Family and family relationship - 1

Hello everyone!

I think we live in such different societies, so let’s get to know each other.
It’s has to be so much interesting!
I suggest starting from families if you don't mind.
Nowadays there are a lot of different types of family in/ Russia. Most usual family consists of mother, father, and children, of course. As I can see, having two children is more usual now, than one or more.
I was lucky mom – I have had “golden couple” – boy and girl😊)) They are adult now.
But situations when mother and child live alone, it’s very popular here too.
I work with children, so I can see difference in relationships of the families. I’m always glad to see when father and mother love each other and their children – such child is more confident and successful in life.
But sometimes the only child is so loved that starts think that he (or she) can do ever he want. He won’t be successful, especially when he will understand that living in the big world and (o! such a pity!) the world doesn’t revolve around him. I know it very well, because I was the only child and till about 10th years old thought that I’m the best :)) It was a great frustration for me when I understood how it works in real life. I remember these feelings till now. So, I think, it’s not very good for person to be the only child. How do you feel about it?
What do you think about generation gap?
As for me, I don’t feel any. I can’t feel myself like old lady and I hope it will be forever😊)) I can say the same about my mother and grandmother. My grandmother passed away when she was 100 years old, but she was interested in books, TV and knitting till her last day (I would like so too).
Now I've decided to change my profession (it’s not my dream to work as a dance teacher when you are old lady). I’m going to learn again and become an interpreter. I hope I could.
My son had promised to help me with money for my studies. We have good relationship with him.
My relationship with daughter is more complicated. Now I see mistakes what I made with her, but it’s becoming better with her growing up.

Be healthy!

Hello everyone!

I think we live in suchvery different societies, so let’s get to know each other.

I would use the word "very" to replace "such."

It’s has to will be so much interesting to share!

"It's has" is not correct because the "It's" included the "has." I think your idea was about the future, so I suggest using "It will . . ." and the "It" that will be interesting is to share information about out different societies.

I suggest starting fromwith our families, if you don't mind.

I think you can say "starting with our families."

Nowadays, there are a lot of different types of familyies in/ Russia.

Most usually a family consists of mother, father, and children, of course.

As I canhave come to see, having two children is more usual now, than having only one or more than two.

I was a lucky mom – I have hadd a “golden couple” – a boy and a girl😊)). 😊 They are adult now.

Before nouns include the articles: a, an, the.

But there are situations when the mother and child live alone, i. It’s very popularcommon here, too.

I think you might mean "common" rather than "popular." Common means that it happens frequently. Popular means it also is liked and preferred by many people.

I work with children, so I can see a difference in relationships of thewithin families.

I think using "within" may be better than "of the" because the relationships are within or inside the family among the family
members.

I’m always glad to see when the father and mother love each other and their children – such child isren are more confident and successful in life.

I think because children is plural (more than one) then "child" needs to be plural as well.

But sometimes theHowever, an only child is socan be loved thatso much that he or she starts to think that he (or she) can do whatever he or she wants.

I think "however" works better here than "but."

HeThe only child won’t be successful, especially when he willor she understand ts what living in the big world and (o!really means and (oh! what a pity!)

Indefinite article is needed -- "a person."

How do you feel about it?

What do you think about the generation gap?

Definite article is needed--"the" generation gap.

As for me, I don’t feel anythat there is any gap.

Do you mean to say that you don't sense a generation gap between your generation and the generation before it and the generation after it?

I can’t feelthink of myself likeas an old lady, and I hope ithat feeling will be forever😊))! I can say the same about my mother and grandmother.

My grandmother passed away when she was 100 years old, but she was interested in books, TV and knitting till her last day. (I would like sofor myself, too).

Now I've decided to change my profession. (iIt’s not my dream to work as a dance teacher when you areI'm an old lady).

I’m going to learn again and become an interpreter.

You could say: "I'm going to study and learn again and become an interpreter."

I hope I couldan.

My son hads promised to help me with money for my studies.

If your son's promise happened before your decision to "learn again," use "had." If the promise happened after your decision to "learn again" use "has."

We have a good relationship with him.

Is the "We" only your self or is it you and your son's father together?

My relationship with my daughter is more complicated.

Now I see mistakes wthat I made with her, but it’ as a parent, but our relationship is becoming better with her growing up.

Be healthy!

It is interesting how English uses the articles a, an, the. If you get the chance to review how these words are used, that might be helpful.

I have not made many comments yet on this platform, so I hope what I have offered proves helpful.

Thank you for your comments. We haven't articles in Russian, so I forget about them very often.

Hello everyone!

I think we live in such different societies, so let’s get to know each other.

It’s has to be so much must be very interesting!

I suggest starting from families if you don't mind.

Nowadays there are a lot of different types of family in/ Russia.

MThe most usual family consists of a mother, a father, and children, of course.

As I can see,I think having two children is more usual now, than one or morehaving more, or less.

You'd say "as I can see" if you were looking at evidence for this. Official statistics, or something. Sounds out of place here.

I think a native would avoid "one or more" because it's a set phrase that means "any non-zero number". 1, 2, 3, 4, anything else. A job application might say "you must provide one or more references". So here it's a little confusing.

I was a lucky mom – I have had a “golden couple” – a boy and a girl😊)) They are adults now.

"have had" is okay, but simple present "had" is probably more natural here. "adult" is also okay, if you intended to use it as an adjective, but it's more natural to use it as a noun.

But situations whenre a mother and child live alone, it’s very popular are very common here too.

"popular" is more like "lots of people like it". People choose it, they're enthusiastic about it.

I work with children, so I can see differences in family relationships of the families.

I’m always glad to see when a father and mother love each other and their children – such cha child from such a famildy is more confident and successful in life.

But sometimes thean only child is so loved that they starts to think that the (or she)y can do whatever they want.

We often use "they" to avoid saying "he or she".

HeThey won't be successful, especially when the willy understand that they are living in thea big world and (o! such a pity!) the world doesn't revolve around them.

Sounds a bit odd. Surely an only child *must* understand this to be successful? But I understand that you mean it's an unpleasant realisation :)

I know ithis very well, because I was thean only child and till about 10th years oldthe age of 10 thought that I’m was the best :)) It was a great frustration for me when I understood how it works in real life.

I remember these feelings tilleven now.

"till" or "until" seems to imply a transition, a change. For example, I remembered them until now; but now, I have forgotten. Wait until I arrive; then, once I have arrived, you can stop waiting. The team had never scored a goal until now; but now they have scored one.

So, I think, it’s not very good for a person to be the only child.

How do you feel about it?

What do you think about generation gap?

As for me, I don’t feel any.

I can’don't feel myself like an old lady and I hope it will be foreverI never do 😊)) I can say the same about my mother and grandmother.

My grandmother passed away when she was 100 years old, but she was interested in books, TV and knitting till her last day (I would like sto toobe the same).

Now I've decided to change my profession (it’s not my dream to work as a dance teacher when you areI am an old lady).

I’m going to learn again and become an interpreter.

I hope I couldan.

My son hads promised to help me with money for my studies.

We have a good relationship with him.

"we" sounds slightly strange here because I don't think you've ever mentioned his father.

My relationship with my daughter is more complicated.

In English we love using possessives, even when it's obvious that of course it's your daughter :)

Now I see mistakes wthat I made with her, but it’s becoming better with her growing up.

Be healthy!

I'm an only child, and I can't imagine what it would be like to have siblings. I'd probably be a completely different person. But I think I turned out alright :)
