READING

1 Read the article and tick (✔) A, B, or C.


While multi-generational living is normal in many cultures, in some countries such as Britain
and the US, it isn’t very usual. However, homes where grandparents live with their children
and their families in the same house are becoming more common in these countries
because of the economic climate. Here, the members of one extended family explain how it
works for them.

Georgina – Anna’s grandmother


I was really pleased when my son wanted to move back home. I love spending time with
Anna, my granddaughter. She’s a lovely little girl at the minute – so happy and affectionate –
everybody who meets her likes her. It will be wonderful to watch her grow up. I think even my
unsociable husband is enjoying it! We eat together twice a week and, once a month, we
have a family conference – my husband and I, my son and his wife – to discuss how things
are going. We try to respect each other’s space. Having my son here makes me less anxious
about the future, too. At the moment, we’re healthy, but in a few years we’re going to need
more help.

Esther – Anna’s mother


Actually, it’s all working out well! My mother-in-law remembers what it’s like to have young
children, so she’s very patient with Anna and sympathetic to me when I’m tired. She often
just says: ‘Go and rest. I’ll look after her’. I think she wants to give advice about what Anna
eats and what time she goes to bed, but she usually says nothing! And occasionally I ask her
opinion and find her ideas are really sensible. We are all learning to be quite honest with
each other, which I think is a good thing.

Chris – Anna’s grandfather


I prefer a quiet life and a tidy house, and I think young people should be independent, but my
wife loves having the family here. From a selfish point of view, it’s good for me too because
Georgina is quite talkative and now she can chat to her daughter-in-law. I think it’s a very
satisfactory situation for everyone concerned!

Alan – Anna’s father


I was worried because my mother can be bossy, but actually, she is being sensitive and
we’re lucky to have a reliable babysitter in the house! My dad is sometimes moody, but he’s
very affectionate with Anna. We’re planning to buy our own house in a couple of years, but I
think we’ll stay near my parents because the relationship between Anna and her
grandparents is so special.

Example: More people live with their families in England because of the economic climate.
A True ✔ B False  C Doesn’t say 
1 Georgina is looking forward to seeing Anna grow up.
A True ✔  B False  C Doesn’t say 

2 Georgina says that Chris isn’t very sociable.


A True ✔ B False  C Doesn’t say 
3 Georgina doesn’t think she will need her son’s assistance in the future.
A True  B False ✔ C Doesn’t say 
4 Esther cooks for the family twice a week.
A True  B False  C Doesn’t say ✔
5 Esther says that Anna often gets tired.
