BRITISH FAMILY
The English are a nation of stay-at-home. «There is no place like home» they say. And when the man is not working he is at home in the company of his wife and children and busies himself with the affairs of the home. «The English man home is his castle» is a saying known all over the world. And it is true.
A typical British family used to consist of mother, father and two children, but in recent years there have been many changes in family life. Some of these have been caused by new laws and others are the result of changes in society. For example, since the law made it easier to get a divorce, the number of divorces has increased. In fact one marriage in every three now ends in divorce. This means that there are a lot of one-parent families. Society is now more toler-
ant than it used to be of unmarried people, unmarried couples and single parents.
Another change has been caused by the fact that people are living longer nowadays, and many old people live alone following the death of their partners. As a result of these changes in the pattern of people’s lives, there are many households which consist of only one person or one person and children.
You might think that marriage and the family are not so popular as they once were. However, the majority of divorced people marry again, and they sometimes take responsibility for the second family.
Members of a family – grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins – keep in touch, but they see less of each other than they used to. This is because people often move away from their home town to work, and so the family becomes scattered. Christmas is the traditional sea-son for reunions. Although the family group is smaller nowadays than it used to be, relatives often travel many miles on order to spend the holidays together.
In general, each generation is keen to become independent of parents in establishing its own family unit, and this fact can lead to so-cial as well as geographical differences within the larger family group.
Relationships within the family are different now. Parents treat their children more as equals than they used to, and children have more freedom to make their own decisions. The father is more involved with bringing up children, often because the mother goes out to work. Increased leisure facilities and more money mean that there are greater opportunities outside the home. Although the family part is still an important part of family life (usually taken in August, and often abroad) many children have holidays away from their par-ents, often with a school party or other organized group.
Who looks after the older generation? There are about 10 million old-age pensioners in Britain, of whom about 750 000 cannot live entirely independently. The government gives financial help in the form of a pension but in the future it will be more and more diffi-cult for the nation economy to support the increasing number of el-derly. At the present time, more than half of all old people are looked after at home. Many others live in the Old Peoples’ Homes which may be private or state-owned.

15. MATHEMATIC CORNER: the history of algebra
1) Algebra is a Latin variant of the Arabic word al-jabr.
2) Since algebra might have probably originated in Babylonia, it seems appropriate to credit the country with the origin of the rhetorical style of algebra, illustrated by the problem found in clay tablets dating back to 1700 B. C.
3) Algebra in Egypt must have appeared almost as soon as in Babylonia; but it lacked the sophistication in method shown by Babylonian algebra, as well as its variety in types of equations solved.
4) The algebra of the early Greeks was geometric be-cause of their logical difficulties with irrational and fractional num-bers and their practical difficulties with Greek numerals.
5) Hindu math solved quadratic equations by complet-ing the square and they accepted negative and irrational roots; they also realized that a quadratic equations has two roots.
