Generation gap English example

Survey: The generation gap is getting bigger and bigger in China. Update of Shanghai Star Report: 2004-09-0416: 4 1000 A survey group of 30 key middle schools in Shanghai found that the generation gap between students and their parents is getting bigger and bigger, and only one fifth of them said they would reveal themselves to their parents. Only 3.3% people said they would like to reveal their inner thoughts to their teachers. According to the survey conducted by the Youth Research Center of Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, most students said that they are more willing to vent their true feelings to their classmates. "Too high expectations will lead us to lose hope or confidence; Too much interference will arouse our disgust, "said Hu Shuying, president of Yangpu Senior High School Student Union. Students said in the survey that parents only pay attention to superficial things, such as nutrition, clothes, stationery and performance in school. One student said: "We try to cross, but there is always a self-evident gap." . Students say that parents only pay attention to their scores and seldom try to create a safe, harmonious, democratic and colorful atmosphere at home. Parents don't care about cultivating their children's family intimacy or cultivating their self-confidence, independence, self-discipline or the ability to take care of themselves. In today's educational environment, teachers are positioned as authoritative figures in learning, rather than good friends in students' lives. Because only students with good test scores are considered as apples in the eyes of teachers, most students think their teachers are biased. "I feel very sad to hear such remarks," said Yu Yi, a famous special-grade teacher. She recalled that in the past, teachers and students sat on the grass to play basketball or comment on novels during recess. But today, study and good grades are the only topics between students and teachers. "The school is not only a place to impart knowledge, but also a place to teach students how to be an upright person," Yu said. "A person's success depends not only on his intelligence, but also on his emotional state." Yang Xiong, director of the Youth Research Institute, said that the examination-centered education system should be mainly responsible for the widening generation gap. He said: "Parents should also carefully reflect on their attitudes and learn more about their children's inner world in order to become better parents in today's society."
