NEETThe problem of NEET, once well-known in the UK and Japan, has been brought into public attention now in China. NEET refers to the group of the young who are not currently engaged in education, employment or training. Most of these young people just stay at home or idle about, avoiding employment and relying on their parents.There are mainly two reasons for this phenomenon. For one thing, with the expansion of university enrollment, an increasing number of college graduates pour into job-hunting market every year. Unfortunately, some of them are not fully prepared and thus become unemployed the time they graduate. For another, some young people are badly spoilt as the only child of their family, so they psychologically and financially depend on their parents even when they are already grown-ups.To solve this problem, first, colleges should provide pre-job training courses for the young. Second, parents should cultivate their children the sense of independence. Last but not the least, college students should equip themselves with skills and knowledge so that they will become competitive when seeking jobs.。
啃老族英文介绍作文The older generation, also known as the "empty-nesters", are a group of people who have retired and are now livingon their savings and pensions. They are often seen as a burden on society, as they are no longer contributing tothe workforce and are heavily reliant on government support.Many young people believe that the older generation has had it easy, with stable jobs, affordable housing, and generous pensions. They see them as "living off" the hard work of the younger generation, who are struggling to find secure employment and affordable housing in an increasingly competitive and expensive world.On the other hand, some argue that the older generation has worked hard all their lives and deserve to enjoy their retirement without being judged or criticized. They have contributed to society in their own way and should not be blamed for the challenges faced by the younger generation.There is also the belief that the older generation has valuable wisdom and experience to offer, and that they should be respected and valued for their contributions to society. They have lived through times of war, economic depression, and social change, and have a lot to teach the younger generation about resilience, perseverance, and adaptability.In conclusion, the issue of the "empty-nesters" or the "啃老族" is a complex and contentious one. It is important to recognize the contributions and challenges of the older generation, while also addressing the needs and concerns of the younger generation. Both groups have their own struggles and perspectives, and it is essential to find a balance and mutual understanding between the two.。
啃老族英语作文(通用)The boomerang generationThe boomerang generation, it is not a fresh vocabulary, but on the phenomenon is increasingly fierce.

Therefore, I hope they can go out the condition to find their living .。
以啃老现象为话题写一篇英语作文English: The phenomenon of "kanglao", or adult children who rely on their parents financially well into their adulthood, is becoming increasingly prevalent in many societies. There are several reasons contributing to this trend, including high living costs, difficulty in securing stable employment, and the psychological impact of a "failure to launch" mindset. While it is understandable that parents want to support their children, this prolonged dependency can have negative effects on both the children and the parents. For the children, it can lead to a lack of independence, self-reliance, and motivation to work towards their own financial stability. It can also create strained relationships and resentment between the children and their parents. For the parents, it can impede their own retirement plans and financial security, as well as hinder their children's personal growth and development. Addressing this issue involves a combination of changing societal attitudes towards success and independence, providing more opportunities for stable employment, and teaching children financial literacy and responsibility from a young age.中文翻译: “啃老”现象,即成年子女在经济上长期依赖父母,已经变得在许多社会中日益普遍。
The Phenomenon of "Neeters" in ModernSocietyIn modern society, a troubling trend has emerged, labeled as "neeters" - young individuals who rely heavily on their parents for financial and emotional support, often to the extent of delaying or foregoing personal and professional growth. This phenomenon, often referred to as "keng lao" in Chinese culture, reflects a complex interplay between societal pressures, personal choices, and familial expectations.The rise of neeters can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the escalating costs of living and education have made it increasingly difficult for young people to achieve financial independence. With rising tuition fees and the high cost of living in urban areas, many young adults find themselves unable to afford the basic necessities without assistance from their parents.Secondly, the job market has become increasingly competitive, with fewer job opportunities and higher entry requirements. This has led to a situation where many younggraduates are unable to find suitable employment, further delaying their transition into adulthood.Moreover, societal norms and expectations often play a role in perpetuating this trend. In some cultures, there is a strong emphasis on filial piety and the expectation that children will support their parents in their old age. This can lead to a situation