Friends! I don't do tutoring right now, but if you need a teacher, I recommend this wonderful site- there are native (and non-native) teachers there 👅 for all occasions and for every pocket 🙂 I myself went through more than 50 lessons with teachers that I found there!

Family is very important for everyone. Our parents, grandparents, our brothers and sisters surround us from the first days of our lives. They influence us in many aspects: character, interests, habits, behavior.

My name is Sam and I would like to tell you about my family. But to begin with - a few words about myself. I am a schoolboy, twelve years old. I don't like school very much, but I am a good pupil, because I read a lot of books.

I have got mother, father and elder brother. My mother is thirty-nine years old. She is a musician, she plays the piano. Her job is a music teacher and she gives concerts one or two times a month. Her favorite genres are classical music and jazz. Mom also likes to paint in her free time, it is her hobby.

My father is forty-two years old. He is a fitness instructor and he works in a gym. He is fit and healthy. He has no hobbies, usually he spends evenings in front of the computer. He likes watching videos on YouTube.

My brother is nineteen years old and he is a student. He studies information technologies, but his hobby is tattoo making. He learned drawing when he was a child, so his works are quite good. He even won a prize at a regional tattoo contest. He has a pretty girlfriend and they often spend time together at our home. She is nice.

So, as you see, members of our family are very different. Mom is an artist, Dad is a “simple guy” as he calls himself, brother is a smart student with an unusual hobby. I am a quiet boy, I enjoy reading books. I prefer do it in the library, because it is usually rather noisy at home. There are too many people in three rooms. Sometimes we quarrel about something, but it is never serious. I love my family very much and they love me too.

Family is very important to all of us. Our parents, grandparents, our brothers and sisters surround us from the first days of life. They influence us in many ways: on character, interests, habits, behavior.

My name is Sam and I would like to talk about my family. But first, a few words about myself. I am a schoolboy, I am twelve years old. I don't really like school, but I'm a good student because I read a lot of books.

I have a mom, dad and older brother. My mother is thirty nine years old. She is a musician and plays the piano. She works as a music teacher and gives concerts once or twice a month. Her favorite genres are classical and jazz. Mom also likes to draw in her free time, this is her hobby.

My father is forty-two. He is a fitness trainer and works in gym. He is in good shape and in excellent health. He has no hobbies, he usually spends his evenings at the computer. He likes to watch videos on YouTube.

He even won a prize in a regional tattoo competition. He has a pretty girlfriend and they often spend time at our house. She is cute.

So, as you can see, my family members are very different. Mom is a creative person, dad is an “ordinary guy”, as he calls himself, brother is a capable student with an unusual hobby. I'm a quiet boy, I like to read books. I prefer to read in the library because it's usually quite noisy at home. Too many people in three rooms. Sometimes we quarrel over something, but never seriously. I love my family very much and they love me too.

About my family

The role of the family.

Belonging to a family is highly important to each of us. Our family gives us the sense of tradition, strength and purpose. Our families show us who we are. The things we need most of all - love, respect, and communication - have the beginning in the family.

Family is very important in our lives. Family is an emotional center of people "s life. You can always find help and support in your family. If you have any problems, you can consult your parents or relatives. You feel secure when there's a family behind you. In happy, parents are frank and honest with their children, they treat their children with respect without moralizing or bossing them.

The functions of the family.

Families serve many functions:

• They provide conditions in which children are born and brought up.
• They educate children, teach them family values ​​and daily skills.
• They give us emotional support and security.

family pattern.

When we speak about family patterns we mean traditional and non-traditional families , but we must admit that family patterns vary from country to country.

When we speak about a traditional family, we mean a family with both parents living together. Usually there are two children in a traditional family. Today there is a tendency that families are getting smaller. Therefore, a family where there is only one child can also be called a traditional one.

In a traditional family the father goes out and works and the mother looks after the children, or both parents work. More and more women work today either to express themselves or to earn money to support the family.

Today there are many single-parent families, which are headed by only one parent, usually the mother. Many divorced men are required to help support the children by law.

family problems.

Families today face many difficulties – for example financial difficulties – low-income families are not rare today. It's a problem because children in families, which suffer from poverty, are likely to commit a crime one day.

