C3. Imagine that you preparing a report with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the report and you want to read the text to your friend whose role will be played by the examiner. You have one minute to read the text silently, then be ready to read it aloud.

  A Typical British family used to consist of a mother, a father and two children. But in recent years there have been many changers in family life. For example, since the low made easier to get a divorce, the number of divorces has increased. That’s why 24% of British children live with only one parent, usually their mother.

   The contemporary British child doesn’t have a lot of companionship from brothers and sisters, because the average family has only one or two children. Most British children live with their parents at least until they finish school at the age of 17-18. Then many go away to college, leaving some parents sad and lonely in their empty nest and others enjoying their release from parental responsibilities. Older people take pride in their independence, enjoy their freedom and don’t want to be a burden to their children. The telephone, the car and the airplane keep them in close contact even when they live in different parts of the country.

And one of them is to celebrate all festivals together.  It was a happy day. All relatives gathered together to congratulate my granddad. It was his 82 birthday.   In the photo you can see my granddad, my granny, my parents and my brother. My granny and my mum cooked a lot of tasty things, they baked a very delicious cake. My brother and I decorated the room, we bought candles, colorful ribbons and balloons. There were a lot presents. My father and my mother presented him a new shirt. My granny created an interesting album with photos of all our relatives, it was really touching to look at the photos of my grandparents when they were young.   My brother and I bought a bouquet of flowers. We talked a lot, and in the evening my granddad blew out the 82candles. At the moment I took the photo. It was so wonderful day, my family were happy, we had a lot of fun. Also, I am proud of my granddad because he took part in the Great Patriotic War, and was awarded with two orders of Red Star. I decided to show you the photo because I love my family very much and I am proud of my parents and grandparents.

C6. Study the two photographs. In a minute be ready to compare and contrast the photographs.

I have a brother or a sister.

3. Say in what way the pictures are different
4. Say about advantages and disadvantages of having brothers and sisters
5.  Explain your point of view

You will speak for not more than 2 minutes. You have to talk continuously.

Keys: In the pictures you can see two families. The families are happy. In the first picture you can see a mother, a father and a child. The parents are kissing their lone son.  In the second picture you can see a mother, a father and two children. They are a brother and a sister. The sister is elder then the brother. It is clear that all members of the family are happy, they love their children, and the children love their parents very much, they are laughing. But, the questions are “ would you like to have a brother or a sister?” “ ,” What are advantages and disadvantages of having brothers and sisters?” . Many people think it is good to have brothers and sisters, others do not agree. Let us consider what the advantages and disadvantages of having them are.

   First of all, sisters and brothers are very close to each other. As for me, I have a sister and I have a person to talk to and I can share my personal secrets with her. Another good thing is that brothers and sisters look after their parents when they become old. It is really difficult to take care of an old person, who is sometimes mentally handicapped, but it is easier to overcome difficulties together, for example my mother’s brother always helps her to take care of my old granny, because my granny is 81, and she  really needs it.

    Other people think that younger brothers and sisters are a problem. They have to share their rooms. I suppose, they interfere in the life of each other and it means nothing is safe, but my sister always understands me. There is one more opinion about it. Sometimes parents don't have enough money to satisfy their children’s needs. In my family we always decide together how to spend money.

    In conclusion, I believe brothers and sisters make our life more comfortable and calm. People who have them are lucky, because brothers and sisters change our life for the better.
