What is а ‘traditional’ family nowadays? With more and more couples choosing not to get married, and with the number of divorces and second marriages increasing, the idea of the ‘traditional family’ (two married parents, an average of two children, grandparents living nearby) is rapidly disappearing in some countries.

I’m Callum, and I live with my parents in Cambridge, in the east of England. We moved here when I was five because of Dad’s job, but my mum comes from the north of England, and Dad comes from Scotland. I’ve got a grandma in Edinburgh and a granddad in Yorkshire. And I’ve got two cousins who live near London, because that’s where Dad’s sister and her husband live. We see my cousins about three times a year, and we go up to Edinburgh every New Year, but I can’t remember when I last saw my granddad in Yorkshire. He

My name’s Trudi, and I’ve got a sister called Beth. Our mum and dad are divorced, so we live with just our mum in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. Our dad has an apartment in the centre of town, and we spend every other weekend there. After school every day we go to our grandma’s house and have a meal there, because our mum doesn’t finish work until six o’clock. She collects us at half past six, except on Wednesday evenings when we g o

I’m Ben, from Portland Oregon, and my family is a bit complicated! I’ve got a sister called Ella, but three years ago my parents got divorced and now both of them are re-married. We live with my mum, Julie, and my stepfather, Bob. Bob’s got a daughter called Daisy, but she doesn’t live with us, she lives with her mom. My father’s name is Pete. He and his second wife have just had a baby boy, Charles, so I’ve got a new half-brother!

My name’s Meera, and I live in Wolverhampton, near Birmingham, in England. I live with my parents, my brother and my sister. My grandmother lives next door. My mum was born here in Britain, but my grandmother moved here from India in the 1960s when my dad was a little boy. My dad has two sisters – Auntie Sunita and Auntie Rani. Auntie Sunita lives in the same street as us, and Auntie Rani lives in Birmingham, which is only 15 miles away. They’re both married, and I’ve got five cousins. We see them almost every week. Someone is always visiting our house, or we go to Birmingham to see them. And two years ago we all went to India to see our family there.

FASHIONS AND FADS MODULE

1. Read the dictionary definitions to find out the difference

between the words ‘fashion’ and ‘fad’.

fashion n. way of dressing, behaving, or doing something that is popular at one time or place.

fad n. an interest or object that is very popular for а short period of time.

2. Look at the pictures and discuss the following questions in pairs:

• How many fashions and feds do you recognize? Find the names of the items using the words in the box.

• When were these items popular? Are they still popular today?

• What do these items have in common? Which of them fit the definition of а fad above?

• Why do fashions and fads change over time?

Hula Hoop Rubik Cube Tamagotchi Aerobics Boombox Corsets 3D Glasses Digital Watch

3. In pairs, make а list of items and styles that are popular today. Decide which of these are fads and which are fashions.

READING

1. Scan the descriptions of the fads. For each fad, find the answers to the following questions:

• Where did the fad begin?

• When was the fad popular?

Hula Hoop

For many years, students in Australia used bamboo hoops in gym class. In 1958, Arthur Melin and Richard Knerr took this idea and made the Hula Hoop, which became one of the biggest fads of all time. Hula Hoops are round, thin plastic tubes that a person usually spins around his waist or arm, jumps through or uses as a jump rope. More than 100 million Hula Hoops were sold by the end of the 1950s. Today, almost 50 years later, the Hula Hoop is making a comeback and can be seen around the world again.

Tamagotchi

The Tamagotchi first became popular in Japan in 1996. It then soon spread to other parts of the world. For people who wanted a virtual pet, the Tamagotchi was perfect. It was a small toy, about the size of an egg, with a small screen and three buttons. On the screen, there was an animal that slapt, played and ate, just like a real animal. The owner used the three buttons to feed, clean and play with it. The animal stayed happy when the owner took good care of it. However, if the animal was not looked fter, it got sick and “died”.

3D movies

In the early 1950′s Hollywood was in trouble as the movie industry had to compete with the growing success of television. As a result, ticket sales were miserable and studios searched for a novelty to get people to return to the theaters. On November 26, 1952, the line of people was waiting to watch a low budget independent feature film called «Bwana Devil» – the first three-dimensional-movie. A year later, the movie House of Wax was released. «House of Wax» caused a “3D” craze throughout Hollywood, with most major studios rushing to show their attempt at the novelty. Unfortunately, those 3D movies often caused viewers to suffer from headaches. The public disappointment was such that Alfred Hitchcock’s «Dial M for Murder», originally filmed in 3D, was released only in 2D.

2. Read the descriptions again and answer the following questions:

Which fad involves taking care of something?

Which fad involves wearing something?

Which fad involves playing with something?

In what ways are 3D movies different from the other fads?

Which of the eight fads do you find the most unusual? Why?
