Good afternoon, im Leyre and im going to talk about the family

(families then and now)


Some years ago, families were very different. People had more
children than now, because only the man worked and the woman
had more free time to look after her children.
People had lots of aunts and uncles, but often didnt know theirs
grandparents.
According to a new study, (the) family is changing.
Nowadays, the woman (yo hablara en plural women por
generalizar) is working and she hasnt enough time to look after
her children. More couples are divorced and re-married, so many
children will have a stepmother or stepfather.
Very few children have brothers or sisters, and is very common to
be an only child.
For these reason, im going to talk about my own experience.
I havent got any brothers and sisters, I`m an only child.
In my opinion, it has some advantages. When I was a child, I
hadnt to share any toys, all things were for me and I was more
independent.
But on the other hand, sometimes I felt alone.
If you have some brothers or sisters, they can help you when you
have some problems, and you can feel more sure.
However, Im happy to be an only child, because in my life, I
have received all the attentions of my parents, and I have lots of
friends to share goog times.
I have two cousins, one of them is in her twenty like me, and we
do many things together. My other cousin is younger, but I like to
know new places with her.

In conclusion, my family is an example of a modern family and I


think that in the future there will be more and more single-parentfamilies (lone parent families), and there will be more parents
without children.
Como estas hablando de familias en general quita el the.
