daughter Susan. She never listens to us. I think she doesn't even like us. She and her friends just use the house like a convenient hotel, and she wears these terrible clothes. I think she does it to upset us.

2 They want to be treated like adults,

but they won't take adult responsibilities. They just sit around, listening to loud music.

3 Well, they're so boring. I mean, they want us to be like them and accept their way of life.

4 That's easy- everything.


8 Role-play the situations (1, 2) in pairs.

1 You belong to a very close family who have always done things together.

You'd like to spend more time with your friends, especially at weekends. But your parents always organise family activities th t fill up the whole weekend, and say you're too young to go off on your own. What would you do and say to your parents?

2 Susan is 16. Every year she, her parents and her younger brother who is 14 go on a family holiday to their house by the lake. A week before the holiday Susan's boyfriend Andrew who is 18 asks her to join him and a group of friends on a

camping trip. She

wants to go but knows that it will not be easy to persuade her father. Also, she does not want to upset or disappoint her parents. She decides to speak to her father and mother after dinner.

She has sent you the following questions that she would like to discuss with you.

F10J Do the individual project 'Three Generations' following the items below.

1 Interview your grandmother or grandfather, or the grandparents of one of your friends. Think carefully what questions you are going to ask them. (Ask them about their childhood and their relationship with their own parents and grandparents.)



2 Ask your parents the same questions.

3 Answer the same questions yourself.

4 Compare the answers and discuss the generation gap (what is the same, what is different).

5 You can decide on the questions, each of you within the group is going to ask, so that you have a greater range of answers to compare. Try to reach some kind of conclusion on the generation gap question.
