What these kids need is discipline
I'm a very old-fashioned and strict parent, like my own father. He wanted me to become a barrister, like him, but I used to say to him that he'd made me secure enough not to worry about having a proper job. He was very disappointed when I said I was going to be a writer, but I think that was out of anxiety: he didn't know how 1 would survive in the world. As a child I was really proud of my father. I have an image of him, 6ft 5in and broad- shouldered. wearing a smart suit and tie and behaving maturely - an image 1 feel I should live up to.
I think children want to feel proud of their parents because it makes them feel secure in a Darwinian sense. The one time that my children knew how to rate my professional life was when I was nominated for an Oscar for my adaptation of The Canterbury Tales - my lucky break. Briefly, I was elevated in their eyes. When 1 didn't win I felt that I had let them down, which is ridiculous. I had one little cry because I felt I had failed.
I have inherited from my father a strong sense of the importance of doing the right thing. And, like him. I am strict, even though I lack the sort of authority bubble he had around him. In the right context, my children are allowed to be rude to me - they might call me 'fat face' in a jokey way, when I would never have dared.
Bin I'm also very authoritarian: I believe strongly in proper bedtimes, that chores have to be done and that certain times of the day - when Julie and 1 have an evening drink arc reserved for adults, which the children are not allowed to interrupt.
Task 1. Make up a plan to the text. (time for preparation – 1 min., for answering – 1 min.).
Task 2. Translate the 2-nd paragraph of the text (time for preparation - 3 min., for answering – 1 min.).
WRITING (14 minutes)

(time for preparation - 13 min., for checking - 1 min.).
