Lesson 1.
2
Family.
3
Let's begin our study of collocations by learning some common expressions about the family.
4
Your parents and siblings, brothers and sisters, are your immediate family, and your extended family includes all your relatives,
5
uncles, cousins, great-aunts, etc. You can use a family tree to diagram the relationships among your family members.
6
A person who is related to you by a long series of connections can be called a distant relative.
7
If you're lucky, you have a loving family or a close-knit family.
8
These expressions refer to a family that has good relationships, where everyone loves each other and helps each other.
9
If you were raised in a loving family, then you probably had a carefree childhood.
10
That means you had nothing to worry about when you were young.
11
On the other hand, a family in which the relationships are bad or unhealthy can be called a dysfunctional family.
12
If the children experience abuse, poverty, or problems with the law, we can say they had a troubled childhood.
13
Perhaps the parents went through a bitter divorce.
14
That means a separation in which there were bad or angry feelings between the husband and wife.
15
It's also possible to have a messy divorce,
16
with a prolonged legal battle involving lots of conflicts about the separation of the former couple's assets, money and possessions.
17
The decisions about the separation of assets are made in the divorce settlement.
18
A family in which there are divorces or separations is sometimes called a broken home.
19
Sometimes the mother and father fight over custody of the children.
20
That refers to who has the primary responsibility of caring for the kids.
21
A judge can grant joint custody.
22
That means the ex-husband and ex-wife share the responsibility, or sole custody to only one parent.
23
For example, a judge might award sole custody to the mother,
24
and the father has to pay child support—regular payments to help with expenses for the kids.
25
If it was a mutual divorce or separation—that means the ex-husband
26
and ex-wife agreed to separate without fighting—then they will probably stay on good terms with each other,
27
meaning to have a polite relationship without conflicts.
28
If a woman gets pregnant without being married or in a relationship, then she will become a single mother.
29
Some women in this situation choose to have an abortion, and others prefer to give the baby up for adoption.
30
The time when the baby is planned to arrive is called the due date.
31
you can also say the baby is due in mid-October, for example.
32
After the woman has the baby or gives birth to the baby, the baby is given to the adoptive parents who will raise the child
33
or bring up the child as if it was their own.
34
Sometimes when the adopted child is older, he or she tries to find their birth mother, biological mother.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