where young people feel obligatedto rely on their parents, rather than seeking independence. However, the reliance of young people on their parents can have negative consequences. It can stunt personalgrowth and development, leading to a lack of self-sufficiency and a dependency mindset. It can also strain familial relationships, as parents may feel burdened by the financial and emotional demands of their adult children.To address this issue, it is important for society to create a more supportive environment for young people. This includes providing affordable education and housing options, as well as promoting job creation and entrepreneurship. Additionally, families need to have open and honest discussions about expectations and responsibilities,encouraging young people to take ownership of their lives and seek independence.Individuals also play a crucial role in overcoming this trend. Young people should strive to develop a sense ofself-reliance and take active steps to achieve financialand emotional independence. This may involve seeking employment, furthering education, or exploring otheroptions for personal growth and fulfillment.In conclusion, the phenomenon of neeters highlights the challenges faced by young people in modern society. While societal and familial factors contribute to this trend, itis ultimately the responsibility of each individual to take charge of their lives and seek independence. By creating a supportive environment and encouraging personal growth, we can help young people overcome this challenge and achieve a more fulfilling and independent life.**现代社会中的“啃老族”现象**在现代社会中,出现了一个令人担忧的趋势,即所谓的“啃老族”——这些年轻人严重依赖父母提供经济和情感支持,往往延迟或放弃个人和职业成长。
原创大学英语短文:《当代啃老族启示录》第一篇:原创大学英语短文:《当代啃老族启示录》Apocalypse Group PhenomenonNEET is a word which was first used in Great Britain.It means “Not in Education, Employment or Training”.Nowadays,more and more young people from different areas of the world join in this group.They have already been able to make money to themselves, But still rely on their parents to make a living.The reason of this phenomenon is in morden society the social press of the young people is become more and more heavier.Some young people did not study well in their childhood,so they can not findcomfortable jobs when they grew older.But many of these young people were well educated,they still can not find jobs because their social practice are too weak.I think the NEET in our society is a very bad phenomenon.We must practice ourselves especially in practical ability when we were very very young so that we can find our jobs in the future.第二篇:大学英语__英语——短文What kinds of employees are likely to be fired?If employees do not observe company or department rules, they are likely to be fired.Any boss will be angry if employees are late for work or use the company phone to talk with friends.A boss dislikes people who do not work hard, gossip a lot or read the newspaper over a cup of tea for hours.Even if one works hard, the boss may not be satisfied if one does not work with high efficiency.After all, company profits come from employee achievements.Even though you've made significant personal contributions to the company, if you do not get along well withyour colleagues, you may impede the company's productivity.After all, most jobs require teamwork ually the boss places a high value on employee loyalty.Disloyal employees may sell the company's secrets and ruin it overnight.When the company is in financial difficulty and downsizing, the first to be dismissed will be those who have some of the above-mentioned problems.What kinds of people are better prepared for a layoff?In contemporary society job changes are inevitable.Few people will stay in the same company all their lives.So, from time to time people should look for signs that layoffs are coming.For example, fewer customer orders, layoffs in similar companies, and an economic recession are warnings.In addition to noticing bad omens like the above, people should study the kinds of skills or technologies that are in great demand.If one industry is on the decline, they should equip themselves with knowledge and skills in other industries.When adequately prepared, they will not panic if they receive a dismissal notice.They can go to a different job or even a different career without too much difficulty.After finishing undergraduate studies, would you like to find a job or pursue a postgraduate degree? Why?Some students prefer to look for a favorable job, through which they can gain useful experience that they cannot get from books.When they move on to a higher level job one day, then, they will already have experience in that field.At work, they can give full play to their practical abilities, and may be promoted to department manager by the time their classmates complete their Master's degree programs.On the other hand, some students are not eager to take up a job and prefer to continue to study towards a Master's degree or even a PhD.And we all know,knowledge is power.Although not everything you learn will be directly applicable at work, knowledge does improve your character overall.In the long run, those who acquire more knowledge will benefit from it.If a company doesn't perform well in a certain field, for example, software development, should it outsource or train its own employees to do it?Some companies prefer to outsource the production they are not good at.Against the background of globalization, the division of work is accelerating.Often you can find a more specialized or more