READING 
 
A. Read a story about one family. Is your family similar to the 
described one? 
My family is the loveliest family in the world and an important unit 
of the society. A small or a big family becomes of great importance to its 
members and is considered as the strongest unit of the society because 
various families together make a small society. A family becomes the first 
school to the children where they receive culture, traditions and most 
importantly the basic values of life. A family plays a great role in teaching 
good manners and habits to the new comers in the family. It helps in 
nourishing a better character of a person in the society. I believe to be the 
most fortunate person to be born in a small family where I learnt 
everything in the early childhood. 

Actually, I belong to a middle class family having six members 
(mother, father, grandparents, my younger sister and me). Each of us 
follows the orders of my grandfather because he is the head of the family. 
We really respect and enjoy his commanding position in the family. He is 
a great person because he had performed various adventurous activities in 
his time. He always thinks about our wellness and takes right decision for 
us.  His decision becomes final in all the 
family matters. He sits on the front chair at the 
dining table. He takes our class in the early 
morning and evening to teach us Indian 
cultures and traditions. He is a very cool 
personality and the friendliest person of the 
family, however, everyone of us does not dare 
to go against him. He is a very effective 
person and wins everyone’s heart through a 
nice talk. He is very old but he helps us in 
doing our homework because he was a teacher. He teaches us the tools of 
success in life such as discipline, punctuality, cleanliness, moral, hard 
work and continuity. 
My grandmother is also a nice woman and tells us stories every 
night. My father is a principal of the school and likes discipline very much. 
He is very punctual, sincere and hardworking in nature. He also teaches us 
that when you eat time, time will really eat you one day so never waste 
time and use it in positive ways. My mom is a sweet and very simple 
housewife. She cares about every member of the family and makes happy 
environment in the family every day. She gives special care to the 
grandparents and kids as well as always helps poor and needy people in 
the society. From our childhood, we have always been taught to love and 
respect elders and help needy people on our way. My sweet small family is 
really full of love, care, peace, prosperity, and discipline. 
 
B. Decide whether these statements TRUE, FALSE or NOT 
STATED. 
1. 
A kindergarten becomes the first school to the children.  
2. 
The children receive the basic values of life walking with their pal 
friends. 
3. 
The joint family follows principles of equitable economy and teaches 
quality discipline to respect and shore burden of the members. 

4. 
There is a big chance of separation in the joint families because of 
imbalance of feelings of generosity, brotherly love and feeling of oneness. 
5. 
My father is a teacher of school. 
6. 
We all live together in a three- room flat. 
7. 
Our parents don’t always agree with what we say, but they listen to 
our opinion.
