The problem between parents and children is one of the most serious problems in the world. Parents give life and education to children and also take care of them. But why do children often argue with their parents?
★ It’s a two-side problem. Parents used to solve all problems for children when they were young. And when they are older, it’s quite difficult for parents to understand and accept that children have their own opinions. Children believed every word of their parents before, but now they begin to argue with parents and refuse to follow them.
★ What parents do for children isn’t always right. Mother and father try their best to make decisions for their children, because they think they aren’t old enough. Parents want to stop them from making mistakes. But in fact, anyone might sometimes learn from mistakes.
★ Children have their own ideas. From their side, they think they know more about the modern(现代的) world than their parents. They really want to run away from parents. So the argument will not seem to end.
★ Children and parents should understand each other. Children should know parents’ life experience can sometimes help them to make better decisions. Parents, in the other hand, should give children a chance to make their own decisions. Of course, children have to take responsibility(负责) for their decisions.
1. What is the biggest problem between parents and children according to the writer?
A. They like different food and clothes. B. They have different decisions.

A. They needn’t care about each other.
B. They should understand each other.