professional company that can do the same work with better quality at a lower rate.But outsourcing inevitably brings about problems.It is not always easy to lay off the employees, especially if they have served the company for a long time.They may ask for dismissal benefits that are too high for the organization to bear.So, perhaps the company can provide their workers with training to improve their production skills.If the workers feel grateful, they will work harder for the company's prosperity.Describe some superstitions in English-speaking countries.English-speaking nations have a number of superstitions.For example, many people believe 13 to be an unlucky number, and do not want to live on the 13th floor or in Room 13.They say “knock on wood” or “touch wood” to avoid bad luck.T o wish somebody good luck, they may say “I'll cross my fingers for you.” Superstitious people avoi d walking under a ladder or opening an umbrella in doors.When they see a black cat run across their path, they think it's a bad omen.Some people may hang a horseshoe over their door to ward off bad luck.If they happen to drop a mirror, they worry that they will have seven years' bad luck.To ensure good luck, they may carry a charm of some kind, such as a lucky rabbit's foot!What is the relationship between one's attitude to life and one's fate? Does the former determine the latter or is it the other way round?Since the world is complex and mysterious, it is not easy to arrive at a definite conclusion.Some scholars, including a British psychologist, suggest that there exists a correlation between one's attitude to life and one's fate.But more research is needed before we can be sure of such a correlation.Moreover, the cause-and-effect relationship has not been clearly identified, and we are uncertain which causes which.In real life we can find counter examples: Some optimistic people are not very lucky, while some pessimistic people are quite lucky.Perhaps we should try to find out which case is more frequent: optimistic people with good luck or optimistic people with bad luck.Judging from my personal observations, the former is more common.I can even supply the reason: Optimistic people have more self-confidence, which facilitates their success in life.A survey involving many people is required to discover what most people think about this issue.In an enterprise or institution, is it necessary to clearly describe each employee's duties? Explain.Generally speaking, it is necessary.Employees' job should be clearly defined.With a detailed job description, a worker will have a definite aim and high motivation to work toward that aim.They know how they will be rewarded and punished.Accurate job descriptions can do much to prevent unnecessary duplication and conflict among workers.If everyone in a company works as an organized team, the company is likely to grow and prosper.However, some potential problems are worth noting.If a job description is too detailed, some staff members will turn a blind eye to anything that falls outside their scope of responsibilities even if it isimportant to the company as a whole.Nor should job descriptions stand in the way of cooperation among employees.If those problems can be overcome, job descriptions will play a significant role in the company's progress.When a boss employs or promotes people, what may be his or her chief consideration: their education or their practical ability?In fact, most bosses will consider both, though they may probably attach more importance to the candidate's ability.After all, a company's profits come directly from the abilities of the entire staff.Many of the qualities of a good worker such as diligence, teamwork, loyalty to the company, and courtesy to customers are gained through on-the-job training rather than from book knowledge.However, one's educational background is not unimportant.If one can enroll in a distinguished university and attain a high GPA, it is likely that one already possesses good qualities like industriousness, intelligence, organizational ability, and a strong will--qualities thatare equally useful in the workplace.But it's also possible that some students from the academic ivory tower are merely bookworms without much capacity for practical work.A boss is unlikely to promote such an employee.Some bosses employ and promote only relatives or those who come from their hometown.Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this hiring practice.Hiring people he is familiar with does offer the boss advantages.Those people are usually willing to work hard and are loyal to the boss, who often entrusts them with such important responsibilities as being a financial manager or human resources manager.However, the disadvantages inherent in a family business outweigh the advantages.To begin with, it is not always easy to find a relative who can take up a highly technicalposition such as software development engineer or an in-house lawyer.Perhaps none of the boss's relatives is even a competent electrician.Then, too, there are problems if the boss's sister-in-law is chief financial officer.A top-notch accounting graduate will quickly realize her chances of promotion are slim and will work for another company.Worse still, if relatives turn against the boss, they may be able to deal him a deadly blow since they often know many company secrets.Should managers be strict with or kind to their employees?Generally speaking, managers should be strict with their employees;otherwise they may find it