To begin with, let’s take a look at these questions seriously.
What does generation gap mean?
What do we understand by the words “generation gap”?
Generation gap means people, in different ages, have different opinions, as well as different attitudes and experiences, towards a thing.Because of the generation gap , the young and the old may be at odds on many issues. They may have different ideas and opinions on one thing , for example, young people like fashionable and individual things, making their hair into all kinds of colours; putting on strange clothes, while the old think and behave differently. They think that youngsters should not do this kind of things, and they can not understand their so-called fashion and individuality.
Why is there a gap between generations? Reasons are as follows. First, it is mainly because that the old and the younge grew up in different periods of the society, and they were tagged with different formed values of that time . As a result, they can't understand each other very well. For instance, many young people are complaining that their parents do not understand them. They say that their parents take care of every aspect of their lives, leaving them unable to have their private space. As for the parents, they are worrying that their children do not show any respect to them, and as a result they do not trust their children well. This is generation gap!
Besides, the generation gap is much wider now than before, which is caused by the development of new technology to some extent. The two kinds of people often don't understand each other because thay have different experiences, ideas, habits and behaviors. The young love computer games, ipod and cell phones, however, the old have a hard time understanding how to use those stuff. Most children are using the computer all the time, but their parents don’t know why they are so obsessed. This is an example of generation gap which shows that new technology is creating generation gap.
When it comes to the solutions of handling generation gaps, I think we should try to spend more time in communicating with our family members. Not only the parents, but also the kids should be equal when exchanging their views. The most important thing is that families should understand and communicate with each other, sharing their experences and ideas.
Last but not least, generation gap can be bridged as long as both parents and children are willing to make efforts. They can have an open talk and tell each other what they think of some certain problems. They should be considerate enough to realize that each generation has its own advantages and disadvantages. Their openness and consideration will probably result in a much better relationship between parents and children.
总的来说写的蛮不错的，个人观点和思想表述明确，除了个别语法和句式上的小错误。就内容上而言，个人觉得一个观点后面的展开有点没有收住，有时候抓住一点死命的说啊说啊说，有点重复。
Anyway, Bon courage.
