Hello!

Cerință - Trebuie să completăm spațiile punctate din textul dat cu cuvintele corespunzătoare (la punctul a), apoi să folosim informațiile de mai sus într-un dialog (punctul b).

Punctul a)

         An important and challenging part of your experience is sharing daily life with your host family. They want  to share their life with you and hope that you will become a member of their family. A U.S. family unit may  include a  mother, father, and their children. Today in the U.S., about 50% of all families are single-parent families.  Grandparents or other relatives rarely live in the same home as the parents and children. Many host families may  not be wealthy. In general, they earn a medium income, which means that they can live comfortably and have  a few luxuries. Most families do not have maids to help with the housework and child care. Family members,  including the father and his children, help with the daily household chores. This reflects an attitude that chores build  “character”, responsibility and dependability. The American family is perhaps one of the most mobile units in the world. Almost half of the American population moves at least every five years to new homes and jobs. Some might  say American friendliness is due to mobility.

Punctul b)

„Do you think that grandparents or other relatives live in the same home as the parents and children?”

„No, I believe that they rarely live in the same house.”

„Can the average American host family afford many luxuries?”

„They can afford a few luxuries, since they earn a medium income.”

„Why do you think children help with the daily household chores?”

„I believe they do so in order to help their parents. If they are responsible enough, they will realize that every family member needs to do whatever they can to help around the house, since they all live in the same home. It also builds character and dependability.”
