Generation gap refers to the distance and contradiction between the old and the youth.It’s a common phenomenon that exists everywhere in the world and influences both the old and the youth.

Generally speaking,generation gap results in different understanding and appreciation of the great and constant changes of the world,different reactions to new things,and different attitudes to traditional principles and belief.

Therefore,we say where there are the old and the youth,there is the generation gap.

Take John’s family as an example.John and his father have never been in agreement in doing things,and always have a quarrel whenever they are going to do something.

Generation gap is natural,but very influential.

If we cannot deal will it appropriately,the gap will be greater and greater,and consequently will affect our work and the relation between the old and the youth.
