please answer the questions in the textbook on page 14, section 4 a-f. Do not give one sentence answers, but explain them by giving evidence and examples.
a. When do children usually leave home?
I think it's when they want to get independent and try to live alone. Some of my friends live alone in big city after they graduated from their high school. But, other friends still live with their family after they get a job. they always say, "I want to live with my family because I do not need to be worried about money." I want to ask them if they are not embarrassing.
b. How many people live in your home?
Five people. My dad, mam, grandma, younger brother and sister. My family do not really get together. My parents work every day, and my siblings go to school and do their part-time job. So, only my grandma stay at our house. Also, I moved out this January for starting to live with my friend because I thought it was the time for me to be independent.
c. Do you have a head of the family?
I think my dad. I hope so. Because , I think, things goes well with my family if my dad has more power in my family. But, my mom deal with whole money for living, so she might be a head of my family financially.
d. Who does the housework?
Usually, my mom does, but she's working too. So, sometimes my grandma and dad help her. I don't think she can hold everything. I know I should help her more, but I'm always lazy when I am at home.
e. Who runs the family?
Actually, my mom. She treats with all money for living. I think most of wives in Japan hold money for their family. How about in U.S.? When I stayed at my American roommate, her mom seemed to run the family because my roommate asked her when she wanted money.
f. How many rooms do you have to sleep in?
I think two rooms. Does the question means how many gueat rooms in my house? Yea, two rooms in my house.

Family
I am really sad that I'll miss next class. *Sigh* So, I'm going to about something about American family that I felt in U.S.
I think American people think family is important more than Japanaese people do. When I was in U.S, many of my American friends always went home for holidays and long breaks. When they see their family that they had not seen for a while, they looked really happy and haged with them. I was very impressed when I saw that because I'd never seen such people at my age who were really happy with their people. In Japan, most of my friends who live alone far away from their family hardly go home. They just go back once a year just when they have to do something important such as their job hunt 0r whatever. Actually, before I went to America, I did not really care about my family because I felt they were pretty annoying. However, Amreican family changed my point of view to family, and now I really think my family is really really really inportant and necessary in my life. I love my family.
Oh, no! I don't wanna miss the speech and presentations next class....
