Adults are financially independent. They earn their living, move out of their parents home and start a family. They
are usually responsible not only for their children but often for employees a~ well. Elderly people possess a lot of
wisdom which they have gathered throughout their lives. They can finally sit •?ack_ and relax_ after many years of
working and struggling. They can devote more time to their hobbies and can spoil their gra~dchildren. Unfortunately,
as they get older they also become more dependent on other people. They often become 111 and can also feel lonely
and depressed. . .
I will never forget when my little sister was born. The whole family was so happy and I enJoyed helping my
mother with the baby. Another memorable event was my graduation from primary school. We had a lovely ceremony
and a big party at home. I think every stage has its good and bad features and people can be happy at all stages
of their lives. I don't know what it will be like when I get old, or what I will look like, but I will do my best to live a
long, happy and fulfilled life.

1/2 FAMILY TYPES

I L t
o
There are different types of families: extended families, nuclear families and single parent families. The traditional,
large families of the past are not so fashionable any more. Nowadays, young people want to move out of their
parents' house as soon as possible. If they stay at home, it is for financial reasons. Young people don't always get
married; they just live together and focus on their professional life. Lots of people get divorced, for various reasons,
forming single parent families. They have a huge responsibility, taking care of their children and earning their living
t at the same time.
Different generations living together can have both advantages and disadvantages. While the parents are working,
grandparents can take care of the children or help with the household chores if they are pensioners. It is good for
the grandparents as well, because they do not have to live alone. On the other hand, this situation can create
tension and conflicts because different generations often have different values and ways of thinking; this is what
the expression 'generation gap' means.
I am lucky to have grown up in a happy family. My parents do their best to make sure we have everything we
o
need and we respect them for what they do for us. We usually obey our parents and we believe they want the best
for us. Sometimes we have arguments, but we always make up.
o
xxx
In the future, I hope I will have a similarly large, loving and caring family because I think it is important that my
children grow up in such a peaceful and supportive environment.

1/3 HOUSEHOLD CHORES

When we menti?n household chores, everybody thinks of _tidying and doing the washing up. But there is actually a
lot mo~e to do 1n and around the house. People usually tidy rooms by dusting shelves, cleaning the furniture and
hoovering the carpet. In the bathroom they usually clean the bathtub and the toilet wash the fl d I th
· h h'
mirror. In the kitchen they do t e was 1ng up, c1ean the cooker and the floor. These are ,usually don oor an ckleanb •e

like to do it anymore, so I was very relieved when my parents bought a dishwasher last Christmas. On the other hand,
I absolutely love watering the plants and caring for them. 1can spend hours at weekends tending to the plants around
the house, and my room looks almost like a jungle with all the green potted plants in it.

1/4 FUTURE PLANS

Everybody has plans for the future, both short and long-term plans, but they are probably different. Even different
generations think about the future in a different way.
Short-term plans for teenagers are usually to travel somewhere, to learn to drive or to do a course. ~ost
teenagers have to consider the financial side of enrolling on a course because it can cost a lot. If they get m to
university or college, they may also have plans for applying for a scholarship or a student loan, getting a summer
or a part-time job, etc.
Long-term plans are usually to go to university and after that to start a successful career. A lot of young people move
out of their parents' home at this time and start their own family. Others may start saving money for a car or for a flat.
When making decisions about their future, teenagers are usually influenced by financial considerations, parents,
teachers, friends or trends. Sometimes they choose a certain occupation because it is a family tradition, or
because somebody they look up to has that job. Sometimes friends do not want to leave each other and so they
go to the same university. Nowadays, a lot of people also choose occupations which are fashionable. These
decisions are made for a lot of different reasons.
I have plans too. For example, I would like to learn to drive, go to university and travel somewhere. I would also
like to learn more foreign languages and take up kickboxing as a new hobby. Like everybody else, I don't like to plan
too far ahead. I don't know when I'll get married or where I'll settle down. Some things cannot be planned.
