作者： ALEX Topic Some
people say that older people should live with their adult children.
Others say that they shouldn't. Which do you think is good practice. TEXT（257
Words） One of the topics in daily
life is whether or not the older people should live with their adult
children. My answer is the question is that it is better for them
not to. Firstly, people of different
ages have different ways of life. The old people like a quiet, peaceful
and regular life whereas the young prefer noises, activities and unrestrained
enjoyment. If they live together, old may feel that they are always
disturbed and the young may feel that they are often handicapped. Secondly,
people of different generations have different views and values. What
is quite normal to the parents may seem to be old-fashioned or wrong
to the children. When they live together, they may disagree on matters
ranging from minor domestic matters to national and international
issues. Consequently, family life may be unpleasant or even unbearable
to both the old and the young. Last
but not the least, adult children, like their parents, love independence
and freedom, but their parents still take them as children and unintentionally
interfere in their affairs. The situation will be worse if the adult
children are already married. In this case, the children have already
built a new and closed world and any outside interference may lead
to conflicts. From what has been
discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that if the parents
and their adult children do not live together, both the old and the
young can enjoy complete independence and freedom, live a life they
like, and keep intact their affections for each other.
