b) Put the characteristics in order of priority. 
c) Cut them down to the five most important. 
d) Expand them to describe exhaustively the most perfect wife / husband and mother-to-law. 
8. One of the main problems of family life is the relationship between young adults and parents. Discuss the 
problem considering the following: 
1. When do usually young people move out of their parents' home and start living in their 
own place? Is it different for sons and daughters? How and why?
2. What are the advantages of living with parents? What are the disadvantages? What 
kind of problems do young adults have when they live with their parents?
3. Should young adults live with their parents until they get married? Why or why not? 
When should they move out, in your opinion?
4. Are you living with your parents or relatives now? Would you rather be living in your 
own apartment? Why or why not?
5. In many countries young married couples live with their in-laws after marriage. Is this 
good? Why or why not?
6. If you are a parent, do you want your children to continue living with you until they 
get married? When do you think your children should leave home? 
7. Pair work. Read the quotations given below and agree or disagree with them. Your opinion should be 
followed by some appropriate comment where possible: 
1. Love is just like the measles; we all have to go through it (Jerome K. Jerome) 
2. A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband. (Montaigne)
3. All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own 
way. (Leo Tolstoy)
4. Man for the field and woman for the hearth; 
Man for the sword and for the needle she; 
Man with the head and woman with the heart;
Man to command and woman to obey;
All else confusion. (Lord Tennyson)
5. Home is the girl's prison and the woman's workhouse. (G. B. Shaw)

6. Marriage is like life in this — that it is a field of battle, and not a bed of roses. (R. L. 
Stevenson)
