I am from a small/medium-sized/big family. I live with my ………. . I get on well
with my family members. …….. can make me angry easily. I think my parents help me to
become independent, because I get in freedom in my decisions.
In my family, both my mother and father work. Luckily, my parents share the
household duties, however my mother does the most of it and my father does gardening and
DIY jobs. Since the quarantine I have been doing a lot of housework because I have enough
time to do it. I usually ………
My grandparents live……… I visit them ………… . I really like my grandparents,
however I think that we have the opposite opinion in several topics, due to the generation
gap which is between us.
It would have ideal if I had had older/younger sister or brother, because it
means like a close friend. Being an only child is not good because they are usually spoilt
and it causes several problems in the future, for example, they can communicate and
work with other people. If you have siblings you learn how to handle anger and
jealousy; share things and deal with selfishness; look after each other; respect others’
opinions and negotiate issues; develop a healthy competitiveness; stand up for yourself
while respecting others’ rights.
Family relationships:
For most people, the family usually means the nuclear family (father, mother and children),
the basic unit of social organisation and the basic living arrangement. The family
provides its members with protecion, security, companinonship and socialisation. Most
families are created through marriage.
As the twentieth century brought about several changes, a
very significant change occured in family life. A century ago families lived a completely
different lifestyle. It was the husband who was the breadwinner of the family. He was
responsible for earning the money for the family. However, the role of the wife was as
important as that of the husband. She was in charge of the whole family. She had to bring
up the children, make sure they had enough to eat. They were supposed to do all the
housework which was much more difficult than nowadays. They did not have the same
household devices like dishwashers, microwave ovens, irons, and so on. The beginning of
the century saw the rise of the suffragette movement, which culminated in the event that
women received the right to vote. Women were an integral part of the war industry in the
two world wars. This means they did most of the jobs men had been responsible for earlier. It
might be true that women, having experienced working, opted for going out to work and
doing full-or part-time jobs. In Hungary, living conditions also played an important role
in the fact that women started to work. Low wages, difficulties to make ends meet forced
women to do two jobs at the same time. Even in the middle of the twentieth
century, most people got married right after high school. Young couples struggled together to
make ends meet and to bring up the children. It was considered abnormal if a girl who was
over 20 was still single. Women wanted to avoid remaining spinsters and they thought it was
a shame if no one chose them. Another important factor was the social status of the young. It
was obvious that two people from different levels of society do not match each other. It
was quite rare for people with different backgrounds to get married. If it happened, there were
usually family feuds, young men were sometimes disinherited by their fathers if they dared to
marry someone inferior to their ranks. All in all family life wasn’t easier. The wars
destroyed million families, they lost one of their family members at least.
In today’s world it is
almost unimaginable to have three or even four generations living under the same roof
in Hungary. A century ago it was normal to do so but not any more. Today the gap between
generations is so wide that it would be unbearable to live together.
Divorce is a controversial
issue nowadays. Nowadays it has become less of a stigma, due to changing social
attitudes. There are several reasons why people get divorced. Most people do not know each
other at the time of their marriage. I think a reason for getting divorced can be the lack of
communication. There can be several other reasons for the high number of divorces.
These can be infidelity, infertility, criminality or insanity. When a couple gets
divorced, it is still not the end of their relationship. For some of them it is the beginning. The
beginning of a very unpleasant relationship. First, they cannot agree on how to divide
their properties and both have more claims than they are entitled, too. It leads to further
arguments and no settlement. In Hungary, divorced parents are not judged in the same way.
It is usually the mother who gets the chance to bring up the children. For some reason, the
Hungarian legal system regards mothers better caregivers than fathers.
In my opinion,
children who lose the most in a divorce. Obviously, they cannot be split and it is usually
not them who decide which parent will have the right to continue the upbringing. They
are not able to make a judgement about their parents and mostly, each parent wants to
influence them in favour of themselves. They have to cope with health problems, like
disturbed sleep, eating problems, poor concentration, tiredness. Behavioural problems
(agressivity, isolation) can also occur. Of course there are cases when getting divorce is
better solution than living together during constant quarrels.
