Modern families in Bitain

The typical British two-parent family has changed over the last century. Cohabitation* has risen in the last decade. Britain has the highest proportion of lone parents in Europe - a quarter of children now live with a single mum. Step-families are very common in Britain. One in free Britons is involved in a step-family situation.

*  If two people, especially a man and woman who are not married, cohabit, they live together and have a sexual relationship

How has the typical Russian family changed over the years? Are you a witness of such changes?

Relationships

Dear 10th grade student,

We've just started talking about relationships and I hope, it's an exciting topic to discuss. No doubt, our life is all about relationships and we just can't imagine what our life would be like without friends, our loved ones, our families, in other words, without our nearest and dearest.

So I'd like to tell you about my relationships - you've asked so many questions in your letters!

First of all, a few words about my family. I've got a small family with a few distant relatives. We are not very close as a family and don't often get together but I can't say that we don't get on. We don't have rows and I don't have a difficult family life, it's just that we are not very close. I guess, I get on especially well with my mom, Olga. We talk on the phone every other day. I don't get to see or talk to my dad, Alexander, very often, maybe, once in a month. As for my sister, Elena, who is 5 years younger than me, well... we used to fight and have rows back in our childhood :) These days we get along better. She has a complicated relationship with her husband so I try to help her out when she has problems. We see each other several times a week and I listen to her when she needs a shoulder to cry on. My sister's daughter, Sasha, is 18 months and she is soooooooo cute :) She is the apple of my sister's eye. 

As for my love life, I have a significant other. My boyfriend is a bit older than me and we get on brilliantly. We never have rows and we support each other. I absolutely trust him. I guess, I love him because he makes me smile and I feel happy when he is around. We often do things together, go for a walk, or to his parent's dacha, go out from time to time. We enjoy each other's company and feel relaxed around each other.

What about your relationships? If you want to keep your answer in private, you can email your answer to me to salma_sombre@mail.ru or just use your good old copybooks!

Looking forward to your answers!!!

Best wishes,
