Passage 2
We often hear people talking about a generation gap. The name is new, but the idea is old. Young people and their parents don t understand each other. The world keeps changing. It has always kept changing. During the second century after Christ a wise man said: "Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down."
There has always been a gap between generations, but more people talk
about it now. Old Mr. Ellis thinks he understands what has happened

"When I was a boy, I thought the world was a beautifu l place. My life was
very pleasant. But when I was older. l learned about people who were treated badly, people who didn t have enough to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to meetings and talked a lot, but it didn t seem to make much difference. "
"Our children grew up in a world at war. They didn t know when the fighting would stop. They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. They didn t want to think about the future. They thought nothing could be done about it."
"Now I have grandchildren, and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world better. They are trying to help other people. They re making people listen to them． I am proud of their generation．"
