教老年人使用智能手机的诊所

Most young people are always on their phones, which may upset many people. However, a group called Girl Scouts (女童子军) is receiving praise for setting up its first walkin clinic for elderly people, who have difficulty understanding how to unlock the secrets of their smart phones. Some do not know how to text others while some are still ambitious about the network industry.

The clinic served as a special place for the aged in an orderly fashion.Each teen spent at least an hour of one-on-one time with the old people.Based on their technological knowledge,each girl scout was assigned to teach different aspects of smart phones.

Some of the aged actually wanted to take part in e-commerce and needed help to set up a payment account on their smart phones,while others simply had trouble when learning how to send messages to their family members.“I was teaching this older woman how to text,and the first thing she did was send a message to her daughter,”one of the scouts said.“How sweet it was!It just made me feel really,really happy.”The older woman was very excited and thanked her again and again.

In addition to arranging group lessons for all of the seniors to review together at the end of the clinic, the youngsters even printed out brochures and guides for the seniors to take home in case confused seniors would encounter problems with their smart phones in the future. The brochures and guides were well-designed and well-written, which can be read with ease.The seniors found them quite convenient and helpful.

The girls earned their“Silver Award”for their job. After experiencing the success of their project,the girls hoped to organize more clinics in the near future.Besides,they would advocate that more young people join them and work as volunteers for more oldsters who are in need.“Those girls were just great,”said Nancy, a great-grandmother who once visited the clinic.“They were ready for us and had a very mature attitude to answering our questions,and they deserved the praise.”