difficult to keep good discipline in the workplace.For example, some employees may come in late and leave early.They may call in sick without good reason.Even when they are in the office, they may idle the day away chatting with each other.However, a manager should show concern for his or her subordinates when they do have difficulties like an acute illness or other unexpected problems.If employees feel sincerely appreciated, they tend to work harder.Generally speaking, managers should be strict with their employees;otherwise they may find it difficult to keep good discipline in the workplace.For example, some employees may come in late and leave early.They may call in sick without good reason.Even when they are in the office, they may idle the day away chatting with each other.However, a manager should show concern for his or her subordinates when they do have difficulties like an acute illness or other unexpected problems.If employees feel sincerely appreciated, they tend to work harder.Do you believe there are extraterrestrial beings in outer space?It is difficult to come to a definite conclusion on this issue.On the one hand, many people claim to have seen a UFO, and someeven assert that they were abducted by aliens in their spaceships.Theoretically, it is difficult to prove that in the vast universe people on Earth are of the most advanced civilization and have the most advanced technology.If we cannot see ETs, it may be because they are far more advanced than we are.Similarly, if primitive people cannot detect radio waves, it does not mean more advanced civilizations do not exist.On the other hand, human beings have not collected solid evidence to prove the existence of ETs.Although some people claim to have witnessed a UFO, it could be a visual mistake.A mirage is a case in point.When somebody claims to have seen a ghost, do you believe it? In my opinion, while mankind should continue to explore mysteries in the universe, they had better direct most of their time and energy toward pursuits that are more relevant to their present livesDo you think success is due more to luck and opportunity or to diligence and perseverance? Why?Sometimes a lucky person achieves great success without making the corresponding efforts, while a person who has worked diligently on and on fails to accomplish anything.But on the whole, I am inclined to believe that success is more closely related to diligence than to luck.It is true that in gambling, card-playing and some other games, luck plays a large role.But in most fields of endeavor, one has to study and work hard before one has a chance of success.For example, all scientists, engineers, teachers, musicians and athletes must receive years of rigorous training before they can do their work properly and stand out from the rest.Without hard work, they have almost no hope of success at all.After all, opportunity favors those who are well at least ten recreational activities, includingthose requiring a lot of physical exertion and those that are more relaxing.Some forms of recreation require a high level of physical activity.Here are some examples: football, basketball, badminton, tennis, and table tennis.Some people like climbing mountains, going bodysurfing, or going rafting.After those strenuous outings, they feel mentally relaxed.On the other hand, some people prefer more sedentary(久坐的)activities.Instead of playing a ball game, they watch it.They go to a cinema, a theater, an opera house or a concert hall, or they simply sit at home watching TV.Some play various kinds of games on the computer, and others play chess or cards.Even when they want to stay outdoors, they may choose peaceful pastimes like fishing第三篇:英语作文——啃老族5啃老、自力更生、奋斗It goes without saying that this picture aims at revealing a current social problem : the number of parents-dependants is growing.In the picture, the ageing parents, sweating all over, are still serving as the ATM(Automatic Teller Machine)for their grown-up son who, however, is taking all this for granted.It is now increasingly common for the young to depend on their parents because they are unable to support themselves even though they have grown up.Numerous factors have contributed to this phenomenon.On the one hand, the young generation has been too spoiled by their parents to be strong enough to confront the difficulties and hardships.On the other hand, more and more parents, afraid that their beloved children may be frustrated by the pressure and strain from the competitive world, are more than willing to exert all their energies to help them.In addition, the modern world is becoming far more competitive than people could bear.It is obvious that the young generation should beindependent of their parents who have already made painstaking effective measure must be taken to avoid this trend.First of all, a positive mental guidance must be popularized among young people to enhance their awareness of striving for a better life all by themselves and of relieving their parents of the heavy burden.Secondly , an educational campaign must be launched to help the young to be self-dependent and get away from too much stress.第四篇:大学英语四级短文听力大学英语四级短文听力:提问方式及解题对策短文听力的提问方式最常见的有4种类型。
关于啃老族的英语作文Title: On the Issue of "Kanglaozu" (啃老族) in China。
