IELTS Oral Part 3: Who is usually the leader in a Chinese family? Who is usually the head of a family in China?

The spoken part three of IELTS often extends the overall topic of the topic card. This question is very precise. It is not an abstract problem, but a phenomenon specific to a large area. To answer such questions, you'd better not talk about your own personal experience. After all, it does not represent the country. However, you can talk about the reasons behind a phenomenon from a reasonable point of view.

Off the top of my head, I assume the eldest person in the family usually has the biggest controlling power. You know, our culture thinks the older members deserve more respect and attention as they usually have richer overall knowledge and experience in life, which might be helpful for the entire family. Also, this article is from Laokaoya website, in my mind, older males such as the father or grandfather in a family are often leaders than females. This is probably brought by the influence of patriarchal society in history.

The first thing I can think of is that the older people in the family usually have the greatest control. In our culture, older family members deserve more respect and attention. Because they usually have more experience and knowledge in life. This will be of great use to the whole family. In addition, in my opinion, older men are more likely to be the head of the family than women, such as father or grandfather. This is mainly influenced by the patriarchal society in history.
