Passage 2
The family is important to people all over the world although the structure of the family is quite different from one country to another. In the United States, as in many other countries in the world, the family is changing. A generation or two ago, the traditional family, in which the father was boss, was customary. Now, the modern family, in which both the father and the mother are equal partners, is more common. Although there are several similarities between the traditional family and the modern family, there also exist some very important differences.
In conclusion, the American family of today is different from the family of fifty years ago. In the modern family, the roles of the father, mother, and children have changed as more and more women work outside the home. The next century may bring more important changes to the American family structure. It should be interesting to see.

Passage 3
Though marriage is practiced in almost all countries of the world, the customs are quite different from one culture to another. It is interesting for me to compare the customs of marriage in the United States with those in my country.
I’ve lived in the U.S. for four years now, but I’m still not comfortable with the customs here. In fact, what seems strange to me is that courting or dating is not always for the purpose of finding a husband or wife. Some people seem to do it as a hobby.
Though I can certainly see the advantages of the freedom that is given to American youths to choose whom they will marry and when, I think I still prefer the customs of my home country. I suppose that’s because there is not so much guessing and uncertainty.

It’s spring now. It’s so quiet that you can even hear a pin drop on the floor. There are no birds on the trees. There are no fish in the rivers. It’s the scenery in QUIET SPRING. This book was written by Aford. It shows our future and also shows our serious environmental affairs. We are cutting down the trees, using medicals and also destroying balance as well. The earth is turning slwer and slower. Everyone is afraid of the spring like that —— withour flowers in the sun, without fishes in the river. We must stand as one and save the earth, to return our human beings a new spring. Thanks to QUIET SPRING as a warning bell to us. It’ s a meaning and also my favourite book.
