A common saying in English says that "family is where love begins and where it never ends." In this episode of In Contact! we'll discuss some information about this important part of our life, these group of people who will always love us whatever the situation is and who will always support us unconditionally. Welcome to this programme about family!

We'll first have a review on conditional cases so that you can talk about family relations; we'll also give you a dose of expression often used to refer to family ties; and if you have any siblings, you'll find some interesting information about the way family order shapes your personality; we'll enjoy 5 new and classic songs which mention family members; we'll learn some information about the way some families in our university community are structured; and finally, you'll have some tips for learning English better at home and for avoiding a common mistake English learners commit, which is using double negatives.

We'd be so delighted to know more about you and your family! As you listen to the show, please answer the following questions and post your ideas on the comment section below:

• How many people are in your family?
• Are you the oldest, the middle or the youngest child? What advantages and disadvantages do you find in that position?
• Do you prefer big or small families? Why?
• Do you plan to get married? And do you project yourself having children? If so, how many would you like to have?
