absent connect depend happy help involve live normal patient pattern reunion traditionHow many people are there in your family? In most East Asian cultures, many generations (代) of a family
are used to 1 under one roof (屋顶). That’s called an extended family. However, in Western countries,
most families are nuclear families or families in which just parents and their children are 2 .
It seems there is a less close 3 between generations in Western cultures. Western kids 4
move out after they turn 18. They are considered old enough to be 5 of their parents. Many even work
part-time in order to pay for college.
Although family 6 of the East and West are different, the love between family members is the
same.
Actually, living in an extended family can be both enjoyable and troublesome. Li Na, a 14-year-old girl,
holds that living with her grandparents is quite 7 . “The time I spend with my grandparents is longer
than that with my parents. Old people needn’t rush to work, so my grandparents have more 8 than my
parents with me. That helps me have a better understanding of companionship (陪伴),” she says.
Han Xiaomei, 13, says, “Most of the time, I enjoy living with my grandparents. I think they’re cute.
However, sometimes I can’t feel the 9 . They see new things with their 10 thoughts. I guess
this is called the generation gap (代沟).”

Family is the place where we can feel the spirit of family members and make it pass down 1
generation (一代) to generation.
One day, I fished with my grandfather. When we were sitting by the river, his bobber (浮漂) floated with
2 together. I felt a little worried. But he told me to be 3 . We were lucky to enjoy the 4
of the sun. I was with Grandfather happily. I wanted to be like him. He was well liked by everyone. He worked
hard all the time for everyone, but he tried his best 5 time to smile at the life.
My grandfather was an amazing man. He 6 me many things—the way to fish, the value of good
friends, the respect for the old and the importance of working hard. The list was long. My grandfather didn’t
always teach me or tell me 7 . Instead, I learned them from my mother. 8 she was a child, it
was my grandfather’s duty to teach and guide her. Then the things that my grandfather taught my mother would be
passed on to me. It’s a family tree.
The family tree is a learning tree. The smaller, younger branches (分支) are guided by the larger, olderones. They balance the family structure. Over time, the younger branches above grow large, join with other
families, and protect the 9 branches below them. Slowly, the old branches grow weak, die and fall
away. The branches above takeover (接管) their role on the learning tree, supporting (支持) their 10 . In
this way the life goes on for generation forever.
