Exercise 6. Put 10 questions in the present simple tense from the text.
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN REPRESENTATIVES OF
DIFFERENT GENERATIONS
One of the important problems of all times is a generation gap. Adult's
mentality is different from teenager's. We are the children of twoepochs
with different views on various subjects. Because of this parents and
children sometimes argue with each other.
Some people believe that teenagers today are generally rude, lazy and
ill-behaved. Other people, however, think that teenagers are not so bad.
Sometimes people don't understand teenagers. They don't understand some
problems and things which are very important in teenagers' life, for
example the lifestyles, piercing, tattoos, relationship with friends and
teachers.
Some people don't want to understand modern views, ideals and our
system of values. They say that teenagers are cruel, brutal, heartless and
rude. Yes, today new generation "plays" with smoking, drugs and alcohol,
but this doesn't mean that all teens are really bad!
On the other hand, today many elderly people look at the world with
new eyes. Moreover, they try to understand teenagers' problems and solve
them.
Most of the quarrels between parents and children happen
becauseof children's marks at school and generation gap. We try to learn
better, but if we have a bad mark our parents can shout at us.
In most cases "new generation" doesn't understand their parents and
becomes depressed because of this. To protest against it, teens can shock
people around them. That's why it is considered that teens today are lazy
and ill-behaved. Elderly people usually compare their childhood and youth
with present, they are always talking about "the good old days". People are
said to become wiser with age. Sometimes it is true and sometimes it is not.
I think that you can meet a wise man among the old as often as among the
young. It is wrong that when wisdom always comes in old age. Sometimes
when we talk to adults, they listen only to their own point of view. That's
why some teens don't like to talk to adults. To sum it up, nowadays
everyone has a different view on teen's life. But, in fact, we should simply
learn to understand each other.
