Three families
In a small village in North Yorkshire, there’s a big old farmhouse where three families live together: Alice and George and their three children, John and Pamela and their two children, and Sarah and her baby daughter.
The adults A up the work between them. George does the cooking, Joe and Sue do most of the housework, Pam looks after the shopping and B the repairs, and Alice takes care of the garden. Alice, George and Sue go out to work; Joe works at home designing computer systems, and Pam, who is a painter, looks C the baby during the day.
Two of the children go to school in the village, but the three oldest ones go by bus to the secondary school in the nearest town, ten miles away. The three families get on D , and enjoy their way of life.
There are a few difficulties, of course. Their biggest worry at the moment is money — one of the cars E replacing, and the roof needs some expensive repairs. But this isn’t too serious — the bank has agreed to a loan, which they expect to be able to pay back in three years. And they all say they would much rather go on living in their old farmhouse than move to a luxury flat in a big city.

Technology is changing our life in different ways. It influences our lifestyle in general, and in particular cooking food has become a lot easier.
In the first place, people are so busy with their work that they don't have much time to prepare food. That is why a lot of people seldom cook from scratch and instead they buy precooked food. Another great way to save time when cooking is to use a microwave oven. It has preset options for cooking specific items, all you have to do is push a couple of buttons and within a few minutes your food will be ready. But the microwave also has contributed to the fact that traditions of preparing food and eating it together as a family are vanishing. Now family members can have their meals at different times.
As for those who like cooking and cook healthy food, there are a lot useful kitchen devices and gadgets now, such as toasters, coffee makers, blenders, food processors, dishwashers and even smart fridges. All these large and small appliances save people time and effort every single day.
