2. Essay:

It is widely acknowledged that quality family time is on the decline for many
households over the world in recent decades. This tendency is attributable to a number of
reasons, and it has several consequences on people's lives.
There are innumerable underlying reasons for this tendency, one of which is
workaholic. It is increasingly common for employees to be forced to work long hours,
over night, overwork and return home very late. Therefore, the absence of family time
seems inevitable. Moreover, the proliferation of technological devices such as computers
and tablets manipulates the behavior of adolescents. In this day and age, teenagers are too
addicted to these high-end gadgets to surf the web, play games and be isolated from their
families. For example, most young people prefer to spend time texting with their friends
rather than engaging in conversation with their parents.
I think this issue has a lot of impact on not only parents but children in general. On
the one hand, the absence of parental involvement can cause a number of psychological
illnesses for children such as mood swings, impaired sense of self, emotional distress,
violence and crime. For example, when parents spend more time at work and less time
with family, they unwittingly leave their children vulnerable to the harmful effects of bad
friends and the use of social media. media. On the other hand, letting your children use
too many electronic devices will make them more and more alienated from society,
especially they will suffer from health effects such as autism, depression, addiction to
social networks. society, lack of sleep, malnutrition, ... Later, family time together is less
and less unintentionally causing people to be further apart, which in the long run can lead
to divorce, conflicts between members in the family.
In conclusion, the hectic work schedule and the heavy use of modern devices are the
causes of the deterioration of family relationships. I believe this situation has many
undesirable effects on both the youth and the spouse.

It is widely acknowledged that quality family time is on the decline for many
households over the world in recent decades. This tendency is attributable to a number of
reasons and solutions to deal this problem.
There are innumerable underlying reasons for this tendency, one of which is a
workaholic. It is increasingly common for employees to be forced to work long hours,
overnight, overwork, and return home very late. Therefore, the absence of family time
seems inevitable. Moreover, the proliferation of technological devices such as computers,
and tablets manipulate the behavior of adolescents. In this day and age, teenagers are too
addicted to these high-end gadgets to surf the web, play games and be isolated from their
families. For example, youngest people prefer to spend time texting with their friends
rather than engaging in conversation with their parents.
Fortunately, several measures can be taken to solve this problem. The first solution
is basically to keep a work-life balance. Individuals should reasonably save time by
making a detailed plan to help them get the job done quickly and efficiently; as a result,
they will avoid spending too much time on one thing and have more time for family.
Moreover, parents should talk more openly with their children and regularly organize
family trips during vacations to promote family affection. The active care and help of
parents is an important factor to help strengthen the bond.
In conclusion, it is clear that work and technology are major causes contributing to
many individuals these days do not have sufficient time to devote to their family, and I
believe these solutions can be handle this problem.
