　　Model Essay(范文)：

　　The principal differences between my generation and my parents’ generation are in how theyrelate to others. My generation is more tolerant of other people’s choices, less concernedabout what others think, and more self-centered.

　　My parents’ generation has stricter standards about what kinds of behavior are acceptable.They sometimes have a hard time accepting the fact that other people may have different ideasabout what’s right and what’s wrong. My generation thinks people should have a lot of choices.For example, they choose whom they want to live with, whether or not to have children,whether or not to practice a particular religion, and what to do for a living.

　　My parents’ generation is much more concerned about what other people think of them. Manygrew up in tightly knit communities where people knew each other’s families. Filling in meantthat you had to act a certain way. Many of my generation grew up in loosely knit communities,where we only knew about our closest neighbors. We didn’t care what the rest of thecommunity thought of us. Also, we were a very rebellious generation and often did thing justto shock people.

　　Wherever we grew up, most of my generation didn’t have to worry about having enough to eator a roof over our heads. My parents’ generation did. They grew up during the GreatDepression, when many people were poor. For this reason, my parents didn’t have time toanalyze their feelings or think about their inner selves. They were too busy trying to get by.Children of my generation were well taken care of by their parents. Because of that, we had timeto think about ourselves and our place in the universe. As adults, many of us have continuedto be self-absorbed. We join health clubs to be prefect in body and go into therapy to beperfect in mind.

　　When I think about our actions, it seems that my parents’ generation is more “outer” directedand my generation is more “inner directed.”
