Hobbies for elders in different countries
In different countries, elderly (上了年纪的) people usually enjoy different hobbies to stay
happy and healthy. In China, many grandmas love dancing together in parks or public squares (公共广场). They often meet in the evening to move to the music and chat with friends. Some also play mahjong (麻将), a fun game with tiles. Elderly men in China like playing Chinese chess in groups. Light exercises, such as walking backward while clapping hands, are also popular ways to stay active (活跃的).
In the United States, elderly people have their own hobbies. Many enjoy playing card games. This helps them make friends and feel less lonely. Gardening is another favourite activity.

Spending time with old friends at parties or clubs is common too. These hobbies keep their lives interesting and full of joy.
