VI. Reading
Exercise1 : Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each
question.
Family conflict
The generation gap, which refers to a broad difference between one generation and another,
especially between young people and their parents, usually leads to numerous conflicts. Such family
conflicts can seriously threaten the relationship between parents and children at times. It goes without
saying that, however old their children are, parents still regard them as small kids and keep in mind
that their offspring are too young to protect themselves cautiously or have wise choices. Therefore,
they tend to make a great attempt to help their children to discover the outside world. Nevertheless,
they forget that as children grow up, they want to be more independent and develop their own identity
by creating their own opinions, thoughts, styles and values about life.
One common issue that drives conflicts is the clothes of teenagers. While teens are keen on wearing
fashionable clothes which try to catch up with the youth trends, parents who value traditional clothes


believe that those kinds of attire violate the rules and the norms of the society. It becomes worse when
the expensive brand name clothes teens choose seem to be beyond the financial capacity of parents.
Another reason contributing to conflicts is the interest in choosing a career path or education between
parents and teenagers. Young people are told that they have the world at their feet and that dazzling
future opportunities are just waiting for them to seize. However, their parents try to impose their
choices of university or career on them regardless of their children's preference. Indeed, conflicts
between parents and children are the ever lasting family phenomena. It seems that the best way to
solve the matter is open communication to create mutual trust and understanding.

4. According to the passage, what are the parents’ viewpoints about teenagers’ clothes?
A. Teenagers' clothes get the latest teen fashion trends.
B. Teenagers' clothes are too short and ripped.
C. Teenagers' clothes are contrary to the accepted standards and values of the society.
