Family Happiness

Leo Tolstoy wrote in his famous novel ‘Anna Karenina”: “All happy families are alike”.

I believe it is true. When a family is happy, it means that all the members of the family love each other, tell each other about all they feel and know. The children love and obey their parents. The family plays a very important role in everybody’s life.

So to create a happy family is a difficult problem, but everything depends on us. It is very important to know well not only your future husband or wife. It is also important to know yourself, because family life may show something new (and even not so good) in your own character. Only when each member of the family thinks about the happiness of the others the family will be happy.

НЕ WAS CALM!

It was a dark night. Suddenly a fire broke out in a big house. All the people who lived there ran out into the street. They were standing in the street very much excited.

Suddenly a man came up to them and said, “Why are you so excited? Look at me, I am not excited. I am calm. When the fire broke out, 1 was sleeping. I got up, put on my shirt and a tie. Then I looked in the looking-glass. 1 saw that the tie was not good. I took it off and put on another tie. Then I put on my jacket and a hat. Only then 1 calmly went out of the room. Look at me! I was not excited and I am not excited”.

One of the men who was listening to him looked at him and said, «Well. But where are your shoes?»

a fire broke out - өрттөнүп кетти; вспыхнул пожар

to be excited - толкундануу; волноваться, быть взволнованным

calmly - тынч; спокойно

I am calm - баары жайында; я спокоен
