Reading: A typical British family

  1. Look at the title of the text and say what a typical British family is like, then read the text and check your predictions.

A typical British family

A typical British family consists of mother, father and two children, but now family life changes. For example, the number of divorces increases. In fact, every fifth marriage ends in divorce. This means that there are a lot of one-parent families.

The majority of divorced people marry again, and they sometimes take responsibility for a second family.

Members of a family – grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins – keep in touch, but they see less of each other nowadays. This is because people often move away from their home town to work, and so the family breaks up.

Relationships within the family are different now. Parents treat their children more as equals, and children have more freedom to make decisions.

Although the family holiday is still an important part of family life (usually takes place in August) many children have holidays away from their parents, often with a school party or other organized group.
