TOPIC 2/19: CHILDREN AND FAMILY (popular in Writing)

(1) Family (Vocab Development 4)

In many countries today, people in cities either live alone or in small family units, rather
than in large, extended family groups. Is this a positive or negative trend?

(2) The Generation Gap (Vocab Development 5)

Many families find it necessary for both parents to go out to work. While some say
children in these families benefit from the additional income, others feel they lack
support because of their parents’ absence. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
