Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Young people today are less dependent on their parents than in the past. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
I will give my opinion only based on observation without any solid statistic or any sociological approach. I think indeed young people now are more independent from their parents than before.
The world itself is changing at a remarkable speed. This means it offers to us a tremendous number of options to find things to do and live on our own. One of the most noticeable situations is that much more people have started going for an adventure than several decades away. My girlfriend is from the United States. She is quite an amazing existence. When she was 22 years old, she alone came to Beijing and started her unique journey. Three years later, she achieved a fabulous outcome: she was employed by a very popular publishing house in China and assisted editing/translating several books which have been published with her name on their covers; she is working in one of the largest education groups in the world whose headquarter is located in Beijing. That has only been two and half years and she even has earned enough money to go back and forth between the US and China. On the street of Beijing, you will see millions of young people like her who never feel tied up with their parents but pursuing a way of life they have always dreamt of.
