　　话题举例

　　Family similarities

　　1. In what ways can people in a family be similar to each other?

　　Well, there are many ways that people in a family are similar. One way is that they have the same blood; they are all related to each other physically. I think that the other way they are similar is that they live with each other, so they begin to pick up habits and traits that each other has. They can begin to talk alike and react in the same ways.

　　2. Do you think that daughters are always more similar to mothers than to male relatives? What about sons and fathers?

　　Daughters and mothers are naturally closer to each other just because they are of the same sex. They just seem to understand each other better than a father would. Of course there are things about their mothers that some daughters do not want to be like, but usually they are able to come to grips with this issue and develop close bonds. A father and a son can be close; a lot depends on how much time a father is able to spend with his son and how much respect they are able to show to each other.

　　3. In terms of personality, are people more influenced by their family or by their friends? In what ways?

　　Well, of course people's personalities are influenced first by their families, and then later on, when they are attending school, they are much more influenced by their friends.
