FAMILY
1. Lets talk about family. What role does it play in your life? The family is very important as a unit in our society. Nothing else but family can be an emotional center of people's life. Every mother feels great affection for her children and tries to bring them up in a proper way. Understanding between the members of the family and consideration for others are very important in family relationship. Tenderness, warm-heartedness and respect must always be present in the family to make it friendly. A lot of activities help members of the family to be on friendly terms: discussing all the family plans together, going on trips hikes together, visiting museums, theaters, exhibitions and exchanging opinions about them, sharing the same joys and sorrows.
Now Id like to tell you about my family. Our family is not large. We are a family of four: my father, my mother, my younger brother and I.
My name is Olga. I am seventeen. I am a school leaver. My younger brother is ten. He is a pupil of the fifth form. He looks like our father. As for me everybody says I look like my mother. I am an ordinary girl of 17.
Our family lives in Vitebsk. We have a nice three-roomed flat on the fourth floor of a multistoried building. My mother is about 40. She looks pretty well. We all love dearly our Mum, and are always ready to help her about the house. We try to share our duties. My mother is an economist. The firm she works in deals with trading.
My father is an engineer in computers. He is considered to be an experienced engineer. We are very proud of him.
My younger brother also has his duties about the house. He helps mother to set the table and wash the dishes. On Saturdays Dad joins us in our work about the house. He likes to make or repair something. We don't have such problems as misunderstanding between the members of the family. I think that it is due to the age of my parents and their character.
2. Are you on good terms with your parents and grandparents? Frankly speaking Im on good terms with my parents and grandparents. We don't have such problems as misunderstanding between the members of the family. I think that it is due to the age of my parents and their character.
3. What will you ask a British teenager about his/her family? Have you got a big family? Have you got any family traditions? Do you like to spend your free time with your family?
4. What can you advise people who want to get on well with their parents? I can advise for anyone to try to understand the feelings of your parents and show respect to them. Even if you dont agree with their thinking, try to make them understand politely, dont use harsh words with them which may hurt.
5. They say that parents and children have difficulties understanding each other because of the generation gap. What do you think about this problem? Its sad that families are getting smaller these days. To my mind there should be two or three children in a family. You will never feel lonely in a big family.
