Transcript:
What does family mean to you? In a perfect world, all families should be happy and everyone should get on well together. I know a lot of families that have many problems. Brothers and sisters who don’t like each other, parents who never talk to each other. I wonder why this is. How can you live so close to your family members and feel apart from them? There is a lot of talk in the news about the breakdown of family life.
Divorce is rising everywhere in the world. This means single parents have less time to spend with their children, which creates problems. Maybe the stress of modern life puts too much pressure on families. It seems as though family life was better a generation or two ago. Is this true for families in your country?

Gia đình có ý nghĩa gì với bạn? Trong một thế giới hoàn hảo, mọi gia đình nên hạnh phúc và mọi người nên có quan hệ tốt đẹp với nhau. Tôi biết rất nhiều gia đình mà có nhiều vấn đề. Anh trai và em gái không thích lẫn nhau, bố mẹ mà không bao giờ nói chuyện với nhau. Tôi tự hỏi tại sao vậy. Làm sao bạn có thể sống rất gần với các thành viên gia đình bạn và cảm thấy xa cách với họ? Có nhiều cuộc nói chuyện trên bản tin về sự đổ vỡ của cuộc sống gia đình. Ly hôn đang nổi lên khắp nơi trên thế giới. Điều này có nghĩa là những bố mẹ đơn thân có ít thời gian để dành cho con cái của họ, điều dẫn đến những vấn đề. Có lẽ sự căng thẳng của cuộc sống hiện đại đặt quá nhiều áp lực lên gia đình. Có vẻ rằng cuộc sống gia đình đã từng tốt hơn một hoặc hai thế hệ trước. Điều này có đúng với các gia đình của đất nước bạn không?

John Fisher, a builder, and his wife Elizabeth wanted more living space, so they left their small flat for an old 40-metre-high castle tower. They have spent five years turning it into a beautiful home with six floors, winning three architectural prizes.
‘I love the space, and being private,' Elizabeth says. 'You feel separated from the world. If I'm in the kitchen, which is 25 metres above the ground floor, and the doorbell rings, I don't have to answer it because visitors can't see I'm in!'
'There are 142 steps to the top, so I go up and down five or six times a day, it's very good exercise! But having to carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy two bags of shopping from the supermarket at a time. Apart from that, it's a brilliant place to live.'
'When we first saw the place, I asked my father's advice about buying it, because we couldn't decide. After paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful. But we really loved it, and knew how we wanted it to look.'
'Living here can be difficult - yesterday I climbed a four-metre ladder to clean the windows. But when you stand on the roof you can see all the way out to sea on a clear day, and that's a wonderful experience. I'm really glad we moved.'
