The phone woke Kim up. She was expecting (HER) mother to call but it wasn't her. The voice on the other end of the line sounded familiar but Kim (COULD NOT) remember who it belonged to. "Hello," the lady said. "Can I speak to Mrs. Len?" "I'm sorry but she's not at home. She's out. She (IS WALKING) in the park." It was very cold TO WALK out-of-doors and everything (WAS COVERED) in snow but Kim's mother walked in all weathers. She believed that it (HELPED) her keep fit and gave her extra energy. She actually looked younger than other (WOMEN) of her age and that was probably because of her walking. "Can I take a message?" Kim asked politely. "No. I (WILL CALL) her later. When is she going to be back?" "She normally (COMES) home at five." "Fine," came the answer and the phone went dead. Kim felt a bit hurt. "It's not polite to break off a conversation like that," she thought to herself. If I (WERE) older, I would explain to that lady how to talk to people politely."

A generation gap, when parents and children have different values, ideals and standards, is a common problem. The Youths don't want to listen to the older people, want to find their own way of living.
The other problem is friendship. A person can have lots of friends, but only one or two are true, but getting on with people can be very difficult.
The problem of love is a key problem, they you have to face.
