Model Answer 1:
The family is the oldest unit of the world where people lived together with the
members including parents, kids and other members. But with the change of
time, families have been divided into different categories.
In France, most of the families are nuclear. For more clarification, a nuclear
family always refers to a family where two parents are living with their kids. No
other members are included in that family. But sometimes, the family may
experience several difficulties when guests come to visit them. I live with my
own family while my parents are living on their own. My father and mother live
in another city and they also have the same situation. They have formed their
own nuclear family while the two brothers and one sister of mine have also the
similar type of family. Living in a nuclear family is preferable to me for a wide
number of causes. It helps to lead a stress-free life. However, there are some
joint families living in France and all of them have migrated from different
Asian countries. Thus, the number of such families is lower.
In my family, I have three other family members except me. I am David and by
profession, I am an engineer. I live with my wife Lisa, my son – Abran and
daughter Silvya. Lisa is a teacher by profession and teaches at a senior school
adjacent to my apartment. My son is three years older than my daughter and
now is in his fourth grade while the daughter got her admission at the
elementary level in the current year. We are a happy family. Lisa takes care of
the kids when she comes back from the school. It is beneficial for me that
neither Lisa nor I have to care for the kids when they are at school. She brings
the kids home when she returns from her own workplace. In my off days, I go
to bring the kids from the school and both of them are in the same school
which is also positive for my small family.
Usually, I do not get enough time in the day time to spend with the family
members, especially with the kids. On most of the days, I have to return after
the dusk and find the kids busy in their studies. But when I could return early in
the evening from my work, I try to spend some quality hours with them by
playing or making fun. Generally, I participate in different indoor sports with
them and play chess. This is a very special game for the two. Sometimes, I take
all the members for outing in the holidays. We visit the tourist spots and other
destinations, watch cinemas or attend in exhibitions. Sometimes, we take food
outside the home and I have made a routine that I will take dinner outside
once in a month together and it will help strengthening our bond. It will also
help us to get rid of the boredoms of the mechanised life.
My family is the issue of top most importance to me. I love my family. I have
been supporting my wife in different household chores and also share some
responsibilities as much possible for me. Usually, I shop groceries for the week
and sometimes cook foods at home so that Lisa could take care of the kids.
Sometimes, I read out stories to my kids so that they could fall in sleep.
Besides, I try to teach the standard norms and manners to my kids so that they
could be presentable everywhere and survive. This is my way to teach them
how to deal with the world. They are highly important to me and thus I try to
