Text 1 Family value

Most young people eventually get married, buy or rent a house or flat of their own and start a family. However, a great many changes are taking place in this pattern of behaviour. As in many other Western European countries, more and more men and women are living together without being married. In the mid- 1980s more than a quarter of new brides had lived with their husbands before marriage, compared with 8 per cent in 1970. People are also getting married later than they used to.

However, marriage is still popular even among those whose first marriage has failed. In fact, in 36 per cent of all marriages one or both partners have already been married and divorced. Britain now has the highest divorce rate in Europe and about 10 per cent of children live with only one parent.

Another trend is towards smaller households. Very few children now grow up in large families and more and more adults are living alone (25 percent in 1987). Many of the people who live alone are elderly; it is unusual to find three generations living in one house as they used to doin the past. It is quite common for close relatives to live in different parts of the country and. many people hardly ever meet their uncles, aunts and cousins. One reason for this is that British people move house every five years on average. They do this in order to change jobs or to buy a bigger or better house.

35. Do children live with ... after divorce?

• Alone
• One parent
• Grandparent
• Two parents

36. Relatives nowadays:

• Try to see each other as often as possible
• Don’t see each other very often
• Are closely connected
• Don’t know each other

37. How often do people meet their uncles and aunt?

• Hardly ever
• Sometimes
• Often
• Hard ever

38. Where do close relatives live?

• In different parts of the city
• In different parts of the country
• Near to your house
• In one part of the country

39. Who lives together without being married?

• More and more women
• Less and less people
• More and more men and women
• Less and less men and women

40. What are the reasons to move house?

• It is a custom
• To get closer to their family
• To change job or to buy bigger or better house
• Because they feel bored

41. What do British people want to buy every five years?

• Bigger and better house
• Small house

Text 2 Australia

Australia is a large country lying between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Australia is an island, like Britain, but unlike Britain it is vast. It is, in fact, nearly twenty-five times as large as the British Isles. Most of Australia is a semi-desert. People cannot live where there is no water, and so most of the people in Australia live in the richer south-east. The first Australian people were the dark-skinned Aborigines, and though the coming of the white settlers destroyed their tribal lives, some sixty thousand still survive in Australia today. They account for about 1% (percent) of the population. They may be found in the inland areas of the country. Some live-in reservations, others work as stockmen, shepherds and cattle drivers. Some live- in modern cities bu tit is not really easy for them. They have to fight for their rights.

The first Europeans to land in this country were Dutch sailors who were blown off their course across the Indian Ocean in the seventeenth century. They were not impressed by what they found. It remained for Captain Cook, an Englishman, who arrived in 1770 to notice the possibilities of the new country. He hoisted the British Flag, and Australia was British.

Though Cook was warmly congratulated on his discovery, nothing was done about it until after the American Revolution when royalists’, who had to leave the United States, appealed to the British Colonial Office for new colonies, in which to settle, The British Government needed a place to send British prisoners, too. And Captain Cook's discovery was remembered. Thus, it was that over 1,000 people, 850 of them convicts, set sail in 1787 to start the first European colony in Australia.

The national holiday, Australia Day, is now celebrated on or near January 26th in memory of the landing of the British in 1788. Explorers followed, and though they met with great hardships, they discovered good, rich places to live in, they found minerals, they began to build new settlements. The young country grew very fast.

Today Australia is an independent federative state consisting of 6 states and 2 territories. It is a member of the Commonwealth headed by the British Queen. The national language is English. The capital of Australia is Canberra; the largest cities are Sidney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
