我的天

As everybody knows, generation gap exist, our home, our country and even the world. It comes to us so silently that we haven’t realized, however, it also left away without words, because we can solve it easily.

Still remember the day in senior three. I had no words with my mother, we didn’t have the same topic except my study and my mark. Because at that time, the study was not my pride, but my shame, so I wanted to escape, I refused to answer all that questions. As a result, at last, she just could asked, "What have you eaten today? ". Yet, I was too tired to that question, consequently, I shut my mouth solidly, and the bridge between us was cut down.

As the enter exam was over, I had a lot of time at home, surfing online I shared the happiness with her, despite she couldn’t understand most of my words, yet she tried her best to understand me. From that time, I opened a window to her again, and found the generation gap was recovered little by little.

As I enter the university, the life changed a lot. Sometimes I even found I was a child that I didn’t know anything and couldn’t consider something perfectly. I really need someone to lean on, and at the very time, she became my hero.

Because of my ignorance and my childish, she suffered a lot. Because of my carelessness, she had to come here again and again. Every time when she left, I would think what I had been satisfy, but I never noticed that she was 57 years old, and the roads leading to here were full of dust. The temperature was downing, the evening was coming and the people on the bus were more and more. I still had a comfortable dorm, however, she must face all the suffers. Because of me, she was willing to stand everything. And then, when she’s at home, she would think her only child day and night. Contrary, when she called me by telephone, I was so rude to her. Have such a great mother, why I never value her! Why I never think out a problem at her side?!

The generation gap was not made by our parents but us. We dig the gap , meanwhile, we can recover it as well. Use all our heart, feel at their angle, and we’ll know how to made it.

original essay: “代沟”能改变
(This passage is just translated from the origianal one, and for presentation.)

“代沟”（genenration gap）出现了不知多久，在世界上，在中国，在我家，就发生在我身上，它来也匆匆，我发觉不到它的出现，它离开也是那么的无声无色，它几乎已经离我而去。

我的无知，我的任性，我的脆弱，我的幼稚，使她承受了那许多。因为我的粗心，因为我的着急，她不得不来了学生公寓多少遍。每次她走的时候我只会想我的要求又被满足了多少，但却从来没想过她已经50多岁了，有慢性支气管炎，而路上的灰尘又那么多，天冷了，黑了，我还有热闹的宿舍，她却只能一个人去挤那傍晚的公交车，吸尽本来她不用吸的废气，回到家以后就对我日夜思念……当她打电话到宿舍的时候我又是对她有点“骂”的语气，这样的妈，为什么我以前就没珍惜过？我从来都是想我自己的感受，为什么我从来就没想过她的感受？我从来就没有试过站在她的角度上看问题，我不孝？

其实“代沟”不是长辈们的错，我们有想过我们自己的态度吗？也许“沟”不是他们挖的，而是我们自己亲手“掘”的。我们其实有能力把它填上。而用来填的物质就是我们的心，换位思考一下，你就知道该如何填补这个“沟”了。
