and the exciting new TV advertisement， we hope to show another side of growing older and encourage people of all ages to take up some hobbies． One in five says that they have felt more comfortable in their own skin since they reached 60 years of age， and this confidence helps to give people the drive to try the activities they have always wanted to try．"

Dear Jenny,
Welcome to my school! When you arrive, there will be a party for you organizing by my classmates. You may attend to English classes to feel a differently learning style. After that, you can go to your host family that you can experience the Chinese way of life. You can have meals together chatting anything that interests us.
The host family will also show you around some famous scenic spot. You can see people selling kites everywhere because our city was home to kites. There are many kinds of kites to choose from. So isn’t it the good idea to buy some for your friends? Write to me unless you have any questions about the schedule.
Best wishes.
