About: Grand-parents' lifestyles
Mon, 20 Oct 97 12:56:12 EDT
I noticed that the French
tend to describe grand-parents with warmer adjectives than their
American counterparts.
More specifically, French describe grand-parents as "famille",
"papy", "mamy", and "experience";
while the most common American adjective for grand-parents is
"old".
I was thinking that maybe the lifestyle of grand-parents in France
vs. USA makes a difference, so I have these questions for the
SUP'AERO students:
1. Where do grand-parents usually live? By themselves or with
other family members?
2. How often do you see your grand-parents?
3. Do you talk with them often? Do you ask them for advice?
Au revoir,
Eladio.
