 Read the newspaper article and answer the question below.
The future of the family
In many countries around the world,
the family patterns have changed a
lot. These changes have been
produced by many factors.
The most important factors among
these are science and technology,
expansion of towns and cities,
employment of men and women both
within organizations outside family
influence and economic difficulties
causes by recent recession. In most
foreign countries, It has been always
the norm that young adults move out
of the family home once they start
university or get their first job.
What is the article about?
Eng101 New Language Leader Level 1 6.2 The Family
Yet today, the situation is very different.
More and more young people are choosing
to live with their parents. If this trend
continues, we will see more multi-
generational family units.
Another interesting trend is the change
from living as a traditional nuclear family
to extended family.
Nuclear family is defined as parents and
their minor children who are living under
one roof. An example of a nuclear family is
a mom, dad and their kids. It is said that
nuclear family provides children
with consistency in caretaking.
Whereas, extended family defined as
person's relatives outside of the immediate
circle of his children.
The article is about living in multi-generational households.
An example of extended family is
grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.
It said that extended family provides
support and sharing worries and
responsibilities with other members of
the family .
Recent studies show that living in a
house where three generations are living
together is a privilege for grandparents
as well as for young people.
The study also shows that being with
young people is beneficial to the heath
and wellbeing and also found that
teenagers, too, are happier when
grandparents involved in their daily
lives.
All in All, if grandparents play an active
part in the upbringing of their grand
children, those children will be able to
handle life diversities.

Grammar
First conditional
Usage “If” is used to talk about the result of a possible future action.

Rule: If-clause(condition) + main clause(result)

If +present simple, will/won’t + infinitive
Example: If you go to university, you‘ll find a good job.
You usually put a comma after the if-clause.
You can put the main clause first; if you do this, you don’t use a comma.
Example: You will find a job if you go to university.
You can use might and may in the main clause.
Use might instead of will when you are less sure that something will happen.
Example: If I get a good degree, I might apply to a good job.
