They were flying over the Alps when the plane started to shake hard. Sheila panicked and wished she had never agreed to go on those trip. “It’s your fault,” she said to Leo. “I wanted to take a train!” Leo asked Sheila calm down. He explained that it was nothing serious and everything would be all right in the end. He also added that statistically plane crashes are much rarer than car accidents on the road. “The same thing happened to me a few years ago. Everything went well,” Leo added. Sheila calmed down a bit. “I really don’t understand how you can be so courageous,” she said. Soon everything was back to normal. “If we travel somewhere next time, we will go by train or ship,” Sheila said.

Understanding between the members of the family and consideration for others are very important in family relationship. Tenderness, warm-heartedness and respect must always be present in the family to make it friendly. Now I’d like to tell you about my family. Our family is not large. We are a family of four: my father, my mother, my younger brother and I. My name is Olga. I am seventeen. I am a school leaver. My younger brother is ten. He is a pupil of the fifth form. He looks like our father. As for me everybody says I look like my mother. I am an ordinary girl of 17. Our family lives in Gomel. We have a nice three-roomed flat on the fourth floor of a multistoried building. My mother is about 40. She looks pretty well. We all love dearly our mum, and are always ready to help her about the house. We try to share our duties. My mother is an economist. The firm she works in deals with trading. My father is an engineer in computers. He is considered to be an experienced engineer. We are very proud of him. My younger brother also has his duties about the house. He helps mother to set the table and wash the dishes. On Saturdays dad joins us in our work about the house. He likes to make or repair something. We don't have such problems as misunderstanding between the members of the family. I think that it is due to the age of my parents and their character.