In recent years, the issue of "Kanglaozu" (啃老族) has become a hot topic in China. "Kanglaozu" refers to thegroup of young adults who still rely on their parents for financial support and refuse to take responsibility fortheir own lives. This phenomenon has sparked heated debate among the public, with some criticizing "Kanglaozu" for being lazy and irresponsible, while others argue that the high cost of living and limited job opportunities are to blame.On the one hand, it is understandable that some young adults are struggling to make ends meet in today's society. The cost of living in many cities has skyrocketed, while salaries have not kept up with the pace. In addition, thejob market is highly competitive, and many young people are unable to find stable employment. Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that some choose to rely on theirparents for support.However, this does not justify the behavior of those who refuse to take responsibility for their own lives. "Kanglaozu" has become a derogatory term because it implies a lack of ambition and a sense of entitlement. Many young adults who fall into this category are not actively seeking employment or trying to improve their situation. Instead, they are content to live off their parents and avoid the challenges of the real world.Furthermore, the issue of "Kanglaozu" has broadersocial implications. China is facing a rapidly aging population, with a shrinking workforce and a growing number of retirees. If young adults continue to rely on their parents for support, this will put an even greater burden on the already strained social welfare system. Moreover, it will undermine the values of independence and self-reliance that are essential for a healthy society.To address this issue, both individuals and society as a whole need to take action. Young adults should beencouraged to take responsibility for their own lives, to seek out employment opportunities, and to develop theskills and knowledge needed to succeed in today's society. At the same time, the government should work to create a more favorable environment for job creation and entrepreneurship, while also providing support for those who are struggling to make ends meet.In conclusion, the issue of "Kanglaozu" is a complex and multifaceted one. While it is understandable that some young adults are struggling in today's society, it is important to recognize that relying on one's parents for support is not a sustainable solution. Instead, we need to work together to create a society that values independence, self-reliance, and hard work. Only then can we ensure a better future for ourselves and for future generations.。

The pressure to succeed in a highly competitive environment, coupled with rising living costs, has contributed to the persistence of this trend. While some argue that 啃老族 is a result of economic challenges and lack of opportunities, others believe it reflects a lack of independence and responsibility. It is important for the government and society to address the root causes of this issue, such as providing more job opportunities and financial assistance for young adults, while also promoting a culture of self-reliance and individual responsibility.中文翻译:“啃老族”这一现象指的是成年人在成年后仍然依赖父母提供经济支持,已经成为当代中国社会的一个争议性话题。
有关于啃老族的英语作文120词全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1My Grandma is a "Kun Lao Zu"My grandma lives with us, and she's what my dad calls a "kun lao zu." That's a Chinese phrase that means she's part of the older generation who depends on their children for everything. I didn't really understand what that meant until recently.Grandma is 75 years old and can't do much for herself anymore. She can't cook, clean, or take care of herself very well. So my mom has to do everything for her - make her meals, help her bathe, do her laundry, and so on. Sometimes Grandma leaves a big mess, spilling food or drinks, and my mom has to clean it up. It's a lot of extra work for her.My dad doesn't really like having Grandma live with us. He says she's a burden and costs our family a lot of money for her medical care, special foods she needs, and other expenses. Dad works really hard at his job, but part of his income goes towards supporting Grandma. He grumbles about it sometimes.I feel bad that Grandma needs so much help. She seems confused a lot of the time and doesn't remember things well. She can't really play with me or my little brother anymore either. We have to be very quiet when she's napping during the day.On the other hand, I know Grandma loves being around us. She smiles and seems happier when we visit her room to say hello. She tells us old stories from when she was young, about growing up during harder times. I can see how important family is to her.My parents disagree about whether we should put Grandma in a nursing home sometimes. Dad thinks it would be better - less work for Mom and no distractions at home. But Mom gets upset at that idea. She says it's our duty as good children to care for our elders at home as long as possible. It's part of our Chinese culture and values.Personally, I'm kind of torn. I know how much work it is for Mom to take care of Grandma every day. But I also love having my grandma around, even if she can't really play or interact much anymore. She's still family.I guess when I get older and have my own kids one day, I'll need to decide if I want to be a "kun lao zu" too. It's a hard choice - depend on your children when you're old or try to stayindependent as long as possible? I'm not sure what I'll want to do yet. But I'll always be grateful to my parents for taking care of Grandma now. It's not easy, but it is important.