Lesson 4 Chapter 8
Welcome back to the lab! 🔬🥼🧪
In the last lesson we read an article about four different parenting styles and learned what kind of parent behaviour characterises each one.
We listened to a conversation between Aisha and her lab colleagues about their parents and discovered that Aisha's parents were helicopter parents (overprotective parents who wish to control most aspects of their children's lives so that they don't experience harm or negativity).
Can you remember how to define these other parenting styles?
a pushy parent -назойливый родитель
a permissive parent-попустительский родитель
a firm, but fair parent- твердый, но хороший родитель
Match the parenting style with its characteristics:
Permissive parents - set no boundaries and indulge(потворствовать) children too much
Pushy(напористые) parents - set strict boundaries and give children little freedom or praise(похвала)
Firm, but fair (справедливые)parents - set clear boundaries, but also give children freedom and praise(похвала)
What about Sheen and Andrew? Next up we're going to hear more about Sheen and Andrew's parents.What kind of parenting style do you think Sheen and Andrew's parents had when they were teenagers?Let's listen and find out if you're right..
-------------------------------------------.
Part 2:
Andrew, Sheen and Aisha are in the lab talking about their parents.Part 2: Эндрю, Шин и Аиша находятся в лаборатории и обсуждают своих родителей.
Andrew:
Wow, Aisha. I had no idea you were such a rebel before. What about you Sheen, what were you like as a teenager? Андрю: Вау, Аиша. Я и не подозревал, что ты была такой бунтаркой раньше. Что насчет тебя, Шин, каким ты был подростком?
Sheen:
I was quite introverted as a teenager
Как подросток, я был довольно замкнутым..
My mother in particular was very strict and demanding, so I just kept my head down and made sure I got good grades at school because I’d be punished if I didn’t, but sometimes I felt very unmotivated – because I didn’t really have a choice. Моя мама, в частности, была очень строгой и требовательной, поэтому я просто склонял голову и старался получать хорошие оценки в школе, потому что меня наказывали, если я этого не делал. Но иногда я чувствовал себя очень безразличным, потому что у меня не было настоящего выбора
Honestly, sometimes I think living with an army general might have been easier! Честно говоря, иногда мне кажется, что жить с генералом армии могло бы быть проще!
Aisha:
That sounds hard, I’m sorry you were under so much pressure.
Это звучит тяжело, мне жаль, что ты была под таким давлением.
Sheen:
I still have a difficult relationship with her because she always tried to dictate my decisions. У меня до сих пор сложные отношения с ней, потому что она всегда пыталась диктовать мои решения.
I really loved art as a kid and I wanted to be a designer, but my mom wouldn’t let me pursue it. Я действительно любил искусство, когда был ребенком, и мечтал стать дизайнером, но моя мама не позволяла мне этим заниматься.
She insisted that art was “ok to have as a hobby”, but that I should prioritize science subjects if I wanted to make a “respectable living” and “make the family proud”.Она настаивала на том, что искусство "можно иметь как хобби", но если я хочу "получить уважаемое существование" и "принести гордость семье", то я должен отдать предпочтение предметам науки.
She wanted me to be a doctor, like her, but I had no interest in that career, so eventually I settled on physics.Она хотела, чтобы я стал врачом, как и она, но меня не интересовала эта карьера, поэтому в конечном итоге я выбрал физику.
Aisha:
Controlling parents can be hard…what about your dad?
Управлять родителями может быть сложно... а что насчет твоего отца?
Sheen:
Well, my dad was a bit more laid back, but he was quite hands-off and didn’t really like to contradict my mother - to be honest, I think he just wanted an easy life most of the time.Ну, мой отец был немного более спокойным, но он был довольно пассивным и не любил противоречить моей матери - честно говоря, думаю, он просто хотел, чтобы большую часть времени было легко.
What about you Andrew, what was your relationship with your parents like? А как насчет тебя, Эндрю, какова была твоя связь с родителями?
Andrew:
My parents sound like they were the complete opposite of yours.
Мои родители, похоже, были полной противоположностью ваших.
I mean, they did set some firm boundaries for me when I was growing up, but as a teenager I was always fairly responsible and mature, so they could trust me.Я имею в виду, они устанавливали для меня жесткие рамки в моем детстве, но как подросток я всегда был достаточно ответственным и зрелым, поэтому они могли мне доверять.
They gave me quite a lot of freedom and they never tried to interfere too much in my personal life, so I didn’t really have any reason to rebel.Они предоставляли мне много свободы и никогда не пытались слишком сильно вмешиваться в мою личную жизнь, поэтому у меня не было оснований для бунта.
I’m quite different from them, neither of them are scientists, for example, but they always
not a very active"
, so I’m grateful for that.Я довольно отличаюсь от них, например, ни один из них не является ученым, но всегда поддерживал меня в любом, чего я хотел достичь в жизни, за что я им благодарен.
Aisha:
Wow, you’re lucky Andrew. Well, at the end of the day, it sounds like our parents were all quite different and none of us went off the rails, so maybe parenting styles aren’t as important as people think… Вау, тебе повезло, Эндрю. Ну, в конце концов, кажется, что наши родители все были довольно разными, и ни у кого из нас не было проблем, так что, может быть, стили воспитания не так важны, как им кажется...

Sheen's mother used to work in the military. False-She wasn't actually in the military. Sheen is making a point that her mother's attitude towards discipline was more extreme than that of an "army general". I was quite introverted as a teenager.
Sheen's mom didn't allow her to study art at school because...she didn't believe that art would lead to a high status job. What words does Sheen use to indicate that her dad was "not a very active" or "involved(вовлеченным) parent?-Well, my dad was a bit more laid back, but he was quite hands-off and didn’t really like to contradict my mother - to be honest, I think he just wanted an easy life most of the time.
Listen and complete what Andrew says about his parents. -My parents sound like they were the complete opposite of yours. I mean, they did set some firm boundaries for me when I was growing up, but as a teenager I was always fairly responsible and mature, so they could trust me. Andrew says his parents thought he was--trustworthy(надёжный). Andrew became a scientist so that he could be like his parents. False.Andrew's parents are great role models, but their career choices were very different from his own. Well, at the end of the day, it sounds like our parents were all quite different and none of us went off the rails, so maybe parenting styles aren’t as important as people think…
Now it's your turn... 😀
You've seen lots of great vocabulary in this lesson and learned how to talk about different parenting styles.
What were you like as a teenager? Did you have a "pushy parent" like Sheen, a "helicopter parent" like Aísha or were your parents more "firm but fair" like Andrew's?
