FAMILY (PART 1&3 QUESTIONS WITH SAMPLE ANSWERS)

QUESTIONS RELATED TO FAMILY
Do you come from a large family?
Answer: My immediate family is not very big. I have a large extended family that
includes many uncles, aunts, and cousins. We are a close-knit family, and we like to
keep in touch with one another, so birthdays, and other celebrations, are noisy crowded
affairs.
When was the last time you had a family function?
Answer: Our extended family got together last year to celebrate my grandfather’s
eightieth birthday. He is very dear to my heart. He has kept up healthy relationships
with the whole family, so it was a happy occasion that we all enjoyed.
Would you take a friend on a family holiday?
Answer: I have. My family and my best friend got to know each other quite well, as
she visited me quite frequently at my home. My family believes that we should nurture
our friendships, so they encouraged me to bring my friend along when we took a
seaside holiday last year.
How do you spend the time with your family?
Answer – I am a person who always likes to spend astonishing moments with my

close ones. Because they are my strength and backbone, they always try to reduce my
tension and help me focus on my tomorrow. In addition, when every we had leisure
time we share jokes, food and watch movies together.
Do you want to live with your family in the future?
Answer – Of course, as I mentioned earlier, they are my backbone. As a nuclear family

member, it is my responsibility to take care of my family members. Our culture and
tradition insist that.
Are you close to all of your family members?
Answer – Definitely, from my childhood itself, I tried to share everything with my

family members. It is inevitable and essential to the bonding between family members.
These help to for healthier family atmosphere.
How has your family influenced you?
Answer – My family members influenced me in numerous ways. That always supports

and encourages me in every imperative situation in my life. In education, jobs, marriage,
and financial environments, they deliver the proper suggestions. That helps me to
understand and solve the issues wisely. However, they show courage to refute few
situations.
Part 3 questions
In what ways have families in your country changed recently?
Families have changed from joint to extended. This change has mostly been out of
compulsion rather than choice. Young people are getting jobs in metros and in foreign
countries. So, they leave their parents behind. However, these nuclear units are well
connected to each other.
Should husbands and wives have different roles within the family?
Gender differences are disappearing these days and both husband and wife have to
work outside for making a comfortable living. So, roles within the family should ideally
be the same. However, these changes will take some time to implement. Women are
yet supposed to look after household chores more than men despite being out of the
home for the same time as men.
Which are more important to you: your family or your friends?
Both are important to me, but family definitely has an edge over friends. Friends can
turn out to be fair weather friends, but family is always there through one’s thick and
thin. It has been rightly said that ‘in times of test, family is best’.
Is it important to visit family members?
Yes, it is really important to meet the family regularly. I think family defines us and
family is what supports us and stands with us in bad times. However, I think this
selfless bond only stays if we remain in contact with each other.
What are the values of family in your country?
The think the main values of family in my country are respect for elders and
prioritizing the needs of the family over our individual needs. That is why, in my
country we think in we rather in I, for example we own a house, we own this car.
Why is family bonding necessary for happiness in life?
Family bonding is necessary for happiness because it gives us security. I mean it

makes us feel that we are not alone, there is someone behind us.
Do you think the support from a friend is different from the support of a family
member?
I think certainly. There is an element of selflessness in family relationships, which I

feel is missing when it comes to supporting from friends. Also, it doesn’t create a
burden. What I mean is we do take help from friends but then it also makes us feel
that we have to repay it. This feeling doesn’t come in the case of family.
Who should be more responsible for educating the children in a family?
I think both parents should be equally responsible. However, I also believe that both
parents necessarily don’t teach the same things. For example, both boys and girls learn
gender-appropriate behavior from fathers, while they love more about loving, sharing
and caring from mother.
Do you think there are differences between how men and women care for children?
Yes, there is certainly a difference. In my country, fathers are generally stricter, and
they don’t show their love openly. Mothers are much more open in showing their love
and affection. I think it’s hard to define the difference, but I certainly feel there is a
difference.
Do your parents do household chores equally?
Yes, my parents are very particular about household chores. For example, my father is
responsible for buying vegetables from the market daily. He also makes breakfast and
tea, while my mother makes lunch and dinner. I also have the responsibility of taking
out the trash in the morning and feeding the dog. We have a maid for cleaning and
other things.
