What is an extended family according to the woman?
M. Annie, is family life in Britain very different from that in your country?
W. No, I don’t think so. But I have noticed a few differences.
M. Oh, such as what?
W. Well, the family unit seems to be smaller here than in my country. For you, the family is simply Mum, Dad and the children.
M. You have a more extended family circle?
W. Yes. It’s quite common in my country to have a grandmother and an unmarried aunt or uncle living in as part of the family. And we wouldn’t dream of sending an elderly relative to an old persons’ home.
M. You take care of elderly relatives yourselves, I gather.
W.. Yes. We haven’t got all your welfare services and it’s the family’s duty to look after an elderly parent.
M. What about hospitality? Do you think English families do a lot of entertaining?
W. Yes, but in a rather formal way. You don’t like people to "drop in" without a previous invitation, do you? In my country it’s quite usual to drop in on friends and relatives.
M: Have you ever lived in with an English family?
W. Yes. I was an au pair girl for a year, helping with the housework. I learned a lot about English family life then. I’d never realized how fond the Englishman is of his home and family, his garden and his pets.
M. Did you enjoy living in with the family’?
W: Oh, yes. They were very kind. Everybody helped with the washing up, including the children, and we always found time to sip tea and watch television in the evenings !
选项
A、A family with father, mother and the children.
B、A family with a lot of friends dropping in.
C、A family with elderly and unmarried relatives.
D、A family with in-laws and married siblings.
答案
C
解析
