Generation gap between parents and children Introduction:

Body:
Point 1: different in their attitude toward life ? Parents ? Children
Point 2: different in the way to look at things ? Parents ? Children Conclusion:
It's very difficult for parents and their youngstersto get along due to their distinct attitudes toward life and the way to view things. 参考作文:
The odyssey years are certainly a very complicated phase of life for young people. Not only do these young people need to overcome many difficulties, they also have to face many challenges from their parents. The differences between parents and children can be well observed in their completely different attitudes and views.
First, they differ in their attitude toward life. Parents always wonder what has gone wrong with the new generation. They feel that during their time, young boys and girls were better behaved, more obedient and had greater respect for elders. Young people, on the other hand, feel that they are capable enough to learn on their own rather than lean heavily on the older generation for guidance. Young people do not like to be spoon-fed by their parents.
The differences also appear in the way the two generations look at things. For example, the parents’ generation never understood Elvis and the Beatles. Because they couldn’t understand what was going on, they were frequently opposed to them and saw rock as “the devil’s music”. Young people, however, are crazy about the modern music and would love to listen to it for a hundred times a day. Wherever they go, they’ll have their iPod with them.
In conclusion, it’s very difficult for parents and their youngsters to get along due to their distinctive attitudes and the way they view things. To fill this gap, both parents and their grown children need to be more understanding to each other.

When I knocked on the door of her dorm room, she was indeed surprised, but not in a pleasant way. I asked Melisa how classes were going, and at the same time I tried to pull off my heavy sweater. As I was throwing it over my head, I noticed a large photo on the wall of Melisa and a tall guy laughing together.
It was decorated with paper flowers and a yellow ribbon, and on the ribbon was written “Melisa and Blake”. “What’s going on?” I asked, standing there stunned and angry. “Who's Blake?” Melisa laughed nervously and said, “What do you want to hear about, my classes or Blake?”
I felt a terrible pain in the pit of my stomach, and I wanted to rest my head on someone's shoulder and cry, but I did nothing. Angrily, I pulled on my sweater again. My knees felt weak, and I barely had control of my body. I opened the door, and wanted to slam the door shut. Instead, I managed to close the door quietly.
Anyway, I walked away understanding what was meant by a broken heart. Hope this feeling will never come to me again in the rest of my
