Family Size

Over the whole country in the mid-fifties the average family size was 2.3; the lowest unskilled workers and the very poor tended still to have the larger families ,but in a reversal of the trend of the previous half-century, most working-class families were having the smallest number of children, whereas middle-class and upper-class parents were beginning to have slightly larger families. Of all children born in 1955,5 per cent were illegitimate.

It was a commonplace of British sociology at the time that everywhere was converting the extended family of earther times into isolated nuclear unit.In my opinion,this is because the developing of techology, it is no difficult to connect relations by mobile,internet and developed transpot in any case.so people also choice to live in a freedom place without parents and grandparents together.

The Beginning

I arrived at UK on the 13 October,there is one week i study in University of Glamorgan. I am not homesick here, because all of the teachers here are very kind, they hope to help us for all of our questions. and the three young i live together are also very good .And the other reason is that i don't want to believe it is very far between Glamorgan and my home. I do feel that i still live together with my relations and good friends, we also can talk and know everything of each other everyday by mobile and Internet.

I got the academic timetable and went to the course yesterday,but i found that i didn't understand much of the teacher said. it is the beginning of my study life in UK,i should learn how to improve my English and then understand what teachers say instead study some academic skills.Fortunately,teachers,parents and friends support me and told me that everything will go better.so ,i will try my best to do everything well .
