family?
My boyfriend and I are twenty-one and had
been going out for a year. We live in a big city
where there are people from many different
races and cultures. He comes from a culture that
is much more religious and traditional than
mine. This is not a problem for me or my family:
They have always welcomed him into our home.
However, he refuses to introduce me to his
family, and when his brother (who I know) is
around, he pretends we are just friends. Apart
from this we love each other very much. Should
I insist that he introduces me to his family?
A. What do you think is the best solution for each
situation?

5. Can we leave my mother?
I am forty-four years old and have looked after
my elderly mother for a number of years. She
has a few small health problems and is rather
lonely since my father died. Recently, my
husband is desperately keen to go, and both
our children would enjoy the experience, but I
know that
my mother would not consider moving to the
USA, and I am terribly worried about her
coping on her own, as she has no other
relatives nearby. Should I persuade my
husband to refuse the job offer?A. What do you think is the best solution for each
situation?

6. B. Are you good at making decisions or not? If you find
it hard to make a decision, what do you usually do?
Justify your answer
I CONSIDER MYSELF AS A HARD PEOPLE TO
MAKE A DECISION, BECAUSE I ALWAYS THINK
IN PROS AND CONS, AND I ALSO LOOK FOR
THE IMPLICATIONS OF MY DECISIONS SO I
TAKE MANY TIME DECIDING ABOUT
EVERYTHING.
I USUALLY WRITE DOWN IN A PAPER THE
ADVANTAGES OR DISADVANTAGES OF THE
DECISION I AM GOING TO MAKE. I ALSO
LOOK FOR ADVISE FROM A EXPERT PERSON
WHICH IS IN MANY CASES MY GIRLFRIEND
OR MY MOTHER.

7. C. Talk about a big decision or event in your life.
 Making a decision is very important because I experienced it when I
was twelve, my family was very important but something happened
and my parents separated, I was in college in high school, something
hard was on the way, do not know whether to be with my father who
gave me the education everyone who wanted to ensure my career
University and moreover was my mother who struggled to work every
day to get bread every day, I chose my mom because it is the love
that we never question, thanks to their effort and dedication she
finished high school, and now I'm training to become a good teacher.
