INTRODUCING MYSELF

There is saying that if you want something to be done well, do it yourself. So, I am following this wise saying and would like to introduce myself. My first name is Sergei, my family name is Kravenko.

But in the beginning, I would like to represent my family and parents. Actually, my family is not large; my family consists of my father, mother, sister and me.

  My father’s name is Yuri. He is 41 years, but he looks much younger.  He is businessman. My dad is a well-educated and well-read person; he has experiences in many fields. That is why it is always interesting to communicate with him, he usually tells many exciting stories, of course, if he has free time.

            My mother is 37. Her name is Natalia. She is a good looking, blond woman.  I admire her character. She is an optimist; she is full of energy and enthusiasm I really adore her sense of humor. She is a housewife. It takes her much time and power to take care of our home.  But I can assure, she copes with her job very well. Besides, both my farther and I help her with the housework. For example, I wash dishes, plates, sometimes go shopping and so on.

I enjoy spending time with my family very much. We often go for walks. I enjoy strolling along streets because my parents usually tell me many interesting details of the history of our city. That is all reason I am fond of travelling with my parents. My mother spends much time in the kitchen- she is keen on cooking. We always find out new recipes, try them.  When I was a child, my father involved me in stamp collecting. Since that time, stamps and ancient coins have become my hobby. We have a huge collection of stamps and coins. It is impossible to name all the things we can do together, so I think I can stop here.

I would like to see my father's parents. But they were gone before my birth. According to my parents' words, they were wonderful and outstanding people. But to my mind, my dad inherited their best features. My parents are remarkable people: kind-hearted, honest they have moral values and do not break promises.  They understand me completely. They allow me almost everything; they always give me good advice and, frankly speaking, I do not know what I will do without them. I am very lucky that I have such wonderful parents and, of course, I love them very much.

Now, I think, it is time to speak about myself. My name is Sergey, but my friends call me Seriy. I am 16.

I am tall and not bad built. I have an oval face and large green eyes. Speaking about my character, I can say that I am friendly, kind, generous. I don't like falsehood. I appreciate people's honesty, kindness, sense of justice and intelligence. I have my own likes and dislikes. I am modest and sometimes shy, but don't advice someone tricking or kidding me. But in spite of all these characters, I can keep secrets: I never let my friends down. I am sociable, so I have got a lot of friends among my classmates. I usually say, what I think, that is why people around me often take offence. I don't like when people are rude and aggressive.

Text№2

I should say that it is not an easy thing to speak about myself   but at the same time who knows you better than you yourself do?
I am a girl of sixteen. When I look at myself in the mirror I see a blond girl with short straight hair, dark eyes and a slender figure. As to my appearance I'm rather tall and slim. I have never thought I'm a beauty, I wish I were more beautiful.

 I am neither short nor tall, so I like to wear high-heeled shoes, trousers or jeans. I think that I'm even tempered, rather reserved, calm and modest. But sometimes I can lose my temper and become either angry or sad. I like staying alone and sometimes I retreat into my shell. But at the same time I like my friends, I like to laugh and joke. I have got a sense of humor. It means I understand humor and appreciate it.

There are many things in our life I like and some I dislike. I appreciate people's honesty, kindness, sense of justice and intelligence. I don't like when people are rude and aggressive. I am sociable, so I have got a lot of friends among my schoolmates.
I like when everything is OK. Being happy is one way of being wise. I like to study because knowledge is useful sometimes. I'm fond of reading as it gives not only knowledge, but also wonderful moments of joy and pleasure.
I asked myself a lot of times what I wanted to be? I realized that my strongest desire was to continue specializing in humanities and learn foreign languages in particular. I hope my dream will come true.
Finally, the things I hope to achieve in my life are: to have a very successful career, to build the house of my dreams and to find someone in my life to share all that with.

FAMILY LIFE IN BRITAIN

A “typical” British family used to consist of mother, father and two children. But in recent years  there have been many changes in family life. For example, since the law made it easier to get a divorce, the number of divorces has increased. That’s why 24% of British children live with only one parent, usually their mother.

