1. Let’s talk about family. What role does it play in your life? (What is family for you? Why is family important for you?)

Let’s talk about family relationships. What can you tell about your family? Do you get on well with your parents?

There is a wise saying “Blood is thicker than water”. It means that our friends are unstable while our parents and relatives stay with us all our life. I think friends don’t understand us as much as our parents.

In happy, friendly, united families parents are honest with their children without moralizing and bossing them. And children in their turn try to be honest and loving. Members of such families treat one another with understanding and compassion. They always share household chores. Children in such families feel safe at home. They trust their parents, share their secrets and problems, ask parents for useful advice and rely on them.

My family is important for me. We have close relations; we trust and value one another. I resemble my father. He is honest, hardworking and generous. We have much in common, that’s why we are best friends.

My mum is a pretty woman. She is kind and patient. She has a lot of household chores and I always try to help her. Sometimes we argue because of my marks but I never lie to my parents. I know that I can rely on them. They give me confidence in my future.I have many remote relatives:grandparents,aunts,uncles and cousins.I visit them very often.For me my family is the only place where I can find support and relaxation.

Do you agree that family ties are the strongest? Comment on the saying “Blood is thicker than water”.

I absolutely agree with a wise saying “Blood is thicker than water”. Our friends are unstable while our parents and relatives stay with us all our life. Our parents know us well, so they can give us some valuable advice. I think friends don’t understand us as well as our parents and relatives. Our parents will never let us down.

Do you agree that children should be brought up strictly? Why (not)?

It’s common knowledge that family is a crucial instrument for the development of a child’s personality. That’s why it is necessary to live in a friendly and happy family where everyone is loving, caring and understanding. In my opinion, when a child is brought up in a friendly family, he will become a responsible person with a strong character. But parents should be strict if their children break moral laws.

Do you think it is necessary to have family traditions?

I think that it is necessary to have family traditions. They help to unite family members. We also have some family traditions. We celebrate the birthdays of each member of the family. All my relatives gather together at one big table. It’s also our family tradition to spend summer holidays in the country.
