　　Nowadays, there is often a lack of understanding between parents and children. Children always complain that their parents are out of date, while parents can't approve of what their children say and do. Thus, a big generation gap is formed.

　　I remember that when I was in my teens, I used to refuse to obey many of the "do's" and "don'ts" my parents dictated to me. For example, when I kept on playing jazz records on the stereo, my father would condemn such music as sheer noise and replaced them with disks of classical music that I always considered extremely dull. When I insisted that I sleep with my pet dog, they immediately said "No way", because they thought I would be bitten by fleas. These were just a few examples of the things I thought my parents were unreasonable about.
