My younger brother also has his duties about the house. He helps mother to set the table and wash the dishes. We don't have such problems as misunderstanding between the members of the family. I think that it is due to the age of my parents and their character.
2. Are there any things that you do with your parents together? It’s a pity, but my parents and I are usually very busy during the weekdays and we seldom have a chance to spend time together. Sunday is the day when we can sit at a table and talk over everything that happened during the week. Eating together makes us feel close and we often have our most frank conversations at these times.
3. What will you ask your British friend about his/her family relationships? Have you got close relations with your parents? How often do you have misunderstandings with your parents? What do you usually do to solve the problems in your relationships?
4. What can you advise a person who wants to have a close and happy family? First of all I can advise for anyone to try to understand the feelings of your parents and show respect to them. Even if you don’t agree with their thinking, try to make them understand politely, don’t use harsh words with them which may hurt. It’s important to celebrate your parents’ and grandparents’ birthdays. It will make them realize that you care for them.
5. Nowadays an average family has one child. From your point of view, how many children should there be in the family? It’s sad that families are getting smaller these days. I think it’s so great to have a sister or a brother. To my mind there should be two or three children in a family. You will never feel lonely in a big family. These are people who are committed to one another.

FRIENDSHIP and RELATIONSHIPS with FRIENDS
1. Let’s talk about friendship. What role do friends play in your life? As we live in society, we meet a lot of people during our lives. We communicate with all these people, but our attitudes towards each of these people are different. Usually I classify people I know as acquaintances, friends and close friends. I'm going to tell you about the best friends of mine. They are Victor Danilov and Dmitri Petrov.
Victor is a good-natured guy of medium height, strong in body, light-haired with light blue eyes. Usually he is the life and soul of the party. Victor is fond of foreign languages. Not so long ago he decided to study English. He worked on it persistently, and now he speaks English well. Victor also likes music. He is a good singer; he plays mouth organ and dances better than Michael Jackson.
Dmitri is rather slim, not very tall, his hair is brown, and his eyes are grey. Usually he wears T-shirts with emblems of football clubs. He is an enthusiastic football fan. Dmitri is an extremely sociable person. By means of e-mail he corresponds with many people from different countries. They discuss political and economic issues. Dmitri is also interested in philosophy. He often cites Confucius's utterances.
My friends are very interesting to talk to. Both of them possess great charm, they are both very clever and educated guys, they are open-hearted and social, well-mannered and tactful. I respect them for their fairness, strong will, intellect, and modesty. People usually like them. I'm happy to have such friends as Victor and Dmitri.
2. Can you rely on your best friends? Everyone knows the proverb “A friend in need is a friend indeed” – according to the old saying a good friend should always help us in difficulties, cheer us up and raise our spirits when we are down, troubled or when nothing is going right. Trust is the most important aspect of any relationship. I believe I can trust my best friend and rely on him.
3. What questions do you usually ask when you want to get acquainted with someone? Have we seen each other before? Where are you from? How do you usually spend your holidays?
4. What can you advise a teenager who has no friends? Frankly speaking it’s not a usual case. Probably, a person with such problems needs advice on behalf of a psychologist. But if someone asks me to help, I will recommend her or him to join some kind of a club or a society to meet people with the same interests.
5. They say: “A person has just one true friend”. What do you think about this? In the reality there are very few true friends. A real friend, on the other hand, is usually one person who shares your life. You can rely on your friend to tell you the truth, even if it’s not always fully pleasant. True friends are hard to find, and are worth holding on to. They are worth more than gold.
