Read each of the text carefully and do the tasks that follow.

A nuclear family consists of a married couple and their children. Most people are born
into nuclear family (their family of orientation) and then go on to establish a nuclear family of
their own (their family of procreation). The only possible members of a family of orientation are
mother, father, brothers, and sisters. Your family of procreation may include your husband or
wife, sons, and daughter.
The extended family is another term sociologists use to describe family relationship.
Exactly who is considered a member of extended family differs from country to country, but in
the United States the extended family is usually considered to include children, parents, and
other relatives who live with them in the same house or very near by.
Family may also be viewed in term of the number of partners in a marriage. In our
country we have monogamous families – there is only one husband and one wife in a marriage
partnership. In some societies, though, there are polygamous families with more than two
marriage partners. Polygyny is the form of polygamy in which there is one husband and two or
more wives. Polyandry is the form of polygamy in which one wife has two or more husbands.

E. What is the goal of the text?

There are many reasons for both sides of question, “Should we have printed
advertisement?” many people have strong views and feel that ads are nothing more than useless
junk mail while other people feel they are an important source of information.
On the one hand, there are some reasons why we should have advertisements in
newspapers and magazines. One reason is ads give us information about what is available.
Looking at ads we can find out what is on sale and what is new in the market. This is an easy
way of shopping. Another reason is that ads promote business. When shop owners compete each
other the buyer saves money, more people come to their shops and they sell more goods.
On the contrary, some people argue ads should not be put in newspapers and magazines
for these various reasons. Firstly, ads cost the shop keepers a lot of money to print onto paper.
Also some people don’t like finding junk mail in their letter boxes. People may also find the ads
not very interesting. Ads also influence people to buy items they don’t need and can’t really
afford. Ads use up a lot of space and a lot of effort has to be made to make the ads eye-catching.
Ads also take up a lot of room in the papers and I don’t think I find some of them interesting.
In summary, although ads provide people with information, they cost a lot of money to
print. Therefore I think we should not have printed advertisements.
