s were received enthusiastically both in England and in the United States.

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

W: I don't thinks 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 school and started my studies as a nurse I became independent financially. I have a government grant. It is enough for my daily life. But I still stay with them a lot, as you know.

M: You seem very close to your parents.

W: I am. 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 allow 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; my parents treat me as a child.

W: As t said, I'm lucky. Some English parents are like yours. They interfere too much and they just refuse to understand our generation.
