Generation Z

Between the years 2000-2020, the world has come or believed in the future. This generation is also
called the "crystal generation" at the same time. They are also known as the Z generation, which is
ambitious and moves materialistically, can interpret information more quickly than other
generations (Çetin & Karalar, 2016). Generation Z is self-confident, happy, fit to the team spirit and
likes social service activities and they are more interested in activities than the prior generation and
Generation Z is more conscious. They don’t accept the traditional expressions, investigate them and
search their religious faiths (Özkan & Solmaz, 2015). Generation Z is also known as I Generation.
They are expected to be exceptional future employees due to their natural skills with technology
and easy acceptance of new ideas. Traditional education methods are not suitable for this new
generation. They like activities that allow creativity. They can do a lot of work at the same time.
Their self-confidence is high. They have an entrepreneur spirit and intend to establish their own
business as soon as possible (Seymen, 2017).

WRITING
“Family budget: who must earn money: wife, husband or both?”

The issue of the family budget is always relevant, especially in the early stages of family formation.
A lot depends on it, because we live in a world where it is almost impossible to exist without
money.

It is believed that the ideal family model is created when a man financially meets all the needs of
the family. At first glance, this is a good budget distribution system, especially for women.
However, I do not agree with this outdated position. In my opinion, both partners should earn
money. A joint family budget has many advantages and benefits.

First of all, making money with two people is more profitable. Work on a common budget and its
creation unites. You create it together, take into account the wishes of both parties, find
compromises.
You can also set goals together that you want to achieve and start saving money for a new big
purchase or a dream trip.

Thus,we can conclude that a man and a woman should earn money and form a joint family budget,
because it is modern, efficient and profitable.

LISTENING

З ким ти живеш?
Я живу з мамою, братом і маминим партнером Дейвом. Мої мама і тато зараз не одружені.
Мій тато живе приблизно в 10 милях від нас зі своєю новою дружиною Хелен.Вони мають
дитину Джені.Вона моя зведена сестра.

Який твій брат?

Мій брат? Що ж,його звати Річард.Зараз йому 21.Він на два роки молодший за мене.Він
розумний,але трохи лінивий.Він закінчив школу в минулому році. Він отримував дуже
хороші оцінки. Мої батьки і всі його вчителя хотіли, щоб він вступив до університету, але він
не хотів. Він хотів знімати відео і викладати їх в Інтернет. Але він не дуже старанно працює,
і його відео не користуються популярністю, тому він не заробляє грошей.

Хто твій улюблений член сім’ї?

Напевно, мій двоюрідний брат Джордж. Він син брата мого батька. Ми майже одного віку.
Він всього на місяць молодший за мене. Коли ми були маленькими, наші сім'ї проводили
багато часу разом. Зараз я не живу з батьком, тому я не часто бачу Джорджа і його сім'ю. Але
ми часто спілкуємося в Інтернеті.

Чому ти любиш Джорджа?

Хмм,гарне запитання. Насправді ми дуже різні. Він більш тихий і серйозний ніж я. Він
ненавидить спорт і віддає перевагу читанню та вивченню історії. Я віддаю перевагу науку і
набагато активніший ніж він. Напевно, нам подобається жартувати один над одним. Ми
сміємося над тим, які ми різні. І, звичайно, ми добре знаємо один одного, тому, якщо у нас
погані часи, ми можемо поговорити про наші проблеми.
