3a. Listen and read along what psychologists write about family life. Say who:

1) recommends you show an interest in your family members and do things together;

2) thinks that you should compromise, as winning an argument, you might lose something more important;

3) advises you to make sure you do not offend your family members when you sort out family problems;

4) recommends that you do not blame the other person for the conflict, but address their act or the event;

5) advises you to avoid being rude when you disagree with your siblings or parents.

A. Tom Edmonts (University of Calgary)

Family life can be difficult at times. You can't choose your family, yet they're with you for life so it's important to find a way to work through your problems. Whether you're having a difficult time sorting out family problems, or perhaps you're just not getting on well with your brother, sister or parents, there are things you can do to improve the situation. You need to think about what you do or say. In family gatherings, you need to be on your best behaviour so that you do not offend family members.

B. Ann Carrol (University of British Columbia)

Respect your parents. Do this not just by giving them respect, but by listening to what they say and doing your best to make them happy. Realize that you may be able to choose your friends, but you're born to your family. When you are talking or discussing a problem with a family member, you need to fully listen and understand what they are saying. Do not interrupt (перебивать) them, do not blame the person directly for the conflict. Instead, what you need to do is address the act or event that leads to the conflict. When talking, make sure you use a normal tone of voice and talk to them in a loving and respectful way.

respect (v) – respectful (adj)

C. Frank McKenzie (Australian National University)

Try to compromise whenever and wherever it's possible. When winning an argument you lose respect and love, your victory is fake. When you see that the people who you love most are happy, you will have a feeling of great happiness. Dealing with family members, you need to remember that you should treat them the same way that you want to be treated. Make sure that you do not offend family members. Always be polite! Use words and phrases such as please, thank you, I am sorry, I was wrong, I love you, you're welcome to sound polite, loving and to show you're ready to compromise.

D. Sara red (University of Canberra)

You are not always going to agree with your family members, many times you and your family members are going to disagree or even quarrel about a variety of things. Make sure that you do not offend family members. Be careful when disagreeing with them. The best way to do that is always to be respectful. Always make eye contact when you are talking to them and avoid being rude and hard. And remember that no matter how old you are, you are still a child for them!

agree (v) – disagree (v) – disagreement (n) – disagreeable (adj) = unpleasant

E. Alan Rogers (Alabama State University)

Communicate! Show (an) interest in what life was like for them when they were growing up. Try to relate their experiences to your own. Also, show the same interest in what they are doing now. Does your parent work? If so, ask about their work. Take part in family activities, such as birthdays or visiting elderly relatives. Doing things together makes relationships stronger. Eat together. Modern-day life makes this virtually impossible to do, however, it really does change your family life greatly – for the better.
