TASK 1 Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B, or C to each of the questions.
Is the generation gap in America no longer a severe problem as it used to be? Dating back to the 1960s when teenagers tended to lash out the values and goals of their parents as well as rebel against the authority figures, the incendiary conflicts between older and younger generations increased sharply. It’s because teenagers' world wasn’t any longer limited in a narrow society that wasn’t mobile, and instead of going to church every weekend, they were exposed to various forms of social media like television and radios. They got access to huge sources of new ideas, which liberated them from old-fashioned and boring lifestyles whereas many older people were conservative and didn’t accept differences disturbing their normal life. Over time, however, the tension between generations has been alleviated due to the improved mutual understanding of baby boomers, Millennials and even Zillennials in many fields of life. According to recent research, the largest generational discrepancies between young and old in the United States are the use of technology and taste in music. Nevertheless, in terms of technological use, many older people gradually learn how to use a laptop or smartphone to surf the Internet from their children and especially their grandchildren due to their recognition of huge technological benefits. Regarding the musical differences, unlike in the past, older generations nowadays appear to give fewer critical remarks on what type of music teens should listen to and begin to accept the variety of music tastes when living under the same roofs.

Skipping breakfast or having fast food for dinner was not uncommon for Matt. He lives with his extended family. His uncle has just found out he has a heart disease, the same condition that Matt's late grandfather suffered from. This news has pushed Matt to make some changes to his lifestyle. He's having a more balanced diet with less fat and salt. Even when he's late for school, Matt now tries to make time for a healthy breakfast. He also pays more attention to his fitness and works out properly. Now he's happy with his progress toward a healthier life but Matt's also thinking of the future. In a few years, Matt will leave for college and live an independent life. In order to stay healthy, Matt believes he should learn how to cook and must not rely on fast food in college. That's why he has recently signed up for a cooking class and spent more time in the kitchen with his mother.
Anna: Hello, grandpa. Can I ask you a question?
Anna: I’ve watched a documentary about cities in the future at school and I’m curious about how our city was when you were young.
Grandpa: It looked different compared to the city today. I moved to this city when I was just 8 years old. Back then, there were no high-rise buildings. The public transportation system was not as extensive as it is today. To get to places, I had to walk or use my bike.
Anna: Interesting! Do you think our city will remain the same in 30 years?
Grandpa: Certainly not. I think the number of city dwellers will increase significantly. To accommodate its huge population, people will build more tall buildings.
Anna: You don’t sound very excited.
Grandpa: How can I be? Modern cities are awful. Pollution, traffic jams, and a lack of green space are just a few problems facing our city.
Anna: I see your point, but I love modern cities. According to the documentary, modern cities can become smart cities in the future. Aware of these mentioned problems, people are solving them with car-free transport systems, and roof gardens… With new technology, smart cities can make our life more convenient. You should watch the documentary.
An extended family consists of multiple generations living together. It can include grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins... Like many Asian people, I've lived with my extended family since I was born. My grandparents, my parents, and I make up our family. I think living in an extended family is better. The economic benefit of sharing the same roof is significant. With the expensive housing market, living together can help you save money. In addition, living with many relatives also lightens the load of the household chores. Everyone can share and help each other with tasks around the house. For me, the experience of living with my extended family strengthens our relationships. I often confide in my grandfather about my worries and troubles; in return, he gives me valuable advice. It's true we can get into arguments sometimes because of many different views, but I think it makes us closer and more understanding.
