听力原文：M: Do you think young people are given too much freedom nowadays, and that as a r

esult they've lost respect for their parents and their elders generally？

W: I don't think so. My parents never interfered with my plans too much. They advised me but never forced me to do anything I didn't want to do. I was allowed to take up the career that I liked. I think I respect and love them more for this.

M: Are you quite independent of them now？

W: Yes. Since I left school and started my studies as a nurse, I've become independent financially. I have a government grant which is enough for my keep. But I still stay with them a lot, as you know.

M: You seem very close to your parents.

W: I am. I know that many young people today say they have nothing in common with their parents but I'm rather lucky because I get on very well with mine. What about you？

M: Well, we value family life very much in our country. I'm very fond of my family, but I don't always get on very well with them. They try to control me too much.

W: But they allowed you to come to study in England on your own!

M: Yes, but only after a lot of persuasion! Your parents treat you as an adult; mine treat me as a child.

W: As I said, I'm lucky. Some English parents are like yours. They interfere too much and they're out of sympathy with our generation.

M: That's really a problem.

W: Maybe it's just because of a lack of communication.
