Question

Most American families are smaller than the families in other countries. Most American families have one or two parents and one or two children each.

Children in the US will leave their parents’ home when they grow up. They usually live far from their parents because they want to find good jobs. They often write to their parents or telephone them. And they often go to visit their parents on holiday.

Parents usually let their children choose their own jobs. Americans think it is important for young people to decide on their lives by themselves.

Parents ask children to do some work around their house. And in many families, parents pay their children for doing some housework so that they learn how to make money for their own use.
