I’m English so I thought Americans had the same culture as me. When I went to America I ooedutdsrn Americans and British are very different people. Understanding the culture of other people is very otnratimp. It helps us all to get along. If everyone leayrl tried to learn about other cultures, the world would be a more pfealceu place.

Exercise 4. Prepare your speech on the topic: “The typical family in my country”.

Exercise 5. Read the text and translate the 2^nd paragraph.

Family is also very important to how a person develops because even within culture, a family forms it’s own unique culture. The nature of the family varies widely from culture to culture. In some societies, family members tend to stay in close proximity to their kin, never moving more than a few miles away from the ancestral home. In other places, while the members of one generation may all live near one another, their descendants in the next generation scatter widely. In such a case, it’s difficult to maintain the same family cohesion enjoyed by those who live close together.

Sometimes marriage can govern family structure; for example, there may be strict traditions requiring a new bride to leave her paternal home and siblings to move in with her new husband’s family. Such traditions are followed, even by young couples who don’t like them, because going against them is likely to result in the loss of inheritance. Whatever one’s own sentiments about family structure, it is important to recognize that one culture’s family system is as legitimate as another’s.

Exercise 6. Retell the text.
