听力原文：M: You think young people are given too much freedom nowadays, and that, as a res

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 I wanted. I think I respect and love them more for this.

M: Are you quite independent of them now？

W: Yes. As soon as I left high school and started my college studies as an elementary school teacher, I became 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 my 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.
