1. If you want my opinion, I’m agree because today there are lots of modern families.

2. If you ask me, I tell you that I’m agree, but this is a dictionary definition, because a family is the people who you love.

3. I think that the family is the people who you love, not only the people who you live with.

I live in Cervignano, a small town in the north-east of Italy. In my town there are different types of families. There are lots of nuclear families with a father, a mother and the child or the children.

Unlike the past, now there are also single-parent families because lots of parents divorce, so the children live with the father or the mother. There are the extended families, too, families where the uncle, the aunt or the grandparents live with the other family members together in the same house.
