Choose the best anwers for the following questions (Questions 11 – 17)
The generation gap, which refers to a broad difference between one generation and another, especially between young people and their parents, usually leads to numerous conflicts Such family conflicts can seriously threaten the relationship between parents and children at times
Trang 3It goes without saying that, however old their children are, parents still regard them
