背景介绍：

Generation gap is not an unfamiliar term for us. Whether kids are in their adolescence or not, there always seems to be a lack of understanding between parents and children. They dislike the thoughts and behavior of each other while children often complain that their parents cannot understand them. Nowadays, the problem of generation gap becomes more and more serious.
我们对代沟这个词并不陌生。不论我们是否在青春期，代沟总是在那里，不悲不喜。孩子和家长间相互不认同，不理解，进而引发抱怨。当下，代沟引发的问题也越来越严重。

范例1：

It is not demanding to explain the existence of generation gap. What is widely acknowledged is that distinctive upbringing background is the predominant reason. The social background in our parents‘ time is fairly different from ours, as a result of which there is a stark contrast between our personal values and our parents`. Another factor contributing to generation gap is the lack of tolerance and respect. Parents want us to obey them all the time while we, more or less, own a sense of rebellion. Thus, here comes the conflict. The ensuing consequence is that parents and children tend to communicate with each other less and less, which is the very third reason of generation gap. This is a vicious cycle. In other words, conflicts lead to less communication therefore it gives rise to more conflicts. Fortunately, generation gap is, at least, not that challenging to make of. Countless children get along with their parents well.

范例2：

The generation gap, a frequently discussed issue, exists not only in adolescence, but also in other age groups. It is a thorny problem in some families, which could probably lead to a family break-up in the last. To smooth away generation gap, in fact, requires pivotal techniques for both parents and offsprings. However, hardly did people pay enough attention to it.

The first solution, in my opinion, is love and devotion. It is believed that parents' love and devotion could strengthen family bonds as well as give their children a sense of obligation. 'Putting your feet in other's shoes' is widely acknowledged as the second solution. Owing to China's fast development, people from different generations are raised up in different social backgrounds. Naturally, they stick to different perspectives. Trying to acknowledge the divergence and understand each other are the right way to go. Finally, mutual respect is helpful for solving the problem as well. Parents should look on their children as friends. And they have to get accustomed to giving advices instead of making decisions for their offsprings. In contrast, children should value parents' suggestions rather than scorning parents as old-fashioned poor guy.
