Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.
In many modern countries, people think of a family as a mother, a father and their children.
But this is not the only kind of the family group. In some parts of the world, a family group has many
other members. This kind of large family is called an “extended family” or a “joint family”.
The joint family includes all living relatives on rather the mother’s or the father’s side of the
family. It is made up of grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins. They live
together in a large house or in huts built close together.
Early people probably lived in joint families. They had to be part of a large group in order to
survive. The members of the group helped each other hunt. They worked together to protect
themselves from dangerous animals and other enemies.
In China, people lived in joint families. When a son married, he and his wife lived at his
parents’ home. Unmarried daughters remained at home until they married. Chinese children felt very
loyal to their parents. Younger members of the joint families always took care of the old ones.
In India and Africa, some people still live in joint families. The members of a joint family

share their earnings and property. If one member of the group becomes ill or has bad luck, the others
help the person. As in the past, the members of the joint family offer each other help and protection.

introduces herself. And yet she doesn’t seem to talk about deeply important things like politics and
religion. She always starts off with something very obvious like the other person’s job. Very soon
she’s talking as if she’s known the other person for years. I asked her once what her secret was. She
said that the most important thing in a conversation was listening. People love to talk about
themselves, so if you allow them to do so, it’s very easy to keep a conversation going. You have to
listen carefully and ask questions. And you have to look interested,too. So don’t keep looking at
other things in the room while you’re talking to someone.
Another thing that I’ve noticed is that she only pays people compliments. She says: “I like your
hair. Which hairdresser do you go to?” or “You look very well. Have you been on holiday?”
Friendly messages like this seem to provide an easy way into a conversation.
