英语作文代沟的成因.doc

英语作文代沟的成因(The Causes of the Generation Gap)汉浯提示：请写一篇150字左右的文章，说明代沟的形成原因。写作导航第一段是引入，可从父母与孩子相互不理解导致互相埋怨开始，然后用问题：“什么是代沟的成因?”结束第一段；第二段探讨原因，其中之一是年轻人的生活方式与以往不同，这体现在教育、择业、婚姻上；第三段可探讨代沟的另一个原因，即父母对孩子的期望值过高，有时是把自己的意志强加给孩子，从而造成代沟；第三段指出另一个原因是社会的飞速发展导致知识和技能的加速更新，使得代沟形成；最后一段总结结束全篇。范文Parents say that children do not show them proper respect and obedience, while children complain that their parents do not understand them. This phenomenon is often referred to as the generation gap. What then are the causes of the generation gap?One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their way of life. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and agree to, and to continue the family occupation. In modern society, young people often travel a great distance for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.In the easily changing society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money; and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the strong desire that parents have for their children are another cause of the disagreement between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in comMon with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in modern society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in modern society, the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities.No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a future of our life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the changes of our society, and in the rapid speed at which society changes.Going AbroadNowadays study abroad is very popular. Even some primary school students, whose families are well off, are studying abroad, let alone university students and postgraduates. Studying abroad can widen ones view and help learn about the cultures of foreign countries. Of course, its a good way to learn foreign languages. But study abroad is not suitable for everyone because of the high cost, fees. If a students family cant support him , he has to struggle in a foreign country just for a living not for his studies. I think he neednt go abroad. He can study well in China.So study abroad is one way but not the only way to ones education and success目录 社会热点话题 1忘掉烦忧，开心生活！1 2爱是什么?1 3住城里好还是住乡下好？1 4休闲与生活质量.2 57天长假的利与弊.2 6工作，劳作与娱乐.2 7入世后我们该做些什么？3 8.加油！加油！中国足球！3 9我们为什么要工作？4 10明智的抉择北京2008奥运会4 11WTO将改变我们的生活.4 12举办最好的奥运会.5 13如何变成阔佬？5 14为中国干杯！5 15了解自然，保护生态.6 16媒体与名流.6 17保护大自然.7 18我们就要断水了！7 19汽车与空气污染.7 20你们把孩子惯坏了！8 21交通法规安全的保障.8 22五天工作日好！8 23污染全人类的公害.9 24.为什么大学生找工作难？9 25.地球人口太多了！10 26.人人起来反污染.10 现代文化生活话题 1.怎样考试才合理？10 2.教育需要变革.11 3.网络教育的特点.11 4.知识经济的人文特征.12 5.英文写作的重要性.12 6.阅读必需的生存技能.12 7.为什么母语学得那么好？13 8.我如何克服英语学习中的困难?13 9.如何扩大英语词汇量?14 10.如何应对面试（一）14 11.请爱护关心老人（一）14 12.去海外读书好.15 13.我们生活中的电视.15 14.如何学好英语？15 15.请关爱老人（二）16 16.如何写好短文？16 17.开卷有益。17 18.WTO与教育无关吗？17 19.去快餐店就餐。17 20.教育有什么用？18 21.中国的成人教育。18 22.现代家庭的变化。18 23.我们为什么要礼貌文明？19 24.快餐好不好？19 25.为什么要学英语？20 26.广告好不好？20 27.知识就是力量？20 28.我的爱好。21 29.我爱读书。21 30.电视广告真烦人！21 31.如何对待失败？22 32.考，考，考教师的宝。22 33.我最喜欢的课程。22 34.我最理想的工作。23 经济与科技 1.从APEC到WTO23 2.我们生活中的IT24 3.钱是什么？24 4.网上购物.24 5.如果没有电25 6.全球化教会我们什么？25 7.钱能干什么？26 8.对国内外企的期望.26 9.科技对我们生活的影响.27 10.做科学的消费者.27 11.我们为什么要买保险？27 12.中国企业的出路.28 13.全球经济一体化.28 14.电脑和我们的生活.28 15.WTO与中国.29 16.入世后的中国.29 17.失业了怎么办？30 18.市场经济的特点.30 19.教育与现代化.30 20.汽车让我欢喜让我忧.31 21.交通堵塞几时休？31社会热点话题（1）STOPWORRYINGNOW!Worryisoneofthemostcommonformsofemotionaldistressinourculture.Almosteveryonespendsaconsiderableamountofpresentmomentsworryingaboutthefuture.Andvirtuallyallofitisfornothing.Obsessiveworrywillnevermakethingsanybetter.Infact,suchworrywillverylikelyhelpyoutobelesseffectiveindealingwiththepresent.
