PART 2: READING (5 marks: 0.50 each correct answer)

While multi-generational living is normal in many cultures, in some countries such as Britain and the US, it isn’t
very usual. However, homes where grandparents live with their children and their families in the same house
are becoming more common in these countries because of the economic climate. Here, the members of one
extended family explain how it works for them.

Georgina – Anna’s grandmother

I was really pleased when my son wanted to move back home. I love spending time with Anna, my
granddaughter. She’s a lovely little girl at the minute – so happy and affectionate – everybody who meets her
likes her. It will be wonderful to watch her grow up. I think even my unsociable husband is enjoying it! We eat
together twice a week and, once a month, we have a family conference – my husband and I, my son and his
wife – to discuss how things are going. We try to respect each other’s space. Having my son here makes me
less anxious about the future, too. At the moment, we’re healthy, but in a few years we’re going to need more
help.

Esther – Anna’s mother

Actually, it’s all working out well! My mother-in-law remembers what it’s like to have young children, so she’s
very patient with Anna and sympathetic to me when I’m tired. She often just says: ‘Go and rest. I’ll look after
her’. I think she wants to give advice about what Anna eats and what time she goes to bed, but she usually
says nothing! And occasionally I ask her opinion and find her ideas are really sensible. We are all learning to
be quite honest with each other, which I think is a good thing.

Chris – Anna’s grandfather

I prefer a quiet life and a tidy house, and I think young people should be independent, but my wife loves having
the family here. From a selfish point of view, it’s good for me too because Georgina is quite talkative and now
she can chat to her daughter-in-law. I think it’s a very satisfactory situation for everyone concerned!

Alan – Anna’s father

I was worried because my mother can be bossy, but actually, she is being sensitive and we’re lucky to have a
reliable babysitter in the house! My dad is sometimes moody, but he’s very affectionate with Anna. We’re
planning to buy our own house in a couple of years, but I think we’ll stay near my parents because the
relationship between Anna and her grandparents is so special.
