Years ago it was important to have large families with many 1(child) so that the family remained strong. If you were rich, you needed sons to inherit your property. If you were poor, you needed sons to help with your work and take it over when you were old. Rich or poor you needed daughters to help with the running of a large household. Not only children were important. Everybody in the family was important: grandmothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, and cousins of cousins. Even when branches of the family quarreled (and they often did) at least they were still there, and that gave people a sense of stability and order. Nowadays, things are 2(differ). Young people move away from the places where they were born, and they take 3(they) immediate family (wife and children) with 4(they). Slowly, they lose touch with their distant cousins and their great-aunts. Their own family unit 5(become) more and more important, as they forget their other relations. In Britain, families have been getting smaller and smaller too. People have fewer 6(child) because children are expensive and they take up room. Who can afford a large house? Who can afford food for more than three children when the cost of living 7(to be) so high? And now, there is the problem of 8(overpopulate) too. We were always being told in Britain that a family should have no more than two children. People can`t have big families when they are living in a small space. So they live in tiny houses or 9(flat) and they get more and more isolated. Sometimes they live very close to other people but they don`t get to know each other. They only have each other to talk to, so they get bored and cross with each other. What is to be done?
