1,. What do you think are the most important things for a happy family life?2. Do you think you will get married one day? If yes, at what age?

3. Do you think you would like to be a parent one day? If yes, how many children would youlike to have?

' : the following passage carefully.The family cycle begins when a man and a woman

get married. Marriage is often considered to be the mostimportant event of a person's life. The bride and groomform a new family leaving behind the lives that they hadwhen they were single. The new husband and wife settleinto a new home and begin a new life together.

For many people, the birth of the first child bringhappiness to a new family. The husband and wife haveto adjust to their new roles as parents. If the familyhas a second child, the eldest child can sometimes feeljealous of the new baby. If this happens, parents musthelp the first child to adjust to the birth of the newestmember of the family.

For some women, the birth of children means thatthey have to put their careers on hold while the childrenare very young. Then, when the children are older they

are able toreturn towork. Inthe past, a woman's role was often to stay at homeand take care of the children and the housework.Now, many women have their own careers outsidethe home. These women often have to juggle theirtime between their jobs and their housework.Some women have maids to help them with theirdomestic work.

Parents have responsibility for helping theirchildren to develop good social and moral values inan environment of affection, discipline and security.Many parents help to develop their children'scharacters by giving them household chores to do.

This could include things such as keeping their

rooms clean and tidy, or washing the dishes. As children grow up,

their parents care about their education and hope that they will be

able to have good careers. For this reasory many parents hope that

their children will be successful at school and then go on to study

at a college or university. Parents often encourage their children to

study hard, so that they can get jobs with good career prospects.

Throughout the world the basic social group in all societies is the family. There are a numberof different types of family groups that can be found in different parts of the world. For manycenturies the main type of family group has been a man and a woman who are married, livingwith their children. This is often called the 'nuclear family'. Sometimes there are 'extended family'groups where grandparents and also aunts and uncles live with the main group. There are also

'one-parent families' where a mothel, or a fathel, lives alone with their children. In some culturesa man may have more than one wife. This is called'polygamy'.

Paul had always been a little bit jealous of the attention that his sister Debbie got from theirparents. After the music competition his feelings of jealousy started to get worse. You see, after the

competition, Peter and Lindsay started to pay much more attention to Debbie's singing. They even

arranged for her to have singing lessons at a local music school.

At the end of term, the music school held an informal concert in the local shopping centre. This was

so that the school could celebrate the success of its students. It was also to draw people's attention tothe work that the school did. Peter and Lindsay went to the concert. They dragged Paul along to it as

well. He really wasn't amused about this, but he tried to put on a brave face and at least appear to be

interested.

'Hey look! There's Debbie,' said Paul as the music school students walked up onto the stage.

'Oh yes. Doesn't she look good!' replied mum.'She certainly does!' added dad as the music began.

'Listery' said mum. 'Isn't this the song that Debbie's been practising for the last few weeks?''Yes, I think it is,' replied dad.

Just as Peter said this, a beautiful solo voice could be heard from the middle of the choir. Mum realised

straight away whose voice it was.

'Listen to that!' she said. It's our Debbie. Isn't she a lovely singer!'But before dad could reply, there was a loud noise as someone switched on the shopping centre'sloudspeaker system.

'Attention please!' said the announcer. 'Will the owner of the gold Rolls Royce please return to the car

park. Your car is blocking the entrance to the store room.'

'Oh dear,' said Paul as the loudspeaker system was switched off. 'Debbie's solo has finished now.

What a pity we couldn't hear it.''Never mind,' replied dad. 'She'll be so touched by your attention, that I'11 get her to sing it to youwhen we get home!'

When they got to the castle they had a great time andtook lots of photos. The only problem was that when theygot home they realised they didn't have any film in theircamera! They had remembered to take everything else thatthey needed for their trip, but Lindsay had forgotten to put a film in the camera. Peter was not verypleased.
