What is a typical American family? The traditional one includes mom, dad, and the kids, but there now are many other combinations of family households. Eight percent are single-parent families, where only one parent lives with the children, while other families may consist of children living with a parent and a stepparent.
In general, the average number of people living together under one roof has gotten smaller. The number of children in a family is also much smaller, and the children are usually encouraged to be independent and leave home, when they finish school and start working.

It was in London that the word ‘smog’ (smoke+ fog) was first used. In the 19th century London’s thick smogs became famous through descriptions of them in the works of Charles Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The situation in London reached its worst point in 1952. At the end of that year a particularly bad smog, which lasted for several days, caused about 5,000 deaths. At one time, a scene of fog in a Hollywood film was all that was necessary to symbolize London. This image now is out of day.
