3)Circle the correct alternative

Sharing Family Responsibilitie

Sharing family responsibilities makes life easier for


everyone, and can afford a family (most /many /more)
time to spend together. It seems like there is so much
more to do these days, and time is a precious
commodity. When sharing family responsibilities, the
burden does not fall on one person, and this leaves
everyone with more time for other things.

Sharing family responsibilities includes housework,


chores, errands and other duties, but it also means
being
( understanding /understand /understood) and helpful
as well, and attitude plays a major part in the way
certain things are carried out. Learning to adapt to any situation and the
willingness to step in when needed is also important when it comes to sharing in
family responsibilities.

Many times incentives helps to motivate and can work wonders as far as attitude
is concerned. While establishing guidelines is essential in accomplishing goals,
(plan / plans /planning) family time together is also important. Perhaps a family

trip, picnic, or other family events could be planned from time(on/ by / to)
time, and will (giving / gives /give) everyone something to look forward to.

Pulling together and helping at home by(shares / sharing /shared) household


chores, yard work, and other obligations will make children (feelings/feel/felt )
needed and important. It will also help partners understand how overwhelming it
is when one person is faced with all of the responsibilities of keeping a family
and a household functioning. Sharing family responsibilities helps a family
respect each other, and even brings them all (closer /close/ closest) to each
other than before.

Script

Allison: I’m almost ready for my granddaughter’s visit. She’ll be here tomorrow and I want
everything to be perfect.

Ola: What do you have planned?

5
Allison: I’m going to spoil her rotten. My daughter is very strict and doesn’t allow her to do
anything that a normal 10-year-old wants to do.

Ola: Like what?

Allison: Well, her time is very structured and regimented. She’s never allowed any time for
just frivolous fun.

Ola: And you’re taking off the shackles.

Allison: That’s right. She can play as much as she wants to for the next week. I don’t want
her to miss out on any experiences just because her mother is overprotective. There will be no
curfews and no time schedules.

Ola: Are you sure that’s a good idea? I’m sure your daughter has instructions about how your
granddaughter should behave and the punishments she should get if she misbehaves.

Allison: You’re right about that. I’m expecting a long list of rules for my granddaughter while
she’s here, but she shouldn’t expect me to toe the line. I’m the grandmother after all, so I have
special privileges. Nobody tells me what to do with my own granddaughter.

Ola: How did a free spirit like you end up with a daughter who is so uptight?

Allison: Beats me.

Ola: She’s not going to thank you for spoiling her daughter, you know.

Allison: I know, but I’m her mother and there’s still a thing or two I can teach her about
raising a daughter!
