Leling/ "They don't connect" Does this reflect the relationship between adults and adolescence today?

Some may argue that the basic interests of adults and adolescences differs and thus do not connect. With differing interests, adults and adolescences may not have common topics to talk about,engendering less communications between the two. This can be seen in the different types of music that adolescences and adults are interested in. Most adolescence are interested in pop songs while most adults are more interested in music that are popular during their generation. For example, many adolescences are into kpop while adults are more interested in songs sung by The Beatles. However, there are still common interests shared by both adults and adolescences that still connects them. As times have changed, the disparity of interests between adults and adolescences have also narrowed. For example, many adults are as into playing online games on facebook as the adolescences today. Similarly, many adolescences are also interested in "retro" fashion during the seventies and eighties. Such common interests between adults and adolescences help them to have something in common, bridging the two. Hence, adolescences and adults still connect because of the many interests that are shared between them today.

  1. hi leling!
    good use of sv+ov+r as well! i like your examples 'bout the retro fashion that adolescents are interested in now that will allow them to connect with adults :)

    other than that!
    well done as you've clearly showed the link between adults & adolescents due to shared interests. good examples!

  2. Hi Le Ling and Lynn,

    There is a solid argument here, I agree, but there is no layering.

    What is written here is a simple OV+R which is great for JC1 but not so for JC2 work. Let's try to rewrite this but by putting forth:

    the SV first (there are common interests btwn the two)
    +
    the mini OV (there may be popular cases cited to argue otherwise such as the fast evolving music scene)
    +
    rebuttal (is the OV reasonable or only focusing on one aspect of life? is it thus a narrow argument? why? strengthen your point by giving more examples)