篇2Being a Kid in the "Niker" GenerationMy parents always tell me how lucky I am to be a kid these days. They say back when they were young, families didn't have as much money and kids had to work and help out a lot more around the house. Now kids like me can just focus on playing, having fun, and doing well in school without too many grown-up responsibilities. But there's one thing my parents definitely don't like about kids today - we're growing up in the age of the "nikers"!What's a niker? Well, it's a funny word my dad made up. It refers to grown-up kids who never really grow up and move out of their parents' house. Instead, they just keep living at home and relying on their parents to pay for everything - food, rent, bills, you name it. My uncle Jack is actually a total niker. He's 35 years old and has been living at home rent-free since he graduated college over 10 years ago!Mom and Dad can't stand nikers. They think it's incredibly rude, lazy, and selfish for able-bodied adults to just mooch off their parents like that instead of getting a job and supporting themselves. They're always ranting about how back in their day, you became an adult at 18 and that was it - you either went to college and got student loans or you got a full-time job and moved out. No one stuck around lecturing their parents!I do kind of feel bad for Uncle Jack sometimes though. The economy was really rough when he graduated and he had a tough time finding a good job. Then he got stuck in a cycle of crummy jobs, getting fired, and moving back home with Mom and Dad. Now he's in his mid-30s and has been a niker for over a decade. It's got to be embarrassing at this point.Still, I know Mom and Dad are right. Being a niker isn't a good look, no matter what your excuse is. Taking responsibility for your own life is a huge part of becoming a grown-up. I may be just a kid, but I already know that constant free handouts and doing zero work is a terrible habit that can make you lazy and unmotivated. I definitely don't want to end up like uncle Jack!My parents both worked really hard to get out of their parents' houses and make their own way in life. Dad had three jobs at certain points just to get by. Mom waited tables at nightswhile going to university during the day. They want me to have a much easier childhood than they did, but they're also determined to raise me to be a responsible, hard-working adult who is financially independent."No niker kids allowed in this household!" Dad likes to joke. I just laugh because I know he's only half-kidding. He totally means it!I'm really grateful to have parents who push me to have goals and become a self-sufficient grown-up one day. Even though it's fun being a carefree kid now, I actually can't wait to eventually get a job, make my own money, and move out into my own place when I'm older. It's going to feel so rewarding and grown-up!I feel kind of bad for all the nikers out there who never get to experience that sense of accomplishment and independence. Sure, living at home means you don't have rent or bills to pay. But isn't that pretty boring and lame? You're just stuck in a permanent childhood instead of getting to explore the world, make your own choices, and pave your own path through life. To me, that sounds way sadder than having to pay rent or electricity!Maybe I'm just a weird kid who daydreams about being a grown-up way too much. But to me, that's the best part of getting older - no more rules, curfews or chores given to you by your parents. You get to be 100% in charge of your own life. What an exciting feeling!Whenever I'm having a rough day at school and wish I could just come home, plop on the couch, and play videogames all night, I remember uncle Jack and it snaps me out of it. I don't want to become a niker! I want to be a grown-up who works hard, makes their own money, and gets to run their own life and household. It's going to be awesome.So no, you won't find me joining the niker club anytime soon! Growing up eventually is one of the things I'm most excited about. I'm going to embrace it with open arms - harder classes, jobs, responsibilities and all. After seeing how unmotivated and aimless nikers can become by avoiding real life, becoming a responsible adult is my number one goal. Just call me theanti-niker kid!篇3The Ant Tribe and Their StruggleWhen I was little, I thought all grown-ups were strong and independent. They had jobs, paid bills, and lived in their own homes. But as I got older, I realized that's not always the case. There's a group of adults called the "Ant Tribe" who still live with their parents, even after graduating from college.At first, I didn't understand why someone wouldn't want to move out and be on their own. Isn't that what growing up is all about? But then I learned about the challenges they face. Finding a good job is really hard these days, especially for young people just starting out. And even if you do find a job, the salaries are often too low to afford rent in the big cities where most opportunities are.Imagine studying really hard for four years, getting your degree, and then not being able to find a decent job or a place to live. It must be so frustrating and disappointing. A lot of the Ant Tribe members end up taking low-paying, unstable jobs just to get some income. Others stay at home, living off their parents and looking for that perfect opportunity.I've heard some people criticize the Ant Tribe, calling them lazy or saying they just want everything handed to them. But I don't think that's fair at all. From what I've learned, most of them work really hard and dream of being independent