THE FAMILY IN BRITAIN

THE FAMILY

The typical family in Britain headed by two parent, but this is changing during the twentieth century.There has been a rise in the number of single person.

In the past, people get married and stayed married, but with the divorce many couples without getting married.

Moreover people are generally getting marries at later age now and many women don`t want have children immediately. They prefer to concentrate in their jobs and put off having a baby until late thirties,

The numbers of single parents are increasing.

I think this isn`t different to Spain.

I want to write about birthdays in Britain.

Children invite special people to their party though sending birthday cards .The birthday child will have a party with their friend and family and the visitors to the party bring presents for the child birthday. The present are opened as soon as the children are awake.

In the party children play games such as musical chairs but nowadays, parties tend to sleepovers.

The birthday cake is decorated with a theme there is a candle for each year.

It used to be traditional children have bumps. The number of the bumps given is the age of the child plus one for extra good luck.

I hope you like my topic.

See you soon
