My mum says Life is so different these days - new technoLogies, new ways of communication, new standards and traditions. However, famiLy stiLL pLays an important roLe in our modern worLd. Just Like in the past, famiLy means a married coupLe,with or without chiLdren.There are aLso reLatives - peopLe that are reLated to us, Like grandparents, uncLes and aunts, cousins and so on. However, a famiLy is more than just a group of people connected by roots. This is a place where we get help and support in life. Plus, different nationalities have different family standards. For example, in many countries both parents work while in others a man is the only person with a job. There are families where parents live apart from their children and those who are always together. Some children grow up in a full family, whereas others only have a mum or a dad. The number of kids in a family is not the same, too, and there are cultures where a pet can be a family member. Thanks to today’s gLobaLisation, we can aLL share and discover different views and habits in every country. However, there are some things that aLL nations have in common - a famiLy % is a place of love and support.
