True - if the statement agrees with the information in the text.

False - if the statement contradicts the information in the text.

The family has always been very important in all times and societies. However, contemporary families differ a lot from large traditional families. A traditional, or extended, family had a similar structure in different countries. It consisted of several generations and was headed by the eldest man in the family. For example, an ideal traditional Chinese family consisted of the head of the family and his wife, their three or four sons and their wives (the daughters didn't live in the family as they moved to their husbands' families after the wedding) and a dozen grandchildren. People lived shorter lives then, and that's why usually there were no more than three generations in a family.

Children were absolutely dependent on their parents and grandparents, and the status, role and behaviour of each member of the family were strictly regulated. Nobody could break the rules. The interests of the family were above the interests of an individual member. If anyone ignored or betrayed the family interests, they were punished very severely. Most traditional families in Russia, Ukraine, and Poland looked the same.

Nowadays families are much smaller. They often consist of two generations only: parents and their dependent children. The family of this kind is called a nuclear family. There are no male and female responsibilities within the family. This means that most women go to work and earn money, and men often help with cooking, washing and some other work round the house.

Children behave differently too. They are allowed to express their point of view and take part in decision-making on different family issues. Sometimes they can even ignore the senior generation's recommendations or advice, which was absolutely impossible in traditional families. Children are more independent nowadays, and when they grow up, they often prefer to live apart from their parents. Having separate homes, however, doesn't matter much as long as adult children care for their parents and remember to help them.

1The author thinks that nowadays the family is much more important than it

used to be in old times.

a) True b) False

2The author says that a traditional Chinese family consisted of five generations living together.

a) True b) False

3According to the article, parents in traditional families didn't allow children to express their disagreement or argue in any way. a) True b) False

4The article says that nowadays children can ignore the senior generation's advice.

a) True b) False

5The author thinks that it's very bad when generations don't live in one place,

Is insurance necessary for a traveller?

1Agencies provide you with different insurances: you can get a life insurance and accident insurance, car insurance and boat insurance, homeowners insurance and travel insurance, and lots of other kinds of insurance policies. Why do people buy insurance policies? For example, why do they buy travel insurance when they go abroad?

2This is what Adam Brown, the owner of the insurance agency "Safe Travel" says: "When we travel, we can face some unexpected risks. First of all, we can get ill or can have an accident while travelling. The risk is rather high, especially in exotic countries. There are exotic diseases, and snakes and mosquitoes inhabit the most beautiful islands. So, if you become ill or injured, your travel insurance will provide financial support. That is, the agency will pay for your treatment.

3Then your luggage can be lost while travelling, and, unfortunately, this happens a lot. Can you

imagine your life in a foreign city without even the most essential clothes and personal things? If your luggage is lost or damaged, your travel insurance will financially cover at least some percentage of the property that has been lost. With that money you can buy everything necessary and your holiday won't be ruined.

4And last but not least, your luggage or money can be stolen. It's not a very good idea to wait till the police find it. It can take too much time. The agency will pay for the damage done and, then, let the police do their job while you are enjoying your holiday."

5Adam Brown has been in insurance business for more than fifteen years, and the number of his clients is growing. It's growing, he thinks, because when people are on holiday, they want rest and relaxation, and travel insurance helps them relax and enjoy their trip even if something goes wrong.

Find out which paragraph contains the following information.

Write letters a) - f) in the correct box. There is one extra letter you don't need to use.

a)the way insurance policy can help when luggage is lost

b)different kinds of insurance policies

c)medical care provided by an insurance agency

d)insurance policy for the damage caused by fire and flood

e)Adam Browns success in the insurance business

f)the way insurance policy can help when luggage is stolen.

Sandwich generation

There are different families in terms of size and number of generations. There are so-called nuclear families, which consist of parents and dependent children, that is, children who are not old enough to take care of themselves in financial terms. There are also extended families, which also include grandmothers and grandfathers, sometimes even aunts and uncles with their spouses¹ and kids. They all live together and form one household.

In the past, most families in Russia and other countries were extended families, and three or more generations used to live together. ()1. The first refers, mainly, to the young generation - when young people become independent financially and are able to support themselves, they usually leave their parents' house. The latter is about elderly people - grandparents often want their own personal space too and live apart from their grown-up children as long as they are able to take care of themselves.

However, a new trend of the contemporary society has been spotted recently by western researchers. Statistics say that more and more people turn back to extended family lifestyle, when several generations live in one household. Young people tend to stay with their parents even when they become adult. Grandparents, who live longer than they used to, also prefer to share a flat or a house with their children and grandchildren, as they need support and company of other members of the family. But the main reason for that is, certainly, money. ()2. It saves money and makes life easier as the household chores² can be distributed among several members of the family according to their likes and abilities.

Along with those indisputable advantages there are some disadvantages - different generations have different values, habits and interests, they often get on each other's nerves, which leads to conflicts. ()3. A new term "the sandwich generation" has appeared to denote these people. The sandwich generation are those who take care of the elderly and the young, and rule the family in general.() 4. Life is quite tough to her. To survive and to maintain a happy family she needs to exercise the extreme tolerance when looking after both children and parents. It would be nice of the other members of the family to appreciate it.

A There should be someone who is able to resolve conflicts, bridge different interests and take care of others.

B Lots of people prefer extended family because it gives them comfort and support.

C Nowadays the situation is different and many people prefer living on their own, if, of Course, they can afford it and if their health allows them to do it.

D In most cases this is the daughter of the elderly generation and the mother of the young generation.

E It's obvious that one big household is more economical than three little ones.