The contemporary British child doesn’t have a lot of companionship from brothers and sisters, because the average family has only one or two children. Most British children live with their parents at least until they finish school at the age of 17 or 18. Then many go away to college, leaving some parents sad and lonely in their empty nest and others enjoying their release from parental responsibilities. But many adults stay with their parents during their college tears or return home after graduation. Today’s parents cannot even be sure that their married children have moved out forever. After a divorce they may return to the parental home temporarily or even on a long-term basis.

 Older people take pride in their independence, enjoy their freedom and don’t want to their children. The telephone, the car and the airplane keep them in close contact even when they live in different parts of the country.

Members of family – grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins - keep in touch, but they see less of each other than they used to. This is because people often move away from home town to work and so the family becomes scattered. Christmas is the traditional season for reunions. Although the family group is smaller nowadays than it used to be, relatives often travel many miles in order to spend the holiday together. Family parties may be all the more joyous when they bring  together relatives who haven’t seen each other for a while.

QUESTIONS:

1.      Why do a lot of British live with only one parent?

2.      What can you tell about the contemporary British child?

3.      Are there many adults staying at their parents’ place?

4.      Older people take pride in their independence, don’t they?

5.      What is the traditional season for reunions?

VOCABULARY:

Divorce – развод

To increase – увеличиваться

Contemporary – современный

Responsibility – ответственность

Temporarily – временно

Family Relationships

How could you describe the word "family"? First of all "family" means a close unit of parents and their children living together. But we shouldn't forget that it is a most complex system of relationships. Family relationships are rarely as easy as we would like, and very often we have to work hard at keeping them peaceful

When do people usually start a family? This question doesn't have a definite answer.

In the18th, 19th and at the beginning of the 20th century people used to get married at the age of 18 or even 16. Despite the fact that the girl was so young, she was already able to keep the house, take care of her husband and raise children

 If a girl about 23 or more wasn't married, she was said to be an old maid or a spinster.

But life's changing as well as people's style of life. Nowadays we have got much more freedom in questions concerning family. It is natural to get married at the age of 20 up to 30; however, some people prefer to make a career first and only after that start a family when they are already in their forties. Moreover, there are many cases when people prefer to live together without being married. There are some reasons for this phenomenon. Firstly, it is difficult to juggle a family life with studies at school or university. But without good education it is practically impossible to find a suitable well-paid steady job. It's a must to get a higher education, but by this moment you are already 22—24 years old.

After that you seek for a well-paid job to live independently, which takes about 3—5 years. Now you see why people in the 21st century do not hurry to get married.

There is also another difference between old and modern families. Nowadays it is very unusual to find three generations living under one roof as they used to do in the past. Relatives, as a rule, live separately and don't often meet one another. This fact sharply hurts an older generation. Our parents and grandparents usually suffer from lack of attention and respect from their children and grandchildren, although they try not to show it. They really don't need much, just a telephone call or a visit once a week will make them happy.

There are two basic types of families. A nuclear family — a typical family consisting of parents and children. A single-parent family consists of one parent and children. Nowadays there are very few people who have never divorced. Today the highest divorce rate in the world has the Maldives Republic. The United States of America take the third place. Russia is at the ninth place.

   Let us

Exercise 4.1. Answer the question

What are the reasons of great numbers of divorce? Name some of the most common and serious ones. Use the phases.

Occurrence of adultery- супружеская  измена

Communication breakdown- невозможность общения

Financial problems- финансовые затруднения

Boredom- скука

Physical and psychological abuses-физические и психологические оскорбления

 Questions:

1. How many members are there in your family?
2. At what age did your parents get married?
3. Give your opinion of marriages of the previous centuries.
4. Do you think it is possible for a modern girl of eighteen to start a family?
5. There is a good phrase in the English language about marriages — "to go on the rocks". It means to break down, to crumble. Think of the similar ones in Russian.
6. Do you agree with the statement that unhappy couples with children should stay together until the children are grown?
