'In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility - I welcome it I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it. And the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. '

(1961)

'I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.' (1963)

'I know full well the responsibilities that await me as I enter the door of No. 10 and I'll strive unceasingly to try to fulfil the trust and confidence that the British people have placed in me and the things in which I believe.

Reading: Do Parents and Teenagers really talk?

1. Read and translate the text, find these words and phrases, translate into

2. In ex. 1 find synonyms to these phrases:

109

in some way, a worry, bad-tempered, moreover, to take sth, to be usual, to have good relations with sb, to want to do sth, to make sb do sth

My parents don't listen to me!' This is the most common complaint teenagers have about their parents. Even teens who generally get along well with their parents wish they would listen more, talk with them more, be less critical and judgmental, and be more willing to discuss the teen's point of view.

Parents, on the other hand, have the same complaint: 'He won't listen to me!' Parents complain that teens are silent, or moody, aggressive and loud. They wish their teens would share more and talk with them in a friendly fashion. They wish their teens would listen more and criticise them less.

Unfortunately, the style of much parent/teen communication is negative and ineffective. Parents should ask themselves, 'Do I talk at my teenager or do I talk with my teenager?' Parents who talk at teens are often reminding, threatening, blaming, questioning, ordering or judging. This style is used to pressure teens into doing something parents want them to do, and the effect is decreased effective communication.

How would adults feel about these comments: That dress is too tight!' 'The lawn looks terrible. Are you even too lazy to cut the grass right?' 'Why can't you be more like Sam?' 'Eat your salad!' Would they remain friends with a person who made such remarks to them? Can they hear echoes of their own voice talking at their teen?

Parents who talk with teenagers listen. They listen to what teens are thinking, feeling or wanting to do. They try to understand and accept teens' points of view. In addition, they are not afraid to express their own views or share feelings and concerns.

The relationship between parents and teens is often highly emotional. Their relationship is changing, and both parents and teens want to be heard, understood and accepted. If this is to be achieved, parents especially must listen with their hearts as well as their heads.

What is becoming more and more common, however, in the age of the Internet, is that teenagers are beginning to speak a new language – a language that parents do not understand. 'Teenspeak' is a product of instant messaging and Internet chat, worlds teenagers spend an increasing amount of time in.
