When British and American people use the word family                      [taken to, they often mean only, is being weakened] the mother, father and

their children. In a general social context, the family is usually                     [closely involved in, taken to, made most of the]mean this

nuclear family.

Society in Britain and the USA                            [which normally consists of, is traditionally based on, for people to get] a nuclear family living in the same house

and                      [closely involved in, they wanted to start, is being weakened]each other’s lives. Fifty years ago, the typical family was a husband

Young people in Ukraine and Great Britain live different lives.

But nevertheless, their problems have much in common. Probably the most vital problem is choosing a career, which is really difficult. To my mind, the main difficulty is the responsibility you have to take on, because your future life depends on your choice. Also one of the most fundamental problems faced by young people in Ukraine and GB, is unemployment. It means financial worries, frustration and discouragement. Another important problem is the tension which exists between parents and children, or the “generation gap”. I think this problem is inevitable, because every generation is unique in its experiences and values. And parents try to improve their ideas upon their children. One more common problem for young people in Ukraine and GB is love and dating. Some parents today are prepared to give their children some freedom, others are overprotective. For me, the most important problem is that of friendship. Friends are people whose trust and affection you have to win, friendship is art for me We have common interests, likes and dislikes, so having friends is of utter importance for me. As you see, the problems are numerous. Many young people may not be mature enough to cope with them, that's why they go in the direction of crime, drugs, drinking etc. They also compensate for their feelings by revolting against society and adult authority. That's why grown-ups should work together with young people to help them solve these problems. We must remember that the young people are the leaders of tomorrow.

Tenderness, warm-heartedness and respect must always be present in the family ___it friendly.
