So the husband of your sister becomes you brother-in-law,while the sister of your husband becomes your sister-in-law.

If your father marries a second wife,she becomes your step-mother.Any children she already has become your step-sisters or step-brothers. Your mothers second husband becomes you step-father.Families may be classified into a number of different types.The most recognized of these families is the so-called nuclear family,which consists of a husband and wife and their biological or adoptive children.A family that includes is one household near relatives in addition to a nuclear family is called an extended family.It is a big family consisting of are least three generations living together.The head of the family is usually the oldest man.More often than not,such family consists of grand-parents,their sons and their sons families.A single-parent /one-parent family is another type of family. It is a family in which there is only one parent who takes care of the child or children because the parents are divorced,or because one of the parents is dead.Besides,thereare families which have no children.Many childless families choose not to have children because they concentrate on their careers,or like to travel. To replace children,childless families usually have pets instead.But whateve family it is its members will be happy if all of them get along well with eash other,don’t quarrel or argue but help each other both in everyday life and in household chores,when all the duties are organized among all the members and each one has his usual round of duties.Then it will be much easier to run house:to keep the flat tidy,to do the hovering the vacuum clearning,washing up,shopping,to cook meals,to iron the clothes etc.,and then to find some time to have fun together.

Before money, people could not buy and sell. There was trade; but it had to be two-way trade: people exchanged goods. For example, they exchanged food for clothes. With money, buying and selling became two things that could happen at different times and with different people. A person could sell food to somebody on one day and get money for it; a week later, he or she could use the money to buy clothes from a third person.
There have been metal coins for thousands of years. Some of the earlier coins were used in Turkey, and they were made of gold and silver. But this caused problems. People used to take very small bits of metal from each coin. Each coin was then a bit smaller, so people wanted more coins for their goods, and prices went up.
Metal coins were used by the Greeks thousands of years ago. The Greek drachma was made of silver. For hundreds of years, it was the most common kind of money for trade in Europe and parts of Asia. The Greeks even put drachma into the mouths of dead people: they believed the money would pay for their journey to the next world.
The Romans also used silver and gold coins. But the emperor Nero decided to put less gold and silver into the coins in order to make money for himself. After that, nobody wanted to use the coins, and this had a very bad effect on the Roman economy. The world had learned a lesson: money only works if people believe in its value.
Coins can be heavy. (For example, the people of Yap, an island in the Pacific, use stone coins; the biggest were about four meters across!) In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, people did not want to carry large bags of coins with them, so they left the coins with traders. The traders gave them “notes”: theses were just pieces of paper with a promise in writing to pay back the gold and silver coins. Soon, people started to use the notes themselves as money. Later, governments began to control money. They made their own notes for people to use.

Money (part 2)
In 1950, the first credit card was made. It was the Diners Club card, and it could only be used in 200 restaurants in New York. Today, almost all shops, hotels and restaurants in the world take credit cards, so people do not have to carry a lot of coins and notes with them when they travel.
As with anything there are advantages and disadvantages to using credit cards. Advantages:
Immediate Access: Need a new set of tires? Credit can help with an expensive, unexpected emergency and give you the flexibility to pay it over time.
Security: Lose cash, and it's gone. Lose a credit card, and it can be cancelled. Also, if you report a lost or stolen card promptly, you're protected against its unauthorized use.
Record Keeping: Your credit card statement is an itemized list of your monthly expenditures, which can be helpful when it comes to budgeting.
Convenience: Credit cards are accepted at more places than checks, and they're generally faster to use.
Rewards: Using a credit card with a rewards program may earn you benefits like free travel.
Disadvantages:
The main disadvantage to credit card usage is its cost to you in interest and fees. Wise use of credit means understanding those costs and acting accordingly. Keep track of your spending to ensure that you can repay your credit card bill in full when it comes due each month.
