题目：It is generally that acknowledge that families are not close as they used to be. Give reasons and recommendations.

Example:

Since the 1960s there has been some heated discussion on the family relationship. The issue that families are now not as close as they used be is a complex one. In my view, the final judgment will depend on a combination of two (three) essential aspects.

Compared with the past, great changes have taken place in the life style. As a result, the young people are more willing to live in their smaller family units rather than sharing the same apartment with the parents. It is natural that family members are not as closed as they used to be.

Additionally, the pattern of social production as a whole also undergoes certain dramatic transformation. So younger generation usually work under such a pressure that they seldom have enough time to stay with their parents.

Finally, the country has, for the past decades, witness an upsurge of scientific technology. So nowadays, a variety of modern technical devices are available. By and by, the young people find it more convenient to contact their parents through telephone or E-mails instead of staying with their parents.

In view of such social phenomenon, it is imperative to take some urgent steps. For one thing, young citizens are expected to enhance their awareness that a closed family is crucial for their parents. For another thing, the media, in coordination with government concerned, is obliged to take concrete measures to encourage the young people to spend more time with their family members. Only in this way can human beings have a harmonious family life.
