Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
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.

Building positive family relationships
The ordinary, everyday things that families do together can help build strong relationships with teenagers.
Regular family meals are a great chance for everyone to chat about their day, or about interesting things that
are going on or coming up. If parents encourage everyone to have a say, no one will feel they’re being put on the
spot to talk. Also, many families find that meals are more enjoyable when the TV isn’t turned on!
We should all take turns choosing outdoor activities for our families. A relaxing holiday or weekend away
together as a family can also build togetherness.
One-on-one time with the child gives the parents the chance to stay connected and enjoy each other’s
company. It can also be a chance to share thoughts and feelings.
Parents should celebrate the child’s accomplishments, share his disappointments, and show interest in his
hobbies. Sometimes it’s just a matter of showing up to watch the child play sport or music, or giving him a lift to
extracurricular activities.
Family traditions, routines and rituals can help parents and their children set aside regular dates and
special times. For example, we might have a movie night together, a favourite meal or cooking session on a
particular night, a family games afternoon or an evening walk together.
