Family life in Britain

I have just read an article in my English book. I thought you might be interested because it talks about Family life in Britain. Basically what it says is how the people in Britain are living nowadays. Once the typical family was headed by two parents, but now the number of single-parents is increasing very fast. It is also mentioned that people are generally getting married at a later age now and women do not want to have children immediately because they prefer to concentrate on their jobs. What surprised me was that a lot of people in Britain do not want to get married any more. As for Austria, I think that the situation is different but I'm not sure if it's true, it's just my opinion. I think that most of the people are getting maried and get kids.

More facts about me

Hi, I want to tell you a little bit more about me! I am an aquarius and almost all in the description of aquarius is true for me. I'm a very lively person, strong-willed and honest. I'm serious but I also can be funny and I'm idealistic. Sometimes really just sometimes I can also be aggressive and loud. But thats not often. Just when I'm really very angry about an situation that is not polite. It's not true that I'm often unhappy or dominant and I'm also not shy or independent. I hope now you know a little bit more about me than before.
