TEXT 3
Years ago it was important to have large families. The best Victorian mother was the mother who had the most children. The hest Victorian father was the father who had the most sons. It was important to have many children. If you were rich, you needed sons to inherit your land, houses and money. If you were poor, you needed sons to help you with your work. Rich or poor, you needed daughters to help you with a large household.
Not only children were important. Everybody in the family was important.' f he large family gave people a sense of stability.
Now things arc different. Young people leave (he place where they lived with their parents and take their own families (wife and children) with them, "their own family becomes more and more important as they forget their other relatives. In Britain, families are getting smaller and smaller. People have fewer children because children are expensive. Who can afford more than three children? Who can afford a large house for them? Many people believe that two children will be ideal for an English family.
There is another problem now. Britain is a small country where 56 million people live. Seven million of those live in London. People can't have big families when they live in a small country.
Now people get more and more isolated. Sometimes they live very close to other people but don't know them. They have only each other to talk to.
What is the future of the family?

TEXT 4
Do you know that people began to use surnames which accompanied their first names of John or Henry only in the tenth century? At first, only rich people in France and England had surnames. And three centuries later other people began to use surnames.
The most popular, perhaps, arc the surnames ending in the word "son". If somebody wanted to point out one John among several, he said "Tom, John's son". You see at once how later it became Tom Johnson. And when you think that it may be David's son, or Jack's son, or Will's son, or Dick's son, you understand why there are so many names ending in "-son".
Another way to point out a person was to say Tom the smith, or Dick the tailor, giving his occupation. Soon they got the surnames Tom Smith, or Dick Tailor.
Some of the names come from the names of the places where people lived. For example, the name Moore goes back to a man who lived on a moor.
The fourth way in which names began is illustrated by such a name as Longman. The first person who got his name was, perhaps, a long man.
Sometimes when people wanted to describe a person they used the color of his or her dress, hair and soon, for example: White, Black, Brown, Green.
