My Family
Family is very important to every person. It’s the one special unit of society, which matters the most. Human nature has a need to always communicate, to have friends, partners and children, to share emotions and experienceas. It isn’t surprising that every achievement, happiness, good or bad humor, it all depends on family relations. Family is the place where people spend most of their time, apart from regular work. Family is originally created by two young people who meet, fall in love and get married. They gradually build their family life on certain values and priorities, which are most important to them. A husband and wife can create their happiness together. They often decide to have children. When the family is big, everybody may have different personalities. It doesn’t mean that it’s a bad, unhappy or unsuccessful family. They just need to learn to respect each other and to find compromises. Mutual aid and rapport are also important. To build the right rapport, people should communicate often and spend time together-this way, people may have a loving family in a friendly environment.
Modern family life is a bit different from the way it was several decades ago. Earlier, several generations could live together under the one roof. There were also lots of children in each family, up to 15-20 and more. Nowadays, young people tend to be more independent and want to live separately from their parents and grandparents. They also have fewer children. The average family has 1 or 2 children. Marriages are
also becoming rare. Many couples tend to live together without actually being husband and wife. Thus, modern families differ a lot from each other. However, they all have something in common: when all members in the family love, respect and understand eeach other, they will definitely find happiness in family life.
I sometimes think about what my future will be and what kind of family I am going to have. It seems to me...
