Passage 1.
Most young couples have meals regularly in their parents’ home with little or no pay, and give their
children to the care of old couples free of charge.
Investigations have shown that parents of many young couples don’t mind providing meals and caring for
their children. However, this practice should not become an accepted social custom. The old couples’
expense on food has already increased while young couples spend more on clothing and furnishing and
less on food. If this trend continuous, many young couples might take this privileges for granted and
become more dependent.
It is not right for young couples to make use of the old couples’ love, not only because our nation is well-
known for its special respect paid to the elderly, but also because the young must become independent.
What young people should do is to become more considerate towards their old parents. After long years
of hard work, they are worthy of such consideration.
