Nowadays, a fair proportion of people argue as if it is a general truth that the extended family is not more crucial than before. But, to be frank, I cannot agree with them. I hold the opinion that the extended family is as important as, if mot more important than, the nuclear family. My arguments for this point are listed as follows.
main reason for my propensity for the extended family is that, in the extended family, household numbers/members can take care for each other. In China, especially in rural regions, it is very common that extended family are still (are in the domain)/换成dominant. There are three or four generations of family numbers living the same house. /好像不这么说吧,可以写成One family always have three or four generations in the same house they live. For example, the elders will look after their grandchildren, at the same time, the young/youths or the mid-aged/middle-aged family numbers have the ability to foster/foster是培养、养育,一般用在培养晚辈吧,这里是赡养用support their parents or grandparents. In short, it can be said that it is beneficial for family number to get together for living.
Another reason can be seen by every person is that, if family numbers stay together, they can keep in touch with each other in the emotion/不知道可不可以这么说,不过应该去掉the吧?. When a family including/includes the elders, the mid-aged/middle-aged and the young people or the teenagers live together, /后面从起一句they are often inclined to change their feelings/不太明白,可以再确切点,比如聊天可以增进感情或影响彼此对事物的看法. In contrast, the nuclear family, usually consisting/consists of two adults and one child, are/is in deficiency of emotional communication. The adolescences in the nuclear family are almost busy in/doing their jobs, and have no/not enough time to look after their parents and/or other relatives. There is less opportunity for them to transfer their feelings in one family. Therefore, it is a great benefit for family numbers to stay with/去掉 together.|留学|签证|TOEFL|GRE

Furthermore, it is a reality that, in modern society there is a generation gap between the offspring and their grandparents. If they have chance to live together, the elders and their children will spend more time on the emotional communication. Thus, it also contributes to the harmony of society./这个观点不错,学习了留

In a word, taking into account of all these factors, we may reach the conclusion that in the present, the extended family is as significant as, if not more significant than it was. |
