social activities scold generation gap The expressions above which I told you yesterday may be used during your discussions today. A generation gap describes a great difference in cultural standards between a younger generation and their elders. The generation gap occurs when older and younger people do not understand each other because of their different experiences, opinions, habits and behavior. Especially as one gets older, he or she isn’t always understood by the elders, because of what she or he does, says or wears. So she or he will often have trouble or pains during their growth.Pop musicStreet danceThings I like while my parents hate:Pop starsActivities my parents like while I hate.Old songsGeneration gapComputer gamesGo shoppingDoing houseworkChat on lineComic booksStudy all the timeAttending classes in holidayslet’s have a look at the following families.1234Picture talkingPicture 1☆What is the boy doing?

Just then my mother shouted at me, “do you have to turn up your music so loud?” I was surprised and had to come back to the fact. I found my father looking at me angrily, who was working at the desk.
