How many languages you know — that many times you are a person. Скільки мов ти знаєш-стільки разів ти людина. A different language is a different vision of life.Інша мова - це інше бачення життя (Фредеріко Фелліні). Who does not know foreign languages does not know anything about his own.Хто не знає іноземних мов, нічого не знає і про свою власну (Гете). To have another language is to possess a second soul.Володіти іншою мовою - це як мати другу душу. (Карл Великий).

Generation Gap: Reality or a Psychological Prejudice? 

To my mind generation gap is rather reality than a psychological prejudice. It has always  been a topical problem and it still remains urgent nowadays. 

So what does a generation gap mean? It is a popular term used to describe big differences  between people of a younger generation and their elders. This can be defined as occurring 'when 

older and younger people do not understand each other because of their different experiences,  opinions, habits and behavior'. The term first came into prominence in Western countries during  the 1960s, and described the cultural differences between the Baby Boomers and their parents.  Although some generational differences have existed throughout history, during this era  differences between the two generations grew significantly in comparison to previous times,  particularly with respect to such matters as musical tastes, fashion, drug use, culture and politics. 

Nowadays you will hardly find a boy or a girl satisfied with their parents. Neither will you  find a grown-up, a parent not grumbling over younger generation' of their children. Pop music,  ultra-modern clothes, noisy parties and children's wish to have more freedom become a  stumbling-block on the way of mutual understanding between adults and their offspring and help  foster differences between parents and teenagers. So it seems that in most families parents don't  understand their children and children don't understand their parents. 

According to the older generation teenagers are lazy, carefree, ungrateful, impolite and  rude. They wear ridiculous clothes, listen to awful music and all they think about is parties,  dates, friends and entertainment. Teenagers have very little responsibility and very few  problems. But is it really so? If we look inside the mind of a teenager, we will see a very  different picture. Teenagers are greatly worried about a great number of things: their appearance,  relations with friends, parents and teachers, the way other people (especially their peers) treat  them. They suffer from pimples, bullies, problems at school, misunderstanding with their  boyfriend/girlfriend, lack of self-confidence, etc. Teenagers often don't know what they are good  at and their future seems to be rather vague. Every day they face a lot of stressful situations and  feel depressed. Besides they have constant pressure from betters and elders as to how they  should act, behave, look and feel. 

There are a lot of books and films devoted to the problem of the generation gap. One of  such films is 'Freaky Friday' (2003). The wide generation gap between Tess Coleman (Jamie  Lee Curtis) and her teenage daughter Anna (Lindsay Lohan) is more than evident. They simply  cannot understand each other's preferences. They have absolutely different views on clothes,  hair, music, duties and even people. On a Friday morning the mother and the daughter switch  bodies. As they adjust with their new personalities, they begin to understand each other more  and eventually they gain respect for the other's point of view. It is 'selfless love' that changes  them back. 

But of course there is no magic in real life, that's why there should be some other way to  bridge the gap between parents and their children. To my a little wiser, children will find a key  to the heart of their parents and vice versa.