someday.They're not choosing this situation – it's just the tough reality they're facing in today's competitive job market and expensive housing situation.Living at home with your parents as an adult definitely isn't easy. There's a lot of stress from feeling like you're not really grown up yet. And there can be conflicts over things like chores, curfews, and personal space. The Ant Tribe members have to find ways to maintain their independence and dignity while still following their parents' rules.I really admire the Ant Tribe for persevering through such a difficult phase of life. It takes a lot of patience, resilience, and determination to keep pushing forward when the odds seem stacked against you. I hope that as our economy improves and more jobs become available, they'll finally be able to spread their wings and build the independent lives they deserve.In the meantime, we should have more empathy and less judgment for the Ant Tribe. Getting an education and establishing a career is harder than it used to be. If my parents were in that situation when they were young, I'd want them to have a supportive place to stay while working towards their dreams. Maybe if we're more understanding, the Ant Tribe canavoid feeling like failures and eventually emerge as successful members of society.篇4Being A Parasite Single Is BadSome grown-ups don't want to get jobs or live on their own. They stay at home with their parents and let their parents take care of them. These people are called "parasite singles."I think parasite singles are lazy and selfish. They make their parents work hard and spend a lot of money to support them. It's not fair to the parents. The parasite singles should move out, find jobs, and take care of themselves.Parents raised their kids already. When the kids grow up, they need to be independent adults. Parasite singles act like little babies who can't do anything without mommy and daddy's help. That's embarrassing for an adult!Parents shouldn't allow their kids to be parasite singles. It teaches the kids bad habits. The kids won't learn how to be responsible. Instead, parents should encourage their kids to work hard and be self-sufficient. That's the right way to live.篇5Being a Kid Is the Best! My Parents Take Care of EverythingHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. I love being a kid because my parents take such good care of me. They give me a warm home, yummy food, fun toys, and basically everything I need. Why would anyone ever want to grow up?Some of the older kids at school were talking about these weird grown-ups called "parasitic singles." I had to ask my teacher what that meant. She said it refers to adults who still live with their parents and don't have jobs or pay any bills. Instead, they just mooch off their moms and dads for food, housing, money...everything!That sounds totally crazy to me. Aren't grown-ups supposed to get jobs, pay rent, buy their own groceries, and do all the responsible stuff? My dad always says the greatest gift they can give me is to teach me how to be independent and take care of myself when I'm older. He wants me to get a good education, work hard, and eventually be able to survive on my own two feet.I can't imagine still having my parents do absolutely everything for me when I'm already a big kid, let alone afull-grown adult! Don't parasitic singles feel ashamed or embarrassed? What if their friends found out and teased them about it? I'd be so red in the face!Plus, it doesn't seem fair to my parents at all. They work really hard at their jobs to give me and my little brother a nice life. If we were parasitic singles too, always bumming around and never leaving the house, can you imagine how stressed out they'd be? Having to feed, clothe, and pay for able-bodied adults on top of taking care of us kids? No way, Jose!Maybe some parasitic singles have disabilities or problems that make it hard to live independently. I could understand needing extra help in tough situations like that. But from whatI've heard, a lot of them are just lazy bums who don't feel like getting real jobs and responsibilites. Seems pretty selfish and immature if you ask me.I feel bad for the parents who have to support their adult kids like that. Didn't they want their children to grow up, move out, and have their own awesome lives? That's what my parents say they dreamed about when I was a baby - seeing me and my brother become confident, capable adults out there exploring the world. If we never did that, I bet they'd be so disappointed.When I think about my future, I picture myself having an epic job. Maybe I'll be a basketball star, race car driver, video game designer, or Lego engineer! Or maybe I'll be a firefighter like my uncle and help rescue people from burning buildings. Whatever Ido, you can bet I'll be earning my own money and paying my own way.Living off my parents as a grownup? No thank you! That's just weird and wrong. I want to make them proud and give them grandkids to spoil one day, not mooch off them into my 30s and 40s. Ew, can you imagine being that old and still having your mom cut your crusts off your PB&J?So you can call me immature, but I'm perfectly happy being a kid who gets taken care of right now. Because very soon, I'll be a self-reliant adult making my own way in the world. My parents deserve that much after all their hard work raising me. It's the least I can do to repay them!