 Write an opinion essay on the given topic. You may use the ideas in

Sample answer:
 Many parents compare their own childhood with their children’s experiences because they want 
to teach them good behaviour. In my opinion, parents should not make such a comparison for two 
reasons.
 Firstly, parents and their children belong to different generations. Parents experienced different 
social changes and grew up in different economic conditions. These changes and conditions have 
formed their points of views and behaviour. However, many social norms have changed over the last 
decades. Therefore, it may be difficult to apply them to their children’s life nowadays.
 In addition, when children are compared to their parents, they may lose their confidence because 
they may think that they are not good enough. As a result, many of them will believe that their 
parents don’t believe in their abilities and become afraid of living independently.
 In conclusion, parents shouldn’t compare their life experiences with their children’s experiences 
because of generational differences and the negative emotional feelings that this comparison may 
cause to their children. CONSOLIDATION
