Câu 1: Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question.
The generation gap is a commonly discussed social phenomenon, often attributed to rapid technological and societal changes. While older generations grew up in a world with less instant communication and different cultural norms, younger generations are digital natives, accustomed to instant information access and diverse perspectives. This difference in upbringing can lead to misunderstandings and disagreements in various aspects of life, from values and beliefs to lifestyle choices and communication styles. However, it"s crucial to remember that generalizations about entire generations can be misleading, and individual experiences within each generation are diverse. Bridging the generation gap requires empathy, open communication, and a willingness from both sides to understand and appreciate different viewpoints.

Câu 2: Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question.
Many sociologists argue that the generation gap is not a new concept, but rather a recurring theme throughout history. Each new generation develops its own identity and values, often in contrast to the previous one. This is a natural part of societal evolution and progress. However, the speed of change in the modern era, particularly in technology and culture, may be exacerbating the perceived gap. Instead of viewing it as a negative force, some argue that the generation gap can be a source of innovation and creativity, as each generation brings fresh perspectives and ideas to the table. The key is to foster dialogue and mutual respect to harness these diverse strengths.
