In Britain and around the world, the image of the family continues to change. The traditional; "Victorian
family", in which the man was the breadwinner, the woman the homemaker and the the children
numerous and obedient, is giving way to new ideas about what the modern family should look like.

Transcription exercise 2:

One of the most obvious characteristic of the family is that there are not always two parents. Due mostly
to the rise in divorces since World War II, single-parent families are becoming more and more frequent
and accepted in British society. Usually, it is the mother who takes responsibility for raising the child, and
she has to balance the pressure of earning a living and raising her children at the same time.
