Supply the missinginformation in the following chart.Tapescript:Question: Parent Link is an organization that looks at the problems that parents and children face. Its director, Tim Kahn, told us about the changing roles of parents and children.Tim Kahn: The authoritarian model was one in which the child had no rights and I guess in the 60s and perhaps the 70s many people rejected that and we had the sort of permissive era ---- the age where many parents felt they had to allow their children to do whatever they wanted to do and so in a sense the roles were reverved and it was t he children who were the bosses and the parents who ran around behind them. The ideas that we offer to parents are kind of a third position in which we’re looking at equals, where parents and children are different but equal.Q: What about changes in the male-female roles?T: Society has changed a lot. As well as technology leading to great changes, people’s roles have changed very much, in particular the women’s movement has very much questioned the role of women and led many women to demand a freer choice about who are and how they can be. There’s a lot of frustration with how men haven’t changed, and it seems to me that the more the frustration is expressed the more stuck in and being the same men are and we need to find ways of appreciating men for the amount of work that they have to do in being bread-winners and providers for families and appreciating the efforts men are making to be more involved with their children.Q: Are there any changes you would like to see in the attitude to family life in Britain?T: In the past there were arranged marriages and I wonder if part of having an arranged marriage is know ing that you have to work at it to create the love and that now people are getting married out of love and there’s a kind of feeling that your love is there and it will stay there forever and we don’t have to work at it and when it gets tricky we don’t know how to work at it and so we opt out. I think helping people learn to work at their relationships to make their relationship work would be a significant thing that I’d like to see happening.Part III Family life then and nowA. Answer the questions1.separate2. Smoking, drinking3. collecting4. On the railway5. easy6. Play a lot of games7. go out, 18B. Decide whether the statements are True or False.1. F2. F3. T4. F5. F6. TTapescript:Josephine: We did feel far more stability in our lives, because you see… in these days I think there’s always a concern that families will separate orsomething, but in those days nobody expected the families toseparate.Gertrude: Of course there may have been smoking, drinking and drug-taking years ago, but it was all kept very quiet, nobody knew anything about it. Butthese days there really isn’t the family life that we used to have. Thechildren seem to do more as they like whether they know it’s right orwrong. Oh, things are very different I think.Question: What was your parents’ role in family life?Josephine: Well, my mother actually didn’t do a tremendous amount in the house, but she did do a great deal of work outside and she was very interested,for example, in the Nursing Association collecting money for it. Wehad somebody who looked after us and then we also had someone whodid the cleaning.Gertrude: Well, we lived in a flat, we only had three rooms and a bathroom. Father worked on the railway at Victoria Station and my mother didn’t work,obviously. My father’s wage I think was about two pounds a week and Isuppose our rent was about twelve shillings a week, you know as rentwas --- I’m going back a good many years. We didn’t have an easy life,you know and I think that’s why my mother went out so much with herfriends. It was a relief for her, you know really.Question: Did you have a close relationship with your parents?Josephine: In a sense I would say not very close but we, at that time, didn’t feel that way, we didn’t think about it very much I don’t think. I think todaypeople are much closer to their parents and talk about everything,which we didn’t. Then, of course, we used to play a lot of games,because we didn’t have a television or even a radio and we would playgames in the evenings rather than have conversation, I think.Question: Was there more discipline in families in those days?Josephine: Oh yes, I do think so, yes. We were much more disciplines and we went about as a family and it wasn’t until I was probably about 18 before I would actually go out with any friends of my own.Statements:1. Seventy years ago young people often smoked and drank in front of others.2. Apart from a great deal of work outside, Josephine’s mother also looked after her children and did the cooking and cleaning in the house.3. Gertrude’s father earned two pounds a week.4. Gertrude’s family had to pay ten shillings a week for their flat.5. Young people seventy years ago deeply felt that they did not have a very close relationship with their parents.6. Nowadays people are much closer to their parents and talk about everything to them.Part IV More about the topic: Father’s DayA.While listening, supply the missing words.1)wise, knows2)thankless, provider, enemy3)poorest, richest4)trust, educate5)fourteen, ignorant, stand, around, twenty-one, astonished, learned6)hard, hardships, hardships, through started7)realizes, right, wrong8)baby, woman, woman, back9)need, strong, protectionB.Supply the missing words while listening.Part V Memory test: Brothers and SistersKey to multiple choice questions:1. b2. d3. a4. c5. b6. bTapescript:Woman: Well, my brother was six years younger than I, and er, I think that when he was little I was quite jealous of him.
