At first, my dad was not in favor of me marrying Will becau Will is black. I guess my dad was a bit of a racist. Unfortunately, no arguments could counter dad's beliefs. Despite his protests , though, Will and I de cided to go through with our wedding. On a marvelous June day we were mar ried in the park. The wedding went off without any hostile words or embarr assing exchanges. It was actually quite beautiful. There was just one proble m. Many of our friends and relatives didn't attend our wedding. I had to conclude that my dad was not the only prejudiced person we knew. Other tha n my father, no one had come out to speak against my relationship with Wi ll. It did not em appropriate for them to show their resistance to our marriage in this way. My dad had strong rervations about my marriage to Will, but at least he was there. Will and I decided to overcome this burd en by showing everyone how wrong they were. We wanted not only to love on e another, but also to defy racial hatred by loving one another. We probab ly weren't being all that realistic, but we did succeed with one person. M y dad and Will have developed an amazing friendship. My dad says he has f orgotten why he ever had any doubts about our marriag
Unit 4
What do we know about love? Is it, as some people would suggest, a mysterious force? Or can it be explained and possibly even created? Well, even in this scientific and reason-driven age, love ems still to defy total understanding. We can, however, know something about love and make stronger connections between individuals.
One thing that ems to affect love is distance. The common idea is that the love between people grows as they are parated. Sometimes it is true that longing for someone who has gone overas becomes more inten. Something that nourishes love is danger. Send both lovers to dangerous places and they will end up loving each other more. This could be caud by the worry it develops. It could also be that feelings of uncertainty or need transform into love with time. Love gives us warmth, courage, and a feeling of being safe, but it also demands lfless devotion and sacrifice. If you are truly committed to finding true love, you should make yourlf more interesting. Do things that you enjoy and try to meet people who share identical interests.
Unit 5
My son has started to hang out with the wrong type of boys. He is fifteen years old and until recently I had always been grateful for how easy he has been to rai. Lately, though, he has cead to listen
to what I say. He ud to be such a sweet boy, but being in high school ems to have hardened him against authority figures. The change in his attitude has been very noticeable even to his teachers. The other day I asked him to come straight home after school, but instead he rebelled and stayed out until ten o'clock. Later I found out that he had skipped school completely that day. I found out that he was with a(n) bunch of boys who often cau trouble. I decided to forbid him to do anything with tho boys, but he didn't listen to me. In spite of my objections to him being with tho boys, he was with them the very next day.A friend of mine has a son who is having identical problems. She decided
to give him a change of scenery and nt him to a private school. I'm not sure this is the best solution, though. You can't just change a boy's behavior by changing his school every time he does something wrong. It is better to help a kid establish a good t of core values.
Unit 8
Having a lot of money is uless without a good education. Life isn't simply about consumption and having a good time when you're not at work. Money will only cau you grief unless you u it for the welfare of the world. That's why I believe that a good education is indispensable. A formal education
with emphasis on history, literature, and culture helps a person learn how to distinguish right from wrong. Education that only teaches skills specific to a job can only render skills for performing a task. It doesn't teach you how to make important decisions. Employers tend to demand more from their employees than the ability to perform a task. Our world needs workers who pay constant attention to high standards for their performance. It is evident that far too many people today are focusing on making money and not on improving themlves. What puzzles me is why people should ignore contributions to the good of humanity while making money. It is only rational a person who gives to the world enjoys the benefits. After all, our civilization simply can't be built on the principle of making money alone. In summary, we must educate our young people to understand and love the world around them. This is the only way to ensure a better tomorrow.
Unit 9
Nobody has ever had to tell me to get out of bed. My number one ast has always been that I am much more ambitious than most. The way I e it, life is too short tomake periodical concessions to comfort and fun. If you want to accomplish something remarkable, you've got to stay motivated and constantly work toward your goals. My goal has been to become a(n) journalist since I was a young boy. When I was eight, my father said, "That field of work is too competitive for you. You should be m
ore realistic about your prospects and abilities."
I didn't want to deceive mylf about how hard it would be, so I started that day by getting
a jo
b delivering newspapers. I departed from home every morning at 4:30 to do my work before school. I was fascinated with the printing machines so I always arrived to work early to ask questions. I wasn't much of a scholar, so I eventually ended up enrolling in an average university. Still, I was keen on becoming a reporter and did not give up my dream. I wrote for the school newspaper and when I graduated, took a job sorting mail with a local media company. I later convinced them to give me a chance to write some simple articles. That's how I got my start.
Unit10
Are we fated to repeat the past becau our memories are too short? Wa sn’t World War II supported to provide a resolution that would end all wa rs? Why are we still fighting? As people around the world endure the agoni es of war, is it possible to even hope for a brighter tomorrow?
A recent study revealed that the quantity of wars in the world is ac tually decreasing. I hardly believe
this means we derve historic prai fo
r greater understanding of our fellow men. While the number of traditional wars may have declined slightly, acts of violence around the globe are on the increa.
The end of World War II left us with an opportunity rarely en throug
hout history-to start over. But, instead of izing that opportunity and gua ranteeing the safety and well-being of all peoples, rich nations took advant age of the poor. We cannot continue with the assumption that our actions i n other parts of the world are without conquence at home. If we do so, the heroic efforts of the soldiers of World War II will have a waste. W e will simply repeat the wars of the past.
