I begin to work at 8 o'clock. At 12 o'clock I have a break for dinner. I usually have cabbage soup for the first course, some meat or fish with some vegetables for the second. Then I drink a cup of tea.My working day lasts 8 hours. After work I go home or do some shopping. I come home at half past 4 and have a short rest. I read newspapers and make some telephone calls.

| Ex.3 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 the 18th, 19th and at the beginning of the 20th century people used to get married at the age of 18 or even 16. If a girl about 23 or more wasn't married, she was said to be an old maid or a spinster. That might have turned out a real tragedy for her family which usually brought up more than three children, because in some cases a successful marriage was the only chance to provide a good life for the daughter and to help her family. 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. To feel the time, its culture and customs I advise you to read a wonderful novel or see a breathtaking film "Pride and Prejudice". Though the story takes place at the turn of the 19th century, it retains fascination for modern readers, revealing some problems which may be urgent in the 21st century. 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 2224 years old. After that you seek for a well-paid job to live independently, which takes about 35 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 Maldive Republic. The United States of America take the third place. Russia is at the ninth place. What are the reasons of great numbers of divorce? Let us name some of the most common and serious ones. Occurrence of adultery once or throughout the marriage. The unfaithful attitude towards a spouse destroys the relationship and leads to a final separation. Communication breakdown. After some time of living under one roof spouses find out that they are absolutely incompatible. Constant clashes, brawls and squabbles cause serious problems. The differences grow as a snowball and can't be already settled by kisses or hugs. Physical, psychological or emotional abuses. When a person taunts, humiliates, hits the children or his spouse, it can't but end with a divorce. Financial problems. It sounds lamentably, but sometimes love alone can't guarantee well-being, whereas money can solve many of your problems. So when a couple lacks it, their relations become more and more complicated, their priorities change and the relationships end. Boredom. A lot of couples get bored of each other after 7 or more years of marriage. Boredom may become the reason of constant quarrels and adultery which inevitably leads to a divorce |
| Ex.4 Questions: 1. What can be done by both spouses to prevent a divorce? 2 What are the family roles distributed within a family? What is a "woman's place" and what is a "man's place" in the family? 3. Can the birth of children strengthen the family? 4. 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. 5. Do you agree with the statement that unhappy couples with children should stay together until the children are grown? |

| Relationships between parents and children The problems of teenagers 1. As for me, I get on with my parents all right. 2. I know, that thousands of young people run away from their homes each year, because they dont get on with their parents well. 3. Every day I can talk with my mother (father died last week) about everything, because she is young too. 4. And she knows my problems as well as her own. 5. Mother always gives me necessary, correct advice. 6. Many parents are busy, but my mother helps me at any time. 7.

She always says: Go and clean your room tidy.10. I consider, that my relationships with my mum are very good, which is especially rare at this time. 11. Our grandparents say that nowadays the younger generation has a more difficult life then they had. 12. They explain it taking into consideration the fact about the change of the economic formation from the socialist to capitalist. 13. They are also sure that the younger generation that is youth is not sure in its future. 14. As for me I partially agree with them but I think that nowadays has more possibilities and ways for developing, it has more rights them before. 15. Of course one should remember not only ones rights but also duties. 16. When a person is young he or she survives more vividly all the problems, for teenagers nearly everything becomes a tragedy. 17. Love, friendship, conflicts these are all the things that go hand in hand with youth. 18.

Those who are different are very often in the state of a conflict, because they cannot control their emotions. 20. Very often such hot boys organize one group against the other and the conflict becomes serious. 21. In big cities there are so-called cliques which dictate their own rules to all their members and they are very difficult to deal with. 22. As for me I live in a small town of Maykop and I cannot say that my towns problems correspond to the big towns ones. 23. As far as I know we do not have cliques and our youth is quite neutral to all the exotic changes in way of life and so on. 24.I have a lot of friends. 25. We share common interests, have the same hobbies and visit the same places. 26. We are alike, we want to be students, have a funny life and get much pleasure out of it. |

| MY FRIENDS. FRIENDSHIP Friendship is very great thing. An English proverb says: A good friend is as the sun in winter. I think it is a good proverb. A real friend makes your life happier and more interesting. He/she is clear to you and you want your friendship to last for a very long time. You must always think how to keep it, as it difficult to find a new friend. Friends have the same interests; they understand, help, respect and trust each other. As for me I have a friend, too We like to be together. We often listen to music (go to the cinema, walk about the city, play games, read books) together. We have the same hobby and devote all our free time to it. We speak of all sorts of things. We tell each other our secrets and troubles. Together we decide what to do. It is interesting to discuss our school life, films that we have seen, interesting books, TV programmes, political news, and the results of sport events. I never quarrel with my friends (if we quarrel we try to make peace as soon as possible). We share the same ideas about sports (music, books, films friendship). But of course there are some issues on which we have different opinions.What I like in my friend is that she (he) is always willing to help, to share his knowledge (success, feelings). I like that she (he) is very sensitive, she (he) knows a lot, I can rely on her (him) in any situation. I trust her (him) a lot and she (he) never lets me down.I respect her (him) for her (his) fairness, strong will. She (he) is very kind-hearted, honest, serious, well-bred, modest, and intelligent. It is easy to get along with her (him). She (he) is always full of ideas. She (he) is good at sports, drawing and music. And there is only one thing I dont like in her (him): she (he) is sometimes hot-tempered. Friendship helps me to feel strong and self-confident. |

Tastes differ. Different people like different things, different people have different hobbies. I go in for sports, I like to play tennis. I go to play tennis every day.
Sport is very important part of our life. Many people go in for sports, they jogging, walking, swimming, skating, skiing, train themselves in clubs and different sections. Physical training is an important subject at school. Pupils play volleyball, football, basketball. I have been playing tennis for 5 years. Tennis became very popular now. I take part in different competitions. To be in a good shape I'm jogging every morning and do my morning exercises. Everyone should do all he can to stay healthy and choose the sport he is interested in. I do not understand people who say that they like sport, but they only watch sport on TV. If one goes in for sports he feels much better, looks much better, sleeps much better. Your physical appearance will change too. You will be slimmer and trimmer. And what is even more important you will not get sick often. Why do I go in for sports? Because I think that it is very important for a man to be strong and well-built. Sport is not for weak, because, you have to learn how to lose, and it's not
easy. My favourite proverb says: "A sound mind in sound body".
