Old people are always saying that the young are not what they were. The same comment is made from generation to generation and it is always true. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy more freedom. They grow up more quickly and are not so dependent on their parents. They think more for themselves and do not blindly accept the ideals of their elders. Events which the older generation remembers vividly are nothing more than past history. This is as it should be. Every new generation is different from the one that preceded it. Today the difference is very marked indeed.

The generation gap, which refers to a broad difference between one generation and another, especially between young people and their parents, usually leads to numerous conflicts. Such family conflicts can seriously threaten the relationship between parents and children at times.
It goes without saying that, however old their children are, parents still regard them as small kids and keep in mind that their offspring are too young to protect themselves cautiously or have wise choices. Therefore, they tend to make a great attempt to help their children to discover the outside world. Nevertheless, they forget that as children grow up, they want to be more independent and develop their own identity by creating their own opinions, thoughts, styles and values about life.
One common issue that drives conflicts is the clothes of teenagers. While teens are keen on wearing fashionable clothes which try to catch up with the youth trends, parents who value traditional clothes believe that those kinds of attire violate the rules and the norms of the society. It becomes worse when the expensive brand name clothes teens choose seem to be beyond the financial capacity of parents.
Another reason contributing to conflicts is the interest in choosing a career path or education between parents and teenagers. Young people are told that they have the world at their feet and that dazzling future opportunities are just waiting for them to seize. However, their parents try to impose their choices of university or career on them regardless of their children's preference.
Indeed, conflicts between parents and children are the everlasting family phenomena. It seems that the best way to solve the matter is open communication to create mutual trust and understanding.
Task 1. Decide whether the following statements are True, False or Not Given.
1. According to the passage, the relationship between parents and children is not easily destroyed by the family conflicts. FALSE (2 câu đoạn 1)
2. As children get older, parents let them live on their own way and do what they are interested in. FALSE (câu đầu đoạn 2)
3. Teenagers try to please their parents by wearing traditional clothes. NOTE GIVEN
4. Parents want children to follow their wishes in deciding the education and future jobs. TRUE (câu cuối đoạn 4)
5. Some parents indulge their children with expensive brand name clothes. NOT GIVEN
6. In order to bridge the gap between the old generation and the younger one,
open communication to promote mutual understanding is the vital key.
Khoảng cách thế hệ, đề cập đến sự khác biệt lớn giữa thế hệ này với thế hệ khác, đặc biệt là giữa những người trẻ tuổi và cha mẹ của họ, thường dẫn đến nhiều xung đột. Những xung đột gia đình như vậy đôi khi có thể đe dọa nghiêm trọng đến mối quan hệ giữa cha mẹ và con cái.
Chẳng cần phải nói, dù con cái có già đi chăng nữa, cha mẹ vẫn coi chúng như những đứa trẻ nhỏ và nhớ rằng con của chúng còn quá nhỏ để bảo vệ bản thân một cách thận trọng hoặc có những lựa chọn sáng suốt. Vì vậy, họ có xu hướng nỗ lực rất nhiều để giúp con khám phá thế giới bên ngoài. Tuy nhiên, họ quên rằng khi lớn lên, trẻ em muốn độc lập hơn và phát triển bản sắc riêng của mình bằng cách tạo ra ý kiến, suy nghĩ, phong cách và giá trị của riêng mình về cuộc sống.
Một vấn đề phổ biến dẫn đến xung đột là quần áo của thanh thiếu niên. Trong khi thanh thiếu niên thích mặc quần áo thời trang để bắt kịp xu hướng của giới trẻ, thì các bậc cha mẹ coi trọng trang phục truyền thống lại tin rằng những loại trang phục đó vi phạm các quy tắc và chuẩn mực của xã hội. Điều đó càng trở nên tồi tệ hơn khi những bộ quần áo hàng hiệu đắt tiền mà teen lựa chọn dường như nằm ngoài khả năng tài chính của các bậc phụ huynh.
Một lý do khác góp phần vào xung đột là sự quan tâm trong việc lựa chọn con đường nghề nghiệp hoặc giáo dục giữa cha mẹ và thanh thiếu niên. Những người trẻ tuổi được cho biết rằng họ có cả thế giới dưới chân và những cơ hội tương lai rực rỡ chỉ chờ họ nắm bắt. Tuy nhiên, cha mẹ của họ cố gắng áp đặt sự lựa chọn của họ về trường đại học hoặc nghề nghiệp cho họ bất kể sở thích của con cái họ.
Thật vậy, xung đột giữa cha mẹ và con cái là hiện tượng gia đình muôn thuở. Có vẻ như cách tốt nhất để giải quyết vấn đề là giao tiếp cởi mở để tạo sự tin tưởng và hiểu biết lẫn nhau.
