TOEFL essay samples: Every generation of people is different in important ways Sat Dec 16, 2006 17:22 pm  TOEFL essay samples: Every generation of people is different in important ways
 

Every generation of people is different in important ways. How is your generation different from your parents’ generation? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your answer?

Present young generation is always different from their parents’ generation. There are many ways in which both generations are different. This difference does not mean that one is good and other is bad. Both generations have some negative and positive aspects. In my view, these are the following things in which both generations are different.

Today present generation is completely based on computers. Present generation very well knows the use of internet and chatting on computers. Present generation mostly prefers the use of computers. But our parents’ generation do not depend on computers. Infact, I would like to say most of the parents do not know to operate computers. Present generation has forgotten letter writing. They are using only e-mails. But our parents’ generation is still using letter writing. I have seen the good example of this in my home. My parents and my in-laws both do not know the use of computers. But youngsters have a command on computers.

In the present generation, even children are using mobile and other electronic items like IPOD, MP3 etc. On the other hand, our parents’ generation is still using land line connections and other simple instruments. Parents’ are not crazy for these electronic items. In my home we have an MP3 player but my parents’ never use it.

What I like the most in my parents’ generation is that they know how to make the relationships in family and neighbourhood. But today’s generation do not have that quality. Present generation always thinks about oneself and only for family members. Present generation do not think for their relatives and neighbours. Present generation is globalized but our parents’ generation pass their whole life at one place. They do only one type of job. They don’t like any change in their living. Our present generation have the habit to study and get knowledge. Therefore, we find good opportunities to progress in life. Wherever, the present generation finds a better job they ready to go. If we see the ratio of people who go abroad, we will find it to be higher for the present generation as compared to our parents’ generation.

Finally I would like to say there are many differences in both generations. But it will be good, if we learn good things from our parents’ and parents’ learn from young generation. This will be good not only for a person and a family but also for the progress of a country.

Hi,

THE Present young generation is always different from their parents’ generation. There are many ways in which both generations are different. This difference does not mean that one is good and THE other is bad. Both generations have some negative and positive aspects. In my view, these are the following things in which both generations are different.

Today THE present generation is completely based??? on computers. THE Present generation KNOWS very well the use of THE internet and chatting on computers. THE Present generation mostly prefers the use of computers. But our parents’ generation do not depend on computers. In fact, I would like to say most parents do not know HOW to operate computers. THE Present generation has forgotten letter writing. They are using only e-mails. But our parents’ generation is still using letter writing. I have seen A good example of this in my home. My parents and my in-laws both do not know the use of computers. But youngsters have a command OF computers.

In the present generation, even children are using mobile and other electronic items like IPOD, MP3 etc. On the other hand, our parents’ generation is still using land line connections and other simple instruments. Parents are not crazy ABOUT these electronic DEVICES. In my home we have an MP3 player but my parents never use it.

What I like the most in my parents’ generation is that they know how to make the relationships in family and neighbourhood. But today’s generation do not have that quality. THE Present generation always thinks about ITself and only OF family members. THE Present generation do not think ABOUT their relatives and neighbours. THE Present generation is globalized but our parents’ generation SPEND`their whole life at one place. They do only one type of job. They don’t like any change in their living. Our present generation have the habit to study and get knowledge. Therefore, we find good opportunities to progress in life. Wherever, the present generation finds a better job they ARE ready to go. If we see the ratio of people who go abroad, we will find it to be higher for the present generation as compared to our parents’ generation.

Finally I would like to say there are many differences in both generations. But it will be good, if we learn good things from our parents and parents learn from THE youngER generation. This will be good not only for a person and a family but also for the progress of a country.

NOTE

Decide whether you want to use 'generation' with a singular or plural verb and stick to one form - both forms are acceptable.

There is no need to use an apostrophe after the word 'parents' if it is not showing possession.

Finally don't get impatient if your essays are not corrected immediately. You have put several on line within a short space of time. Remember this service is free and at my discretion.
