Nowsaday, when the world develops rapidly, which is accompanied by

urbanization. So that we tend to move to city or get out of our house
where we used to grow up to live independently. As a result of, living
with extended family gradually disappear. However, from my point of
view, living in a house which have more than three generation helps close
the generation gap so much.

When it comes to living in an extended family, we can not deny the

benefits it brings us to bridge the generation gap. Firstly, if we live in a
house with may generation and each age group has its perspective so that
they can share their ideas, value, outlook with each other on a regular
basis.Older generation can share their own life experiences, lessons
earned to youngsters. In return, teenagers may share their creative
outlook, discuss school life, companions, preferences and ask for advice.
For example, a member is struggling with problem, the others can show
their mentality about this issue and join hand to find the best way to
address this problem. Futhermore, living together can give a chance for
everyone in family not only understanding each other but also to respect
their differences. For intance, teenagers can share their hobby such as:
eating preference, dressing or current trend… to their grandparents and
then it helps grandparents empathize with our grandchildren. This may
boost relationships and lessen distant in age group.

To sum up, there are good things as well as bad thing of living in
extended. However, I do belive that the advantages outweigh the
disadvantages. If each generation know how to coexist peacefully and
understand each other, this kind of family will become the best choice to
bridge the generation gap.
