  Every person has his own freedom. We decide to be free or not. One people think that freedom is an independence from their parents and other adults. Others think that freedom is the freedom to do what they want and go where they want.   As teenagers in all countries we enjoy going out, walking with our friends in the park or spending time in musical clubs. We want to be independent from our parents and other adults. We understand that learning is necessary for our life, but it's so boring. Of course, we go to school and try to be obedient, but not always. We want to get dressed up and have a little bit of pocket money. Many teenagers do not have the opportunity to dress as they want, because the parents do not always understand the modern fashion. Most of us often buy clothes at the markets or in the cheap stores and spend only the money that we are given by our parents.  Most of us can't earn some money because of different reasons. Nowadays some adults aren't able any work so the employers do not want to deal with juveniles and adolescents have problems with the law. That is why the amount of pocket money depends on the parents and their mood or financial well-being.
I think most of the problems associated with the conflict of generations, simply do not exist. Our fathers and mothers were young too, and they were fussing with their parents. When we grow up, we won’t understand our children. And that's OK. It is necessary to find a compromise and only love each other.
Каждый человек имеет свою собственную свободу. Мы сами решаем быть свободными или нет. Одним людям кажется, что свобода - это независимость от родителей и других взрослых людей. Другие думают, что свобода - это возможность делать то, что они хотят, ходить туда, куда им хочется. Как и подростки во всех странах мы любим проводить время вне дома, прогуливаясь с друзьями в парке или проводя время в музыкальных клубах. Нам хочется быть независимыми от родителей и других взрослых людей. Мы понимаем, что учиться необходимо, но это так скучно. Конечно, мы ходим в школу и стараемся быть послушными, но не всегда. Нам очень хочется красиво одеваться и иметь побольше карманных денег. Многие  подростки не имеют возможности одеваться так, как они хотят, потому что родители не всегда понимают современную моду. Чаще всего мы одеваемся на рынках или в недорогих магазинах и тратим только те деньги, которые нам дают родители. Большинство из нас не может заработать немного денег по  разным причинам. В настоящее время некоторые взрослые не в состоянии найти хоть какую-то работу, так что работодатели не хотят работать с несовершеннолетними подростками и иметь проблемы с законом. Вот почему количество карманных денег зависит от родителей и их настроения или финансового благополучия. Я думаю, что большинства проблем, связанных с конфликтами поколений, просто не существует. Наши папы и мамы тоже были молодыми и ссорились со своими родителями. Когда мы вырастем, мы тоже не будем понимать наших детей. И в этом нет ничего страшного. Нужно находить компромисс и просто любить друг друга.

dear jane,

how are you doing? i’m just writing to let you know that everything is all right now. this is a nice quiet place. the people are friendly, and the weather is warm. we’ve been staying here for ten days now, and we are already used to it.

i walk a lot, but phil just spends his time reading newspapers and writing business letters. sometimes we are going for a walk together.

last week i went to the nearest park. this is a wonderful very beautiful place. i saw a lot of squirrels, they were so noisy and begged for food all the time. i gave them all the peanuts that i had. there is also a small pond at the park with ducks and beautiful water lilies.

next week i’m going to start writing my new book, and it’s going to be very hard work. that is all for now.

give my regards to paul and the family. i look forward to hearing from you soon.

your loving sister,

ann

перевод письма:

дорогая джейн,

как дела? я просто пишу, чтобы ты знала, что все в порядке. это хорошее тихое место. люди дружелюбны и погода теплая. мы находимся здесь уже десять дней и мы уже привыкли к этому.

я много гуляю, но фил просто тратит свое время на чтение газет и написание деловых писем. иногда мы ходим на прогулку вместе.

на прошлой неделе я ходила в ближайший парк. это замечательное красивое место. я видела много белочек, они были настолько шумными и все время просил еду. я отдала им все орешки, которые у меня были. здесь в парке есть также небольшой пруд с утками и красивыми кувшинками.

на следующей неделе я собираюсь начать писать свою новую книгу, и это будет тяжелая работа. это все.

полу и семье. я с нетерпением жду весточки от вас в ближайшее время.

твоя любящая сестра,

анна
