VII.E-C Translation (15 points)

Children are encouraged to ”leave the nest“ at certain age and begin their own life. After children leave home they will establish social relationships and look for financial support outside the family. Usually parents do not arrange marriages for their children. Yet, even if children choose their own husband or wife, they still hope their parents will approve of their choices.

In many families, children are encouraged to make major life decisions themselves. Living away from parents does not mean that parents and children do not love each other. Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in American families.
