IELTS Speaking Part 3: Attitudes to Family (Sample Questions and Answers)

Attitudes to family

47. In what ways have families in your country changed in recent years?

In the past, people in my country used to live with their extended families, but now most people live with their nuclear families. Besides that, about 50 years ago, people used to have 8 to 10 family members in a family, but now the situation has changed. Parents are now giving birth to few children.

48. Should husbands and wives have different roles within the family? Why (not)?

Though husbands and wives used to have different roles in the families, things have changed now.  I think it has been a positive development. It is wrong to deprive wives of pursuing their professional careers, and husbands should be performing the household chores to help their wives.
