Give your opinion about the next three statements:

1) Your “family” are the people who care about you, not necessarily your blood relatives.
I totally agree. I think that if, for example, you have adoptive parents and they are kind with you, they love you and they take care of you, they become your real parents. So for me, blood in this case would be something secondary.

2) It’s better to be an only child than to have brothers and sisters.
I’m afraid I don’t really agree. In my opinion, to have siblings is much better than to be an only child because an only child use to be very spoiled as they are the centre of the love and attention of their parents. But if the child have siblings, they have to share those love and attention and they would learn to be more mature and less capricious.

3) When children are young it’s better for one parent not to work and to look after them.
I agree up to a point, but I don’t think this is the real solution. In many cases the mothers are who do this action and it’s unfair because after several years they find problems to reincorporate to their jobs or to find a new one. So, the ideal would be that both parents take care of their children when they are young.

I totally agree.

I think that if, for example, you have adoptive parents and they are kind withto you, they love you and they take care of you, they become your real parents.

Whilst it's not wrong to repeat 'they', this sounds more natural!

So for me, blood in this case would be something secondary.

2) It’s better to be an only child than to have brothers and sisters.

I’m afraid I don’t really agree.

In my opinion, to have siblings is much better than to be an only child because anpeople who are the only child usetend to be very spoiled as they are the centre of their parents' love and attention of their parents.

But if thea child haves siblings, they have to share thoseat love and attention and they wouldill learn to be more mature and less capricious.

I changed the > a here to match the correction in the previous sentence to make it more generic.

3) When children are young it’s better for one parent to not to work and to look after them.

I agree up to a point, but I don’t think this is the real solution.

In many cases it is the mothers are who do this action, and it’s unfair because after several years they findhave problems to reincorporaterying to return to their jobs or to find a new ones.

Usually, we wouldn't say that a person 'reincorporates' themselves, it's more something that one does to an object or another person. The only exception is that you can say that a buisness or a formal body try to reincorporate something into themselves, but here, 'return to' sounds the most natural :)

So, the ideal would be that both parents take care of their children when they are young.