Another family problem is connected with the relationship between the parents. More than a half of all marriages in well-developed countries end in divorce. Children suffer greatly during a divorce, but it’s better to live in a single-parent family, than with two parents who are unhappy.

The generation gap is also a problem in many families. Teenagers often consider their parents old-fashioned. And parents don't want to understand their children's needs. Our parents sometimes don't want to understand modern views, ideals and our system of values. They say that teenagers are cruel, brutal, heartless and rude. Sometimes when we talk to our parents, they listen only to their own point of view. They say that wisdom always comes with age and that they know better.

Do you have your own family traditions?

There are some family traditions in my family. For example, we always have dinner together. Every evening, when my parents come home from work, we have a family dinner. We discuss the important events of the day.

The second tradition is connected with household duties. Everyone in our family has his own duties. For example, my mum is responsible for cooking, while my dad always does the shopping. I’m responsible for the pets and plants, while my older sister is responsible for washing the dishes and vacuum-cleaning.

The third tradition is celebrating holidays together. We especially like celebrating New Year and Christmas. The traditional New Year dishes in our home are a roast chicken, a couple of salads and my mum's specialty - a vanilla cake. We always prepare postcards and gifts for one another.

What will you ask your British friend about his/her family?

• How many members are there in your family?
• What can you tell me about your parents?
• Do you have brothers or sisters?
• Do you have any family traditions?
• Do you love your family?

What can you advise people who want to have a close and happy family?

To have a happy family people must love and respect one another. It's also a nice idea to do something together. You can discuss family plans together, go on trips and hikes together, visit museums, theaters, exhibitions and exchange opinions about them. Family traditions are also very important for those who want to have a close family.

Family is very important in our life. The family is the emotional center of people's lives. You can always find help and support in your family.

In happy families, parents are frank and honest with their children, they treat their children with respect, without moralizing or commanding.

Family functions.

The family performs the following functions:

• provides the conditions in which children are born and raised.
• families raise children, teach them family values ​​and everyday skills.
• family gives us emotional support and provides a sense of security.

family models.

When we talk about family patterns, we mean traditional and non-traditional families, but we must recognize that family patterns vary from country to country.

When we talk about a traditional family, we mean families where both parents live together. As a rule, a traditional family has two children. Today there is a tendency for families to become smaller. Therefore, a family with one child can also be called traditional.

In a traditional family, the father works and the mother takes care of the children; it happens that both parents work. More and more women today work to express themselves or earn money to support their families.

Today there are many incomplete families where only one of the parents, usually the mother. Divorced men are required to help children by law.

Family problems.

Families today face numerous challenges – for example, financial difficulties – low-income families are not uncommon today. This is indeed a problem, because children in families suffering from poverty may one day commit a crime.

Another problem is related to the relationship between parents. More than half of all marriages in developed countries end in divorce. Children suffer greatly in divorce, however, it is better to live in a family with one parent than with two parents who are unhappy.

The problem of generations is a problem in many families. Teenagers often see their parents as old-fashioned. And parents do not want to understand the needs of their children. Our parents sometimes do not want to accept modern views, ideals and value systems. They say teenagers are cruel, heartless and rude. Sometimes, when we talk to parents, they take only their point of view. They say that wisdom always comes with age and that they know everything better.

Family traditions

My family has family traditions. For example, we always have dinner together. Every evening when my parents come home from work, we have a family dinner. We discuss the important events of the day.

The second tradition is related to daily duties. In our family, everyone has responsibilities. For example, my mom is in charge of cooking while my dad is always shopping. I am in charge of pets and plants while my older sister is in charge of washing dishes and cleaning.

The third tradition is to celebrate holidays together. We especially like to celebrate New Year and Christmas. Traditional New Year's dishes of our house are fried chicken, salads and vanilla cake according to Mom's special recipe. We always prepare postcards and gifts for each other.

Ask a British friend about his/her family.

• How many members are in your family?
• What can you tell about your parents?
• Do you have brothers or sisters?
• Do you have family traditions?
• Do you love your family?

To have a happy family, people must love and respect each other. It's a good idea to do something together.

Family traditions are very important for those who want to have a friendly family.
