No. 1 is the core family（核心家庭）, composed by the parents and their minor（未成年） children. No. 2 is the couple family（對(duì)偶家庭）, composed by the husband and wife. No. 3

2、is the cross generation family（跨代家庭）, composed by grandparents and their grandchildren. No. 4 is the single family（單一家庭/獨(dú)立家庭）, just a single person constitute this family. No. 5 is the single parent family（單親家庭）, children and their dad or mother constitute the family. No. 6 is the expand family（擴(kuò)大式家

8、ive longer, marry later, have fewer children, and are more likely to get divorced than ever before. Young people leave home earlier, though not necessarily to get married. More women now go out to work, and more people , especially the old live alone, which is really different from China. The nuclea

9、r family (parents and perhaps two children ) gas largely replaced the extended family where many generations live together.,About educating children: In America, they advocate democracy, so parents do not pay attention to section. Their education is free. They give enough right to choose or do anyth
