to look after themselves, the system works quite well. but as soon as they need any care and attention, _14_ situation becomes very difficult indeed. its likely _15_ old people may go into a nursing home, but its not as simple as that. because of _16_ (improve) in medical science, people live longer than ever before. the birth rate _17_ (fall). this means that a smaller working population is providing for a larger number of old people, in need of care and attention. the number of old peoples homes _18_ (provide) by the state is strictly limited. there are private nursing homes, but the cost is out of reach of the average family.beata: and how do you see the situation developing in the future?hunk: well, _19_ (obvious) a lot of money is going to have to be spent. but its difficult _20_ (persuade) people to do this. there arent many votes for politicians in providing nursing homes for the elderly.答案11.themselves12.smaller13.doesnt14.the15.that16.improvements17.has