篇6Freeloaders: A Big Problem That Needs to Be FixedHi, my name is Tommy and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to talk about a really big issue in our society - freeloaders! You might be wondering, what is a freeloader? Well, a freeloader is someone who lives off other people and doesn't want to work or make their own money. They just mooch off their families and take advantage of them.I see a lot of freeloaders around my neighborhood. There are grown men, some even in their 30s or 40s, who still live at home with their parents. They don't have jobs and they expect their parents to pay for everything - their food, rent, video games, you name it! Their poor parents work really hard at their jobs to support these lazy freeloaders.It's not fair at all to the parents. They raised their kids, paid for their education, and now their kid is just bumming around refusing to get a job? That's so messed up! The parents should be able to retire and relax, not work until they're 80 to support their freeloader son.I know some freeloaders make excuses like "Oh there aren't any good jobs" or "The economy is bad." Yeah, well, my dad works hard at his job that isn't perfect. My mom has a small business that struggles sometimes. They don't make excuses, they just work! Freeloaders are just lazy bums who don't want to put in any effort.Another excuse freeloaders use is "My parents OWE me for raising me." Um, no they don't! Your parents chose to have you, and they worked hard to give you a good life. You don't automatically deserved to be supported forever just for being born. Once you're a grown adult, you need to support yourself.Only very rare cases like severe disabilities might require a kid to stay on parents' support.Freeloaders are bad for the whole community too. Instead of contributing with jobs and taxes, they just take and take from their families and society. They're leeches. If everyone was a freeloader, the whole world would collapse!I really dislike freeloaders and think there should be laws or something to prevent this selfish behavior. Like, after you're 25 years old, your parents shouldn't be legally allowed to support you unless you have a real disability. Or, there could be higher taxes on families who are supporting freeloaders over a certain age.Either way, something needs to change. Freeloaders need to get off their butts, stop mooching, and start working hard like the rest of us! It's hurting families, hurting communities, and hurting the entire economy. Freeloaders are such a drain on society.I know I'm just a 10-year-old kid, but I can already see how wrong and messed up freeloading is. As I get older, I'm going to work as hard as I can so I never become a freeloader. I want to make my own money, be independent, and not be a burden on anyone else. Isn't that what we all should strive for?If you're a freeloader reading this, it's time to change! Get a job, move out, and start paying your own way. And if you have friends or family who are freeloaders, share this essay with them. Hopefully it will open their eyes to how selfish and harmful they are being. We can beat this freeloading problem, but it will take effort from all of us!。
啃老族现象的英语作文英文回答:The phenomenon of freeloading has become increasingly prevalent in recent years, particularly among young adults. This issue, commonly referred to as "啃老族" in Chinese,has drawn considerable attention and sparked debates about its causes and potential consequences.Freeloading refers to a situation where an adult individual, typically in their late teens or early twenties, continues to rely financially on their parents or guardians. These individuals may live at home with their parents, receiving free board and lodging, while pursuing higher education or seeking employment. The term "啃老族" captures the notion of these individuals "啃老" or "eating away" at their parents' resources without contributing significantly to the household.There is no consensus on the exact causes offreeloading. Some experts attribute it to economic factors, such as the rising cost of living and the challenge of securing well-paying jobs for young adults. Others suggest that social and cultural factors, such as the changingfamily structure and the emphasis on educational attainment, contribute to this phenomenon.The consequences of freeloading can be far-reaching.For individuals, it can lead to a sense of dependency, stunted emotional development, and difficulty inestablishing their own independence.

如何用英语表达“啃老族”
“啃老族”是当今紧张而忙碌生活的产物。
有这样一个句子:这个啃老
族已经30岁了,但仍然依靠他的父母生活。
有人是这样翻译的:
This Neet is already 30 years old but still lives on his parents。
其实严格地说,live on后面要跟sth,不跟sb;而live off后面可以跟
sb或sth,意思分别是“靠什么人养活”和“靠什么活着”,目前还没有“live on sb”的搭配。
例如:They live on a diet of bread and cheese。
(他们靠吃面包和奶酪活着。
)This unemployed worker lives on unemployment benefit。
(这个失业工人靠失业救济金为生。
)
“啃老族”指既没有上学也没有就业或接受职业技能培训但必须依靠父母
养活的青年人。
在英国英语中,“NEET”指啃老族的一员,“NEET group”
指啃老族群体。
“NEET”是“Not Currently Engaged in Education, Employment or Training ”或“Not in Education, Employment or Training”的缩略语。
美国英语则称之为“boomerang child/kid”。
Boomerang原指澳大利亚土着居民的飞镖。
例如:An investigation indicates that about 70% of the unemployed young people in our country now live off their parents, thus becoming Neets。
(调查显示,我国目前约七成失业青年靠父母养活,因而成为啃老族。
)
In Japan, more and more young people have joined in the Neet
group who neither go to college nor go to work。
(越来越多的日本青年加入到既不上学又不工作的啃老族。
)
The boomerang child phenomenon has become a social problem on a nationwide scale。
(啃老族现象已成为全国性的社会问题。
)
如果把“啃老族”翻译为adult dependent child是不妥的。
“adult dependent child”的意思是“有心理缺陷或生理缺陷的需要抚养的成年子女”,比“啃老族”含义要宽泛。
