85. Read the texts and match them with the headings. There is one extra title. There were financial disadvantages to staying at home. New clothes and normal hairstyles were luxuries. Outings were only with the family: a walk in the countryside or a picnic. Expensive dishes in restaurants were not available to us and were not even discussed. After the birth of my second child, my former boss asked me if I would return to work. A salary would have been nice, but there was no one else to look after my children until they went to school. Money was less important to me than my family. Also, I would have to pay someone to take care of my children.
86. «I don’t know how you stay at home all day… I would be bored out of my mind», was a comment I often heard when I stayed at home. Was I bored Never I mastered the housework so that I wasn’t a slave to it. Obviously, there was the cleaning to be done regularly but it was the sharing of the tidying up that made the difference. My family learnt to tidy up after themselves and if there was a bit of accumulated dust it would wait until the end of the week when a day was set aside for a thorough cleaning. I established a routine for the necessary chores that had to be done daily, but if they weren’t completed by lunchtime, they were left until the next day. That way I had time to pursue my own interests and to spend time with the children as well.
87. Every family needs a housewife. Whether it's mom or dad, or both in turn, it doesn't matter. In our family, we have chosen the traditional role for me-to stay at home, but some families choose the opposite, especially if the wife works in a higher-paying job. We actually tried both: I had to work all day when my husband was fired and had to stay home for a while. The days when a person who stayed at home to look after the house and family was considered “just a housewife” are long gone, especially now that there is a reverse role and a man sometimes stays at home. These days, being a “householder” sounds proud. This is one of the most rewarding careers and awards, although financially it's not as great. The family profits from one parent's quality time all the time.
88. I stayed at home until my youngest child went to school, and then I went back to temporary work. The extra money was welcome, but I found it tiresome to manage my house and work. What strikes me is how people cope, working all day, looking after the house and raising children. I'm surrounded by people like this where I live now. They have big houses, new cars, fashionable clothes, they update the furniture about every two years, take frequent vacations. But does it bring them pleasure when they are directly at home? From 6:30 a.m. cars begin to drive off. Children Wake up early, then they are taken through traffic jams to leave them with a caregiver. Then the parent must go to work. What happens if something goes wrong in this busy schedule? What if the child starts acting up or the car doesn't start? Then in the evening, the process begins in reverse order. Children are taken from schools where they are located and
89. So, after my first child was born, I thought for years that I had the perfect job. I was my own boss. I could work when I wanted and rest when I wanted. If I didn't want to clean or go shopping, I could wait until I was ready for it. Oh, Yes, taking care of our house and our children was hard, but the work varied and paid well. In fact, being a housewife was the perfect job for me. I was absolutely happy being a housewife and a mom. Watching my children grow up, watching their first steps, hearing their first words, and all the other stages cost the most money.

122. The Irish Travellers are the largest minority in Ireland. There are about 25,000 Irish Travellers in Ireland and 1,300 in Northern Ireland. They are a little understood nomadic community, who have many difficulties to overcome if they are to survive as a culture and gain acceptance into Irish society. Among the challenges facing them are poverty and racism. The Irish Travellers are a distinct ethnic group which has existed for centuries. Often they are mistakenly considered part of the nomadic Romani, an ethnic group which originated in the region of India and is now widespread throughout Europe. But the Irish Travellers are indigenous to Ireland, so the two cultures are not related. While both are nomadic, the Irish Travellers are Roman Catholic and speak a language that is theirs alone. They have their own culture, customs, traditions, and language. They are noted for their musical and storytelling abilities. In times past, they travelled by horse-drawn wagon in caravans, making camp along the way. Tinsmithing, horse trading and peddling were the major sources of income in those days. Tinsmiths were so prevalent among Irish Travellers that the terms Tinker and Irish Traveller were used interchangeably. Today, Tinker is one of many names for Irish Travellers. Horses and wagons have given way to mobile homes pulled by motor vehicles. They continue their life on the road, but there are fewer places to stop and fewer places where they are welcome. Today, Irish Travellers mainly work in re¬cycling. Changing needs of society and progress have eliminated the jobs that could support a culture on wheels. Irish Travellers are poor, undereducated, and on the receiving end of discrimination. Their life expectancy is lower than average while their infant mortality rate is higher than average. As is the case with the Romani, the Irish Travellers are seen by many as a group of immoral, ignorant criminals and con artists. People distrust their nomadic culture and their language, Shelta. Many think it’s a secret language specifically developed as a tool to help the Irish Travellers trick innocent people. But this is not true. It is an old language, which has evolved with time and circumstances. Once heavily infused with Irish Gaelic, it is now infused with English. They were called Tinkers, which is now …
