Family types vary in different countries and among different cultures. In Western, industrialized 
societies, the nuclear family ranks as the most common family type. It consists of a father, a mother and 
their children. But nuclear families exist together with many other types of family units. In the single-parent 
family, for example, a mother or a father heads the family alone. A blended family is formed when a 
divorced or widowed parent remarries. As divorce rates have risen, the number of single-parent and 
blended families has increased. 
In many parts of the world, parents and children live together with other family members under the 
same roof. These complex families usually contain several generations of family members, including 
grandparents, parents and children. They may also include brothers or sisters and their families, uncles, 
aunts and cousins. Even when relatives do not live together, they still consider themselves members of the 
same extended family includes grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins.

Exercise 7 : Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question. 
The American family unit is in the process of change. In the first half of the 20lh century, there were 
mainly two types of families: the extended and the nuclear. An extended family includes mother, father, 
children and some other relatives, living in the same house. A nuclear family is composed of just parents 
and children living under the same roof. 
As the American economy had progressed from agricultural to industrial one, people were forced 
to move to different parts of the country to get good jobs. These jobs were mainly in the large cities. Now, 
in fact, three-quarters of Americans live in urban areas which occupy 2.5% of the national total land mass. 
Of the 118 million in the labour force, only 3 million still work on the farm. 
Since moving for better jobs has often divided the extended family, the nuclear family became more 
popular. At present, 55% of the families in the US are nuclear families. But besides the two types of 
traditional family groupings, the family is now being expanded to include a variety of other living 
arrangements because of divorce. There is an increase in single-parent families, in which a father or mother 
lives with one or more children. Divorce has also led to blended families, which occur when previously 
married men and women marry again and combine the children from former marriage into a new family. 
There are also some couples who do not want to have children to form two-person childless families. 
1. A nuclear family is one that __________. 
 A. consists of father, mother, and children living in the same house 
 B. relatives live with 
 C. there are only grandparents, parents and their children living in 
 D. is bigger than extended family 
2. The expression “under the same roof” means __________. 
 A. a house with one roof B. a house with the roof the same as the wall 
 C. in the same building D. under the house 
3. The nuclear family becomes more popular because of __________. 
 A. more divorces B. the division of the extended family 
 C. fewer jobs in big cities D. an increase in single-parent families 
4. How many types of families have there been in the US since the first half of the 20lh century? 
 A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five 
5. A blended family is a newly-formed family __________. 
A. with the combination of children of the two previously married father and mother 
B. that has only father or mother living with children 
C. in which there are no children 
D. that there is only one couple living in with their newborn children

Home Life in Japan 
It is common in Japan for three generations to live under the same roof. This is becoming less 
common today, but still exists, certainly in the countryside. 
Husbands in Japan give their salaries to their wives. They are returned a sum of money as pocket 
money, otherwise how to use the rest is the wife's decision. The finances of a family are the responsibility 
Workbook English 10 - Pearson 
Mr. Nguyễn Hoài Thắng Page 9 
of the women who handle most of the household expenses. There are exceptions in instances when 
something of value, like a car, is being bought. This is changing with more women going to work. 
Japanese fathers in contemporary urban households spend so much time at work, and the company 
demands on them are so great. It means that they often really have very little time or energy to spend with 
their children. The responsibility for raising children, overseeing the education fall onto the mothers. 
Mothers play an enormous role in the lives of their children and the bond is very' strong. Babysitters are 
rarely used and mothers often sleep with their babies. A mother will also spend hours with children doing 
school work. Few Japanese men help with housework. There is more pressure today for this to change. 
Most families in Japan today arc nuclear families, such as those in the United States. That is to say 
that a married couple lives together with their children, perhaps with one grandparent. But for the most part, 
the Japanese family today looks much like the American family.
