“I'll call you as soon as I arrive at the airport,” he said to me.

Mary left home to start an independent life. Then she realised how much her family meant to her.

Ever feel like your parents don't understand you at all? I know it sounds horribly stereotypical but you can't deny feeling misunderstood. This is common and it isn't just our teen-angst making us feel like we're in 'no man's land'. Parents really just don't appreciate us; it is as simple as that.

This lapse of understanding is mainly due to the rather large generation gap between us and our parents. Times have changed, but for some reason they often find it difficult to understand this. Back when they were growing up, things that we find socially acceptable today were considered horribly _inappropriate_. For example, guys and girls just hanging out is a lot more common than in the 60’s and 70’s. And don't even get me started on conduct at dances. Back then a guy politely asked a girl if she would like to dance. Now they just come up behind a girl, grab her and sweep her to the floor, and all this while the girl's wondering, “Do I know him? Is he attractive or what?” In the older days, girls wouldn't have to wildly signal to their friends to help them out of a dance.

So considering we are a much more desensitized and open generation, it is only fair that people _who_ grew up before us may have a hard time comprehending our actions. And, while I'm not trying to completely justify their intolerance, we do have to understand that it's just new to them. Try explaining what you are doing and remind them that times have changed; in the nicest way possible of course.

What could be the best title for the passage?

Both native English speakers and non-native speakers find the spelling of English one of its most difficult characteristics. The English spelling system is not based on a phonetic link between sounds and letters, as is the spelling of Spanish and certain other languages. Instead, English spelling is affected by the historical development of the language. Some words are pronounced in several different ways; similarly, different combinations of letters can produce the same pronunciation.

The six different pronunciations of ough provide an outstanding example of the differences between spelling and pronunciation, as in bough, cough, thorough, thought, through, and rough. The spellings come from a time when gh represented a sound that was pronounced. Another difference is the many different spellings of the sh sound, as for example in anxious, fission, fuchsia, and ocean.

The link between sound and spelling in English is not phonetically exact for two main reasons. First, spelling changes did not keep pace with changes in the sound system after the development of printing and of _conventions_ for spelling. For example, the k in knife and the gh in right come from the Middle English period (from about 1100 to about 1500), when they were pronounced as separate sounds. Second, there are some spelling conventions that are based on other languages. For example, during the 16^th century the ‘b’ was inserted into the word doubt (formerly spelled doute). This reflected the Latin word, dubitare, even though the 'b' was not pronounced in English.

There have been many attempts to reform English spelling. The author and playwright George Bernard Shaw proposed a completely new alphabet, but this had very limited success. American English has developed some of _its_ own spelling conventions, largely as a result of the work of spelling reformer Noah Webster. Webster attempted to remove some of the irregularities from the English spelling system and distance American English from British English. Nevertheless, the system as a whole remains particularly _complex_, and English is widely regarded as having the worst spelling of any language in the world.
