get the impression
that she’s never forced him to do anything
against his
will,
and has always
let him make his own decisions

great.
QUESTIONS FOR PART 3
In a typical family, who plays the leading role?
Well, the stereotype is that the father is the
breadwinne
r! Of the family, the
person who makes the decisions and
takes responsibility for
the whole
family. This can be understandable because the father tends to occupy high
positions in society while the mother tends to be housewife or only gets involved
in some [trivial work like cleaning or babysitting. However, this is not really the
case in modern society where freedom and equality is being
put a higher
emphasis on
. Women are as successful as men and are no longer in charge of
the
monotonous household chores
like they were in the past

In your country, what kinds of family members usually live
together?
Well,
to the best of my knowledge
, despite the increasing popularity of
nuclear families
, extended ones still exist in our society. Usually both parents
and one, two or three kids would
live
together
under the same roof.
In other
cases, a grandmother or grandmother joins them to take care of the small kids
while the parents are away for work, for example. Other less common situations
are many generations reside in the same house, usually a multi-story house.
Families like these often consist of an uncle, aunt, and their families and so on.
Typically, many problems occur when a great many members are in a similar

Do young and middle-age people live with old people?
Frankly speaking, unlike in Western countries where it is common to send older
grandparents to nursing homes, most people are bound by their duty, which
means that they should or, in another sense, have to
pay back
what their
parents have given them. As a consequence, the young generations and
middle- aged
people tend to share the same house with older people. This can
be beneficial since small children can receive special care from their
grandparents, obtain invaluable hands-on experience and tend to develop a
good code of conduct later on.
What would children do to make their parents proud?
I guess kids can have good performances at school and behave well to their
teachers and the elders. Parents usually take a great pride in their kids if their
children get a good score at school, or when others tell them that their kids are
nice people. As well as this, I deem it a necessity if children help their parents
out with mundane tasks ground the house like sweeping the floor, or washing
the dishes.

Should teenagers have freedom?
To be honest, they should be
given freedom to a certain extent. At this
impressionable age,
most
teenagers can
undergo a tough time in their
personality growth
and they’re
