My family

My family is not a large one. There are five of us: father, mother, two brothers and myself. We live in a small town. Some of our relations live close by, including my grandparents, who are retired, aunt and uncle and their children, my cousins.

Father works in a bank, mother is a housewife, my eldest brother Tom is a student, my second brother Pete is an artist and I am in the eleventh form at my school.

Since we all leave home at different times in the morning, the evening meal is our one opportunity of sitting down together. At weekends we see more of one another, although Tom is often away playing soccer and Pete frequently goes to visit his friend, who lives in the country. However we do try to spend Sunday together as a family day, when our relations often join us for tea or sometimes for dinner. Though our family are usually fond of watching TV, we have a rule, that it is not switched on Sunday, because this destroys conversation.

Today, however, we broke our rule. There was an international soccer match which Tom was eager to see. Father was against it, as he felt it was breaking the established rule without good reason. Fortunately for Tom, both my cousins wished to watch the match as well. So father gave way, but he did insist that they take the TV into another room.

A family

At the age of twenty-one, persons of both sexes in England come of age. Boys and girls are permitted to become "engaged", when still in their "teens". A boy can, with his parent's consent, propose to a girl and marry her before he is twenty-one years of age.

On the day of the wedding the bridegroom and bride with family and friends go to church for the wedding service. The clergyman slips a wedding-ring on the bride's finger, which is worn on the third finger of the left hand for the rest of her life.

When two persons are married, the man is called the husband, the woman becomes his wife. When a child is born in the family, the father and mother of the child are called parents. A family generally consists of a father, a mother and children - sons or daughters or both. The first-born child is the eldest, the last is the youngest. Two children that are born together are called twins.

The father and mother of the husband become the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the wife. The husband is the son-in-law, the wife - the daughter-in-law, they have brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.

The other members of the family are the relatives or relations: uncles, aunts, cousins, etc.

The brothers and sisters of any of the parents become the uncles and aunts of the children. The children of two married brothers or sisters or brother and sister are cousins to each other.

In case of a second marriage, we speak of a step­-father or a step-mother, step-son, step-daughter, etc.
