VII. Read the text about extended family. Choose the best options.
An extended family is a type of family structure that has more than two
generations, such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and even distant
relatives. This type of family can have both advantages and disadvantages.

One clear advantage of having an extended family is the family togetherness.

With more relatives, there are more shoulders to cry on during difficult times, which
creates a feeling of comfort and protectiveness. Another advantage that an
extended family can provide is that everyone shares responsibilities, such as child
care support, adult care giving or housework sharing. Although the benefits of living
in an extended family are real, it's important to consider some disadvantages this
type of family structure might have. First, because there are many people sharing
the same living space, it might be challenging to have personal space and enjoy
privacy. Second, in an extended family, it might be difficult to make a decision that
satisfies everyone because of different viewpoints and preferences.
Living in an extended family can be beneficial and challenging. It is important to
find a balance between the pros and cons.

VII. Read the text about changes in family roles. Fill in each gap with NO
MORE THAN THREE WORDS from the text.
In the past, the roles of men and women in a family were different from they are
now. Men would be the breadwinners, working outside the home to support their
families, while women would be housewives. For example, in the 1950s, men
worked full-time in manufacturing or other businesses to support their families.
Women, on the other hand, devoted their time to domestic duties such as cooking,
cleaning, and child-rearing. People at the time assumed that a housewife was in
charge of various household chores. However, family responsibilities have changed
over time. Both men and women can now choose their roles within their homes.
For example, the wife can be the breadwinner while the husband manages the
household and cares for the children, or both can work to earn a living.
It may be complicated to describe the change. However, it is apparent that modern
women are now actively involved in their homes as mothers, housewives, and
even breadwinners.

STAY-AT-HOME DADS
For centuries, people believed that a woman's main role was to stay at home, do the
housework and raise the children. Today, however, such responsibilities are shared
between men and women. There is a change in the role that men and women play in
the home. Nowadays, men are not the only ones that make a living and support the
whole family. Because women have greater career options, more of them choose to
work outside the home, and as a result, stay-at-home dads are becoming more
common.
There are several benefits when a father stays at home and takes a more active role
in the family. First of all, he can support his wife by sharing family responsibilities such
as doing the housework and taking care of the children. By doing this, the wife can
concentrate on her job and be able to earn a good salary. People also believe that
fathers' spending time with their children is beneficial to their development. There are
numerous activities in which both fathers and children can participate, such as sports,
cars, tools, and so on. Engaging in such activities encourages a strong connection
between fathers and children.
