Recently there has been some heated discussion on the family relationship The issue that families are now not as close as they used to be is a complex one, since it involves a conflict of values. In my view, the final judgment will depended on a combination of two (three) essential aspects.

(原因1)Compared with the past, great changes have taken place in the size of a family life. As a result, the young people are more willing to live in their smaller family units rather than sharing the same apartment with the parents. With the time goes by, it is natural that family members are not as closed as they used to be. (原因2)Additionally, the pattern of social production as a whole also undergoes certain dramatic transformation. So the younger generation usually work under such a pressure that they seldom have enough time to stay with their parents. Gradually, The concept of a large family is fading from their minds. (原因3)Finally, the country has, for the past decades, witnessed an upsurge of scientific technology. So nowadays, a variety of modern technical devices are available. By and by, the young people find it more convenient to contact their parents through telephone or E-mails instead of staying with their parents.

In view of such social phenomenon, it is imperative to take some urgent steps. For one thing, young generation is expected to enhance their awareness that a closed family is crucial for their parents. For another thing, the media, in collaboration with government departments concerned, is obliged to take concrete measures to encourage the young people to spend more time with their family members. Only in this way can a closed family be maintained. (298 words)

最近有一些熱烈的討論在家庭關係問題上,家庭現在不如以前是一個複雜的一個,因為它涉及價值觀的衝突。在我看來,最終判決將取決於(三)必不可少的兩個方面的結合。

(原因1)與過去相比,發生了巨大的變化在大小的家庭生活。因此,年輕人更願意生活在較小的家庭單位而不是與父母分享同樣的公寓。隨着時間的流逝,很自然的是家庭成員不像以前的那樣封閉。(原因2)此外,整個社會生產模式也經歷了一定的戲劇性的轉變。所以年輕一代通常工作在這樣的壓力下,他們很少有足夠的時間和父母呆在一起。漸漸地,一個大家庭的概念已經從他們的想法。(原因3)最後,國家,在過去的'幾十年,見證了科學技術的熱潮。所以現在,各種現代技術設備是可用的。漸漸地,年輕人發現它更方便聯繫父母通過電話或電子郵件,而不是與父母同住。

針對這種社會現象,必須採取緊急措施。首先,年輕一代將提高他們的意識,一個封閉的家庭對他們的父母是至關重要的。另一方面,媒體與政府有關部門合作,必須採取切實措施來鼓勵年輕人花費更多的時間與他們的家人。只有這樣一個封閉的家庭可以維護。(298字)
