[00:00.76]易考范文八
[00:03.60]In the cartoon,
[00:06.66]a girl tells her mother on the phone that she cannot go back home
[00:10.71]and spend the National Day holiday together with her parents
[00:14.43]because she has booked a sightseeing trip.
[00:16.95]The girl looks happy but her aged 1 mother disappointed.
[00:20.23]It goes without saying that this cartoon mirrors the relationship
[00:24.82]between adult children and their elderly parents.
[00:28.54]Nowadays, the increasingly fierce competition compels people to
[00:34.23]make every effort to work. And they make use of their precious spare time
[00:38.93]to entertain themselves as an escape from stressful reality.
[00:43.30]Therefore, they practically have no time to spend together with their parents.
[00:48.78]The aged parents, on the other hand,
[00:51.29]overwhelmed by a vacuum when they retire from their jobs,
[00:55.33]have nothing to do but long for their children to come back.
[00:59.38]As far as I can see,
[01:01.35]the quality of the relationship between parents and children
[01:04.85]is of supreme 2 significance.
[01:07.48]It is also important that parents feel happy in the knowledge that they are loved.
[01:12.83]That is to say, children need to spend more time with their parents
[01:17.32]and express love and concern about them.
[01:20.27]In addition, it is advisable for the parents to accept the fact that
[01:25.52]sooner or later their children will leave them for an independent life.
[01:30.22]By looking for social circles of their own and cultivating hobbies
[01:34.82]such as writing, painting and singing, elderly parents
[01:38.43]will enjoy a more meaningful life in their remaining years.
