The difference between the nuclear family and the extended family is that a nuclear family refers to a singlebasic family unit of parents and their children, whereas the extended family refers to their relatives such as
grandparents, in-laws, aunts and uncles, etc In many cultures, and particularly indigenous societies, the latter
is the most common basic form of social organization
A nuclear family is limited, according to Kristy Jackson of Colorado State University, to one or two parents(e.g a father and mother) and their own child, or children, living together in a single house or other dwellings
In anthropology, they only must be related in this fashion; there is no upper or lower limit on the number ofchildren in a nuclear family
The extended family is a much more nebulous term, but in essence refers to kin or relations not covered bythe above definition In historical Europe and Asia as well as in Middle Eastern, African, and South AmericanAboriginal cultures, extended family groups were typically the most basic unit of social organization The termcan differ in specific cultural settings, but generally includes people related in age or by lineage.Anthropologically, the term “extended family” refers to such a group living together in a household, often with
three generations living together (grandparents, parents, and children) and headed in patriarchal societies by
the eldest man or by some other chosen leadership figure However, in common parlance, the term “extendedfamily” is often used by people simply to refer to their cousins, aunts, uncles, and so on, even though they arenot living together in a single group
Historically, most people in the world have lived in extended family groupings rather than in nuclearfamilies This was even true in Europe and in the early United States, where multiple generations often livedtogether for economic reasons During the 20th century, average income rose high enough that living apart as
nuclear families became a viable option for the vast majority of the American population In contrast, many
indigenous societies and residents of developing countries continue to have multiple generations living in thesame household The rise of the nuclear family in the modern West does not necessarily mean that familyarrangements have stabilized, either The rapid growth in single-parent households, for instance, also represents
a substantial change in the traditional nuclear family More couples are also choosing not to have children at all

The weather is a national obsession in Britain, perhaps because it is so changeable It's the national talkingpoint, and most people watch at least one daily weather forecast Most of the viewers imagine that the presenterdoes little more than arrive at the studio a few minutes before the broadcast, read the weather, and then gohome
In fact, this image is far from the truth The two-minute bulletin which we all rely on when we need to know
tomorrow's weather is the result of a hard day's work by the presenter, who is actually a highly-qualifiedmeteorologist
Every morning, after a weather forecaster arrives at the TV studios, his/her first task of the day is to collectthe latest data from the National Meteorological Office The information is very detailed and includespredictions, satellite and radar pictures, as well as more technical data After gathering all the relevant materialfrom this office, the forecaster has to translate the scientific terminology and maps into images and words whichviewers can easily understand The final broadcast is then carefully planned The presenter decides what to sayand in what order to say it Next a “story board” is drawn up which lays out the script word for word
The time allocated for each broadcast can also alter This is because the weather report is screened after thenews, which can vary in length The weather forecaster doesn't always know how much time is available, whichmeans that he/she has to be thoroughly prepared so that the material can be adapted to the time available
What makes weather forecasting more complicated is that it has to be a live broadcast and cannot be recorded Live shows are very nerve-racking for the presenter because almost anything can go wrong Perhapsthe most worrying aspect for every weather forecaster is getting the following day's predictions wrong
pre-Unfortunately for them, this is not an unusual occurrence; the weather is not always possible to predict
accurately
Trang 6These days, a weather forecaster's job is even more complicated because they are relied upon to predict otherenvironmental conditions For example, in the summer the weather forecast has to include the pollen count for

Dịch bài đọc:
Quay trở lại những năm 1960 và 1970, thế giới ngày càng nhận thức được tác động tàn phá của ngành công nghiệp đối với môi trường và mọi người bắt đầu suy nghĩ nghiêm túc về các cách bảo vệ môi trường Có một người đàn ông đặc biệt bị ảnh hưởng bởi chủ đề này là Gerard Morgan-Grenville Khi Morgan-Grenville đilàm ăn kiếm sống như một người làm vườn, ông nhận thấy những dấu hiệu của sự thiệt hại đã xảy ra ở vùng nông thôn xung quanh anh ta Không lâu trước khi Morgan-Grenville quyết định rằng ông phải làm gì đó trong tình huống này Ông cảm thấy rằng nếu mọi người có thể được chỉ bảo một cách sống tốt hơn thì có thể họ sẽ quan tâm đủ để cố gắng bảo vệ môi trường vô giá của họ
Trang 12Ông Morgan-Grenville đã quyết định thành lập một dự án chứng minh điều gì đang xảy ra với môi trường xung quanh của chúng ta và những gì chúng ta có thể làm được Vì vậy, năm 1975, Morgan-Grenville đãtạo ra Trung tâm Công nghệ Thay thế (CAT) tại một ngôi làng ở xứ Wales.
Mục đích chính của CAT là tìm kiếm một lối sống sinh thái tốt hơn bằng cách sử dụng công nghệ khônggây tổn hại cho môi trường Một trong những điều quan trọng nhất mà ban đầu CAT đã làm là khám phá và thực hiện một loạt các kỹ thuật và để tìm ra cái nào có tác động phá hoại ít nhất trên thế giới xung quanh chúng
ta Hơn nữa, CAT cung cấp thông tin và lời khuyên cho mọi người trên khắp nước Anh và trên toàn thế giới.Nếu ngày càng có nhiều cá nhân được thông báo về mức độ thiệt hại mà lối sống hiện đại của chúng ta đang gây
ra cho hành tinh, có thể nhiều người trong số họ sẽ chuẩn bị để tìm kiếm các giải pháp thiết thực cho các vấn đềmôi trường
