Lesson 1 Family Let's begin our study of collocations by learning some common expressions about the family.

Your parents and siblings, brothers and sisters, are your immediate family, and your extended family includes all your relatives,

A person who is related to you by a long series of connections can be called a distant relative.
5
If you're lucky, you have a loving family, or a close-knit family.

These expressions refer to a family that has good relationships, where everyone loves each other and helps each other.
7
If you were raised in a loving family, then you probably had a carefree childhood.

That means you had nothing to worry about when you were young.

On the other hand, a family in which the relationships are bad or unhealthy can be called a dysfunctional family.

If the children experience abuse, poverty, or problems with the law, we can say they had a troubled childhood.

A family in which there are divorces or separations is sometimes called a broken home.

18
That refers to who has the primary responsibility of caring for the kids.
19
A judge can grant joint custody.
20
that means the ex-husband and ex-wife share the responsibility, or sole custody to only one parent.
21
For example, a judge might award sole custody to the mother, and the father has to pay child support,
22
regular payments to help with expenses for the kids.
23
If it was a mutual divorce or separation, that means the ex-husband and ex-wife agreed to separate without fighting,
24
then they will probably stay on good terms with each other, meaning to have a polite relationship without conflicts.
25
If a woman gets pregnant without being married or in a relationship, then she will become a single mother.
26
Some women in this situation choose to have an abortion, and others prefer to give the baby up for adoption.
27
The time when the baby is planned to arrive is called the due date.

You can also say the baby is due in mid-October, for example.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
