VIII. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Family conflicts are an inherent part of human relationships, stemming from the diverse
personalities, perspectives, and dynamics within a family unit. These conflicts can arise due to
various factors, including differences in values, communication styles, and expectations.
One common source of family conflict is different values and beliefs. Each family
member may have their own set of values and principles, influenced by their upbringing,
personal experiences, and social influences. These differences can lead to disagreements,
particularly when it comes to important decisions or lifestyle choices.
Communication breakdowns also contribute to family conflicts. Ineffective
communication, whether it be through misinterpretation, misunderstandings, or lack of active
listening, can exacerbate tensions and escalate conflicts within the family. Different
communication styles and approaches further complicate matters, as individuals may have
varying preferences for directness, assertiveness, or emotional expression.
Moreover, unfulfilled expectations often become a source of conflict within families.
Each family member may have their own set of expectations regarding roles, responsibilities,
and behaviours. When these expectations are not met, it can lead to disappointment, resentment,
and conflicts.
 Resolving family conflicts requires open and honest communication and empathy. Active
listening, seeking to understand others’ perspectives, and finding common ground can help
bridge the gaps and foster understanding within the family unit. Family members should also be
willing to adapt and adjust their expectations for peaceful coexistence.

IX. Read the passage and decide whether the following statements are true (T), false (F) or
not given (NG).
Communication conflicts among different generations are a prevalent issue in
contemporary society. As each generation is shaped by unique experiences, values, and
communication styles, misunderstandings and conflicts often arise. These conflicts result from a
lack of understanding and empathy for each other’s perspectives.
One significant contributing factor to these conflicts is the rapid advancement of
technology. Older generations may struggle to adapt to the digital age, while younger
generations are immersed in it. This difference in technological proficiency can create a gap in
communication. For instance, older individuals might find it challenging to use social media
platforms or new modes of communication like emojis and abbreviations. On the other hand,
younger individuals may overlook the importance of face-to-face conversations and rely heavily
on text-based interactions.
Moreover, different attitudes towards authority and social ranking can also lead to
communication conflicts. Older generations often value respect to authority figures, while
younger generations tend to prioritise equality and question traditional social ranking. These
contrasting viewpoints can result in misunderstandings and disagreements during discussions or
decision-making processes.
To address communication conflicts among different generations, fostering empathy and
open-mindedness is crucial. Both younger and older individuals must make an effort to
understand each other’s communication styles, preferences, and underlying values. This can be
achieved through active listening, patience, and a willingness to learn from one another.
Additionally, bridging the digital gap through inter- generational technology training programs
can help older individuals feel more included and competent in the digital age.
__T___ 1. Older generations find it hard to understand new forms of communications like
abbreviation.
__F___ 2. Younger generations show their respect to authority figures.
__F___ 3. Digital gap is not a cause for communication breakdown.
__NG___ 4. Nowadays, different generations do not often talk to each other.
___T___ 5. A technology training program including both young and old generations can help
reduce the digital gap.
