Reading

Exercise 1. Reading the text, and choose the best answers.
Children can learn a lot from doing household chores. Doing chores helps children learn about what
they need to do to care for themselves, a home and a family. They learn skills they can use in their adult
lives, like preparing meals, cleaning, organizing and keeping a garden. Being involved in chores also gives
children experience of relationship skills like communicating clearly, negotiating, cooperating and working
as a team.
When children contribute to family life, it helps them feel competent and responsible. Even if they don’t
enjoy the chore, when they keep going they get the feeling of satisfaction that comes with finishing a task.

Sharing housework can also help families work better and reduce family stress. When children help
out, chores get done more quickly, and parents have less to do. This frees up time for the family to do fun
things together.
In order to get children involved in chores, it is best to start by choosing chores that works for
children’s ages and abilities. Chores that are too hard can be frustrating, and chores that are too easy might
be boring. If children are old enough, we can have a family discussion about chores. This can reinforce the
idea that the whole family contributes to how the household runs.

Exercise 2. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
Family types vary in different countries and among different cultures. In Western, industrialized
societies, the nuclear family ranks as the most common family type. It consists of a father, a mother and
their children. But nuclear families exist together with many other types of family units. In the singleparent family, for example, a mother or a father heads the family alone. A blended family is formed when
a divorced or widowed parent remarries. As divorce rates have risen, the number of single-parent and
blended families has increased.
In many parts of the world, parents and children live together with other family members under the
same roof. These complex families usually contain several generations of family members, including
grandparents, parents and children. They may also include brothers or sisters and their families, uncles,
aunts and cousins. Even when relatives do not live together, they still consider themselves members of the

Exercise 3. Read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C or D to each question.
Comparing society 40 years back to activities and happenings of today, I appreciate that family values
have changed over time. In our world today, a lot of vices are holding sway and these vices are quickly
displacing virtues because we have compromised family values.
Today children are growing up in a society that is technologically driven and are learning at a much
faster pace than in the 70s. The fast pace of learning has kept parents lagging in getting a hold of their kid’s

moral values and helping them understand what family values used to be.
Family values have changed over time from my perspective, seeing all that is happening in our world
today. To better appraise this conclusion let us understand the definition of family values. Family values
are traditional values that are passed on from generation to generation within the family that address the
family roles, family structure, function, attitude, and ideas. These traditional values are like unwritten
codes that guide the actions of individuals. They help people decide what is right or wrong.
The family is a powerful institution with tremendous influence on society, and when these family
values become promoted by parents within the family, society will feel the effect.

A. Family Values have changed over time.

B. Traditional values have lost.

C. Family values in modern society become better. D. What are traditional family values?

C. Because virtues are being displaced.
D. Because so many things have changed for 40 years.

A. the importance of technology

B. the fast pace of modern life

C. the fast pace of life in the 70s

D. the impact of the fast pace of learning

4. The word “driven” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to_______.
A. transported


B. turned

C. oriented

D. controlled

A. Family values are any values that are passed on from generation to generation.
B. Family values can be passed outside the family as long as they address the family roles, family
structure, function, attitude, and ideas.
C. Traditional family values guide the actions of individuals which help them decide what is right or
wrong.
D. The society won’t be affected if family values become promoted by parents within the family.

The majority of jobs today are reserved for men but that should not mean that women cannot make
their career. Men are nowadays entering the jobs which are considered for women like nursing and
women, therefore, have been allowed to enter into job vacancies that are left by men. Many television
shows have portrayed successful women’s career stories.
Various changes have been seen and impacted the role of women in society. Now, women have gained
a lot of ground in politics, the workforce, social welfare, etc. They are even more powerful within their
households. From a time when women were not able to voice their opinions to the modern time when
women started ruining presidential campaigns, the lifestyle of a woman has undergone a drastic
transformation. The modern society and workforce are filled with powerful women who play their
leadership roles in offices in a very impactful and efficient manner.
Women are in powerful positions in various large-scale companies. Working outside doesn’t mean
women do not do household chores. Women do two full- time jobs - the one at the workplace and the one
at home. Women nowadays are becoming keepers of the home, planners of family events, errand runners,
and bill payers. According to studies, when the economical and political organization of a society changes,
women come to the forefront and help the family to adjust to new challenges. Women are likely to be the

prime initiator of outside assistance, and they play an important role in facilitating changes in family life.

Exercise 6. Read the lecture to parents, and mark the sentences T (true), F (false), or NG (not given).
Some people point out that today's children have more homework and have less time to do chores
around the house. If they're teenagers, they also don't have much energy because their bodies and brains
are developing very quickly, and that can be tiring for them.
Children also say, 'It's not my house, why should I clean it?' Actually, they use it, and if they don't learn
how to do basic chores like cooking and cleaning, how can they look after themselves when they leave
home? Helping with chores is training in basic survival skills. It's also a good way to remind children that
they are a part of something bigger than themselves the family. And, by giving them some responsibilities,
you're also telling them that you trust them, and that increases their confidence.
But it's often tricky to get children to do chores. There is no 'I' in the words 'work' or 'chores', and most
kids only like to do things that help them or give them something back immediately. The best way to deal
with this is to make some family rules and the family chore chart, and also point out some of the long-term
benefits: studies show that children and teenagers who help around the house are happier and have better
family values. When they take out the rubbish, lay the table or clean the floor, they are actually learning
how to become more helpful members of society.
The most important thing is to help children start good habits early, and also help them become good
and responsible citizens in the future.
1. Children today don't have as much homework as children in the past.

______

2. Teenagers have more energy than young children.

Home Life in Japan
It is common in Japan for three generations to live under the same roof. This is becoming less common
today, but still exists, certainly in the countryside.
Husbands in Japan give their salaries to their wives. They are returned a sum of money as pocket
money, otherwise how to use the rest is the wife's decision. The finances of a family are the responsibility of
the women who handle most of the household expenses. There are exceptions in instances when something
of value, like a car, is being bought. This is changing with more women going to work.
Japanese fathers in contemporary urban households spend so much time at work, and the company
demands on them are so great. it means that they often really have very little time or energy to spend with
their children. The responsibility for raising children, overseeing the education fall onto the mothers.
