Read the dialogue and do the assignments following it:
Clean Up Your Room
(After Art Buchwald)
(You don't really feel the generation gap in this country until a son or daughter comes home from college for Christmas. This dialogue is probably taking place all over America this week.)
— Nancy, you've been home from college for three days now. Why don't you clean up your room?
— We don't have to clean up our room at college Mother.
— That's very nice and I'm happy you're going to such a freewilling institution.. But while you are in the house I would like you to clean up your room.
— What difference does it make? It's my room.
— I know, dear. And it really doesn't mean so much to me. But your father is much afraid of the plague. He said this morning if it's going to start anywhere in this country, it's going to start in your room.
— Mother, you people aren't interested in anything really important. Do you realize how big corporations are polluting our environment?
— Your father and I are very much worried about it. But now we are more concerned with the pollution in your bed room. You haven't made your bed since you came home.
— I never make it at the college.
— Of course you don't and I'm sure the time you save goes toward your education. But we still have that old- fashioned ideas about making beds in the morning and we can't give them up. And since you are at home for such a short time, why don't you do it to please us?
— Oh, Mother, I'm quite grown-up! Why do you have to" treat me like a child?
— We are not treating you like a child. But it's difficult for us to realize you're an adult when you throw all your clothes on the floor.
— I haven't thrown all my clothes on the floor. Only those I wore yesterday.
— I'm sorry I exaggerated. Well, how about the dirty dishes on your desk? Are you collecting them for a science project?
— Mother, you don't understand us. You people were brought up to have clean rooms. But our generation doesn't care about things like that.
— No one respects education more than you; father and I do, particularly at the prices they are charging. But we can't see how living in dirt can improve you mind.
— All right, all right. I'll clean up my room if it means that much to you. But I want you to know you've ruined my vacation.
— It was a risk I had to take. Oh, by the way, I know it's terrible thing to ask you, but would you mind helping me to wash the dinner dishes?
— Wash dishes? Nobody washes dishes at college.
— Your father and I were afraid of that.
a free-willing institution — заведение, где можно делать все, что хочется.
plague — чума
to pollute the environment — загрязнять окружающую среду.
exaggerate — npeyвеличивать

a) Say in what way the girl thinks her generation differs from that of her parents. Is she right?

Read the joke and say what it adds to the "generation gap" problem:
A Talk in the Tram
— Who's that long-haired young man?
It's not a young man. It's my daughter.
Indeed? You’re such a young father?
I’m not the father. I’m the mother.

Read the poem and try to explain the meaning of it.
What Is This Life?
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows;
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass;
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night;
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance;
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began?
A poor life is this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

Let`s think
It is known that people’s life is the most important thing in the world. Many people don’t even notice how it «runs». We are always in a hurry. What for? Coming to our «sunset» we understand that we know nothing about life… We should say «stop» to ourselves and begin to live! Just appreciate every minute, feelings of other people, health …

Let`s think
Most of us would like to be happy, if only we knew how. What makes people happy? Can we realise how happy we are? A famous philosopher says that we are happy when we don’t notice this feeling. Do you agree with this statement? We have many problems in our life. The most serious of them are problems concerning family. There are so many families without children… Parents must make their choice…
