Speaker 1: I had mine when I was 24 . that ’ s a little young . I ’ d suggest you wait until you are in your late twenties . , or even in your early thirties if you have a good career . Speaker 0: Yes , I think you ’ re right . I ’ m thinking about having a child , but not just yet . Speaker 1: Is there a big generation gap between parents and their children in you country ? Speaker 0: Yes , there is . Teenagers do not want to live traditional lives . They want to go out , have fun , and explore the world . They want to develop their own view of life . Parents usually try to discourage them , but they don ’ t often succeed . Speaker 1: Parents usually give their children more freedom in my country . Sometimes they give them too much freedom . Speaker 0:

It ’ s almost impossible to get the right balance . If you are too strict , kids might ignore you . If you are too lenient , they might go wild .
