1. Listen and read.

Ms Hoa: Good morning, class. Today, we'll talk about the generation gap. So, what is the generation gap?

Mark: Well, I think it's the difference in beliefs and behaviours between young and older people.

Ms Hoa: You're right, Mark. So, Is there a generation gap in your family?

Mark: Not really, Ms Hoa. I live in a nuclear family with my parents and brother. We understand each other quite well though we still argue over small things.

Ms Hoa: Right. We can't avoid daily arguments. What about you, Mai?

Mai: Well, I live with my extended family, and I have to learn to accept the differences between the generations.

Ms Hoa: That's a good point. Can you give us an example?

Mai: Well, my grandparents hold traditional views about male jobs and gender roles. For example, my grandfather wants my brother to be an engineer, but my brother hopes to become a musician. And my grandmother thinks women have to do all the housework.

Ms Hoa: How about your parents? Do they share your grandparents' views?

Over the past two centuries, different generations were born and given different names. Each generation comes with its characteristics, which are largely influenced by the historical, economic, and social conditions of the country they live in. However, in many countries the following three generations have common characteristics.

Generation X refers to the generation born between 1965 and 1980. When Gen Xers grew up, they experienced many social changes and developments in history. As a result, they are always ready for changes and prepared to work through changes. Gen Xers are also known as critical thinkers because they achieved higher levels of education than previous generations.

Generation Y, also known as Millennials, refers to those born between the early 1980s and late 1990s. They are curious and ready to accept changes. If there is a faster, better way of doing something, Millennials want to try it out. They also value teamwork. When working in a team, Millennials welcome different points of view and ideas from others.

Generation Z includes people born between the late 1990s and early 2010s, a time of great technological developments and changes. That is why Gen Zers are also called digital natives. They grew up online and never knew the world before digital and social media. They are very creative and able to experiment with platforms to suit their needs. Many Gen Zers are also interested in starting their own businesses and companies. They saw so many people lose their jobs, so they think it is safer to be your own boss than relying on someone else to hire you.

Soon a new generation, labelled Gen Alpha, will be on the scene. Let's wait and see if we will notice the generation gap.

Culture

The generation gap in Asian American families

(Khoảng cách thế hệ trong các gia đình châu Á châu Mĩ)

1. Read the text and complete the notes. Use no more than TWO words for each gap.

(Đọc đoạn văn và hoàn thành các ghi chú. Sử dụng không quá hai từ cho mỗi khoảng trống.)

For people in most cultures, the generation gap in their family is mainly about differences in musical tastes, career choices, and lifestyles. In Asian American families, however, the process of adapting to American culture makes the generation gap wider.

Naturally, children of Asian American immigrants adapt to American culture much faster than their parents. English quickly becomes their first language. They accept American values such as individualism, freedom, honesty, and competition. They also start to follow American traditions in their daily lives.

On the other hand, many first-generation Asian American parents fail to adapt to the new culture. They continue to use their native language. They keep practising their traditional lifestyle and old culture. They often try to force their children to follow their native country's cultural values, such as the importance of family, respect for the elders and the community.

Due to their different attitudes to the new culture, Asian American children may have cultural values different from their parents' Asian cultural values. They may not do what their parents want them to do or what they are expected to do. As a result, Asian American parents may fail to have their children follow the family traditional values.

Bridging the generation gap

As time goes by, customs and traditions, which help shape the identity of an individual, change. That is why people belonging to different generations don’t usually share the same values and beliefs. The difference in politics, culture, and other areas of life is what separates the generations and is often described as a generation gap. This can lead to frequent disagreements or even conflicts between the generations in a family. Therefore, bridging the generation gap is important. Below are some tips on how different generations in a family can connect.

First, all generations should be open to new ideas. Having more life experiences, parents often think that they know what is best for their children. However, the world is changing all the time. So, parents should keep an open mind about new ideas or things that probably didn’t even exist when they were growing up. For their part, children should also be willing to listen to their parents and try to learn important life lessons from them.

Second, it is important for parents and children to make time for each other every day. Poor communication or lack of it can harm the relationship between family members. They should make an effort to listen to each other. For example, start by asking your parents about how they spend their day at work. Finding some enjoyable activities that you can all do together is the best way to strengthen family bonds.

In conclusion, healthy family love can help bridge the generation gap. Parents and children love each other for who they are, no matter what they say, think, or do. Even if people might not approve of what other family members do or say, they are still family and always will be.

1. Bridging the generation gap is important to avoid __________ and conflicts between the generations in a family.

2. Because they have more __________, parents believe they know what their children need.

3. Children should also learn important __________ from their parents.

4. The relationship between family members can suffer because of __________ or lack of it.

5. Healthy __________ means love, care, loyalty, and respect for family members, no matter what they say, think, or do.

A. can I

B. would you mind

C. you mind

D. I’m sorry, but
