Grandparents are special people and we love ours! Here's what you say.
Giuliana Ross, Canada
I love everyone in my family, but my grandma is really special for me. She lives a few streets away from us, 
so when I want to be on my own, I usually walk to her house. She doesn’t ask questions. I love that. We do 
lots of things together, too, like making food, which we enjoy. At the moment, she’s teaching me to make her 
favourite dish, which her grandmother taught her. It’s quite hard to do, but I love sharing moments with her. 
It’s special.
Andy Davidson, USA
I love my granddad! He’s just the best - he can keep a secret; he helps me and he’s usually funny. We have 
lots of fun, and we have lots in common. We both enjoy going climbing. My granddad is really good at that - 
no one realises that he’s in his sixties.
Boris Sanneh, UK
My grandparents live in another country. They visit us about every three years, but it’s hard because we don’t 
really know what to talk about. They ask about school and things like that. That’s usually the first week. By 
the second week though, things are a bit better and it’s more ‘natural’. When my sister and I were younger, 
they visited more often and I remembered Grandpa doing silly things, like making faces when Mum wasn’t 
looking. He still does that sometimes. But now that they are older, I’d like them to live closer.

 Madonna Fan Mother
 My problem is my mum! She’s really nice and I get on well with her. I sometimes argue with her about 
 little things, but nothing important. All my friends love her - she’s great fun. When she was at my age, A One of the most important jobs parents have is to teach children about the world and how to live 
 successfully. However, every generation grows up in a world different from their parents’. This often 
 leads to young people feeling that their parents don’t understand them, and to parents feeling that their 
 kids’ values are wrong. This difference in attitudes and lack of understanding is called the generation gap.
B The effect of the generation gap on families is obvious: parents and children frequently disagree about 
 everything from clothes to music to careers. But the generation gap can also be felt in the workplace. As 
 young employees enter companies, they may have completely different expectations from the older 
 generation working in the company. Ideas about work-life balance, what makes a ‘good’ job, and how 
 managers and employees should talk to each other may be very different. This can lead to frustration for 
 everyone.
C But does it have to be this way? While it seems obvious to think of your own generation as ‘us’ and the 
 other generations as ‘them’, if we redefine ‘us’ as ‘our family’ or ‘our company’, then we can see both 
 generations as being on the same side - playing for the same team. And if we then truly listen to the people 
 around us - older and younger - with empathy, we can begin to accept that our differences may make us 
 stronger as a team. This means, of course, we also expect parents to learn from their children.
D That doesn’t mean that parents need to adopt their kids’ dress sense or listen to their music, but it does 
 mean that parents may need to learn more about the role of technology - for example, social media - in 
 their kids’ lives, and possibly even to try it for themselves before they criticize it.
E Here are three tips for bridging the generation gap:
 • Get to know other generations. Try to socialize with people who are both younger and older than you.
 • Learn to really listen and not just think about what you’re going to say next.
 • Remember: You can learn from anyone, whether they’re older or younger than you.
F The generation gap isn’t going to go away, because the world won’t stop changing. But if we start to think 
 of it as a source of learning and growth rather than just a conflict, we may make the world a better place 
 for everyone.
Task 1. Decide whether the sentences are true (T) or false (F), and correct the false ones.

 Dating Customs Around the World
 Dating is rare in Afghanistan because most marriages are arranged by parents, and schools are separate 
for boys and girls. The opportunities to meet are rare. Girls have a 7:00 pm curfew, while boys have an 11:00 
pm curfew.
 It is against the law to date in Iran. Teens are separated until they are of marrying age, then their families 
introduce them to each other and sometimes a courtship follows.
 Most teens go out in large groups and don't pair off until they are 18 or 19 years old in Australia. Girls 
often ask boys out and pay for the date, too. Couples often go to dinner parties, barbecues, or the beach.
 Dating is usually a group event in Europe. In Spain, teens join a pandilla, a club for a group of friends 
with the same interests, like cycling or hiking. Dating is done one-to-one and both girls and boys ask each 
other out and split the cost of the evening's entertainment.
 In Russia, dates take place at dances or at clubs where teens eat or chat with friends. As many as 30 teens 
may come to a cinema to attend a movie together. In small towns, teens meet in the streets downtown or gather 
around a fountain.
 In Japan and Korea, most high school students don't date or go to parties, but spend their time studying 
instead. Dating begins in college, when only boys do the asking and pay for the dates.

to follow rules in other places.
