However, a recent study by researchers at Oxford University shows that the situation is slowly improving. ‘The researchers asked men and women aged between 20 and 59 to keep a diary of how much time they spent ‘on housework each day. Then the researchers collected the diaries and analyzed them. ‘These showed that women in the UK today spend about four hours and 40 minutes each day doing housework. Men, on the other hand, spend two hours and 28 minutes doing the same things. Although women still spend more time doing domestic jobs, the figures show that the situation has improved. In the 1960s, women spent six hours a day on housework and men only 90 minutes. Researchers say that women are still ding most of the housework because people til divide domestic obs into two areas. They ee cooking, cleaning, and looking after children as women's work; and general repairs, car maintenance, and work outside the home as iments work’ So, in general, the results ofthe study bring good news, for women. The difference between the amount of time men and women spend on houseworkis getting smaller every year. This means thatthe time will come when both sexes share domestic has) equally.

He was wearing.a suit and he looked quite respectable, ‘Do you speak English?" he asked. He had a French accent, but he said he was a banker from Monereal in the French-speaking part of Canada. Then he told me he had a problem. ‘I'm here in Paris with my wife and our three children, and we don't have enough money for a hotel. You see, my wife tried to get money from a cash machine, but she couldn't remember our PIN number, She used the wrong ni times, so the machine kept her card, Could you help me?" I wasn’t sure, so Lasked to see his passport. ‘My passport is with my wile. She's waiting in a café with the children. We only need €65 for the night and I promise I'll pay you back.’ By th tually crying, so I thought he was telling the truth. 1 agreed to lend him the money and I wrote down his name, email address, and phone number in Montreal.

The truth about mothers-in-law Although its men who tll jokes about them, mothers-in-law are usually less popular with ther daughters-n-low than with thelr Sons-n-law-A.recent study of 49 married coupes found that two thirds of wives interviewed seid that thelr mothers-n-aw caused them unhappiness and Stress, compared with 15% ofthe husbands. There are a number of reasons for this. First of all, there is the question of experience. A mother-in-law has already brought up a family of her own, so she feels that she has a lot af knowledge to pass on, In this situation, itis very difficult for her to keep quiet. However, when a daughter-in-law isa rnew mother, she usually wants to find her own way of doing things. She often interprets her mother-in-law’s advice as criticism, which can cause a conflict Secondly, there isthe case of the husband. Both women ‘are for him, although each of them loves him in a different ‘way. On the one nang, he is the mother-in-aw’s son and she obviously wants the best for him. On the other hand, he is the wife's partner, and she wants him to support her. Both ‘women can get very upset if they see the man taking sides, and this can cause an argument. However, mothers-in-law actually have alot to offer, despite their reputation for causing trouble. They are generally excellent babysitters, and they don't mind helping with the housework. As long as they have their own independent lives and help out only when needed, mothers-in-law can play a very useful role in any fami. The important thing is that they should not get too involved in their sons’ and daughters’ relationship so that nobody feels bad. Read the article again and choose the best answer. 1 What did the study find out about mothers-in-law? 2 More men than women have problems with them. b- More men than women tell jokes about them. © More women than men have problems with them. 2 What advice do mothers-in-law try to give their ddaughters-in-law? a. How tolook after their husband, b Howto bring up children. How to do housework 3. According to the article, which situation makes danghters-in-law angry? a When their husband agrees with his mother. b When their husband talks to his mother. ¢ When their husband argues with his mother. 4 Which women make the best mothers-in-law? a Those who are really close to their son.
