THE GENERATION GAP IN MY FAMILY

The members of my family have a wide range of interests. My father and my brother Jack are two members of my family who are totally different.

My brother is artistic and creative while my father focuses on facts and technical details. One of the more humorous differences between them is their taste in music. My father enjoys listening to classical music, but my brother prefers EDM. Also, my brother bought many CDs to support his favorite band, and this made my father disappointed. My father told my mother that Jack shouldn’t have spent a lot of money on these useless things.

Another difference is that my brother is studying Visual Arts at university, but my dad was really angry when he found out about that. He said Jack should have studied business or marketing. My father said that learning arts couldn’t help my brother to earn money. They didn’t talk to each other for two years after my brother started his university studies.

However, we are a loving family now. My father has become more understanding, and he regretted not being a good father. He said that he should have listened and encouraged Jack to do what he liked. My brother also said sorry. He said that he should have respected our father’s opinions. It’s amazing because my father and my brother are best friends now.

Next week, we are going to Hawaii for our summer vacation, and I am really excited. We planned to take the trip in 2019, but it was canceled because my father and Jack did not talk to each other. However, everything is alright now, and I hope when something wrong happens in the future, our family can respect and listen to each other to find good solutions.

Bangkok is the capital city and a cultural and commercial center of Thailand. Situated on the Chao Phraya River’s delta, Bangkok is a busy city with many temples, factories, shops and homes alongside its streets and canals. It is also a popular tourist destination with numerous cultural attractions and vibrant nightlife. The name Bangkok, which foreigners commonly use, is derived from a name that existed before the city was built. Thais refer to their capital as Krung Thep, which is the first part of its eloquent and long official name. Krung Thep means ‘The City of Gods, the Great City, the Residence of the Emerald Buddha, the Impregnable City of God Indra, the Grand Capital of the World Endowed with Nine Precious Stones.’

Originally, Bangkok’s transportation system relied on its vast network of canals, which earned the city the nickname “Venice of the East.” As the number of vehicles grew, the demand for road space exceeded availability. To address this issue, many canals were filled to create extra roads, causing the city to lose its natural beauty. This change disrupted the waterway system’s capacity to drain the delta, leading to flooding in certain areas. Additionally, increasing traffic jams made travelling around the city more difficult. As a result, a bus transportation authority was formed in the 1970s and Skytrain - an elevated rail system - was opened in 1999 to tackle those problems.
