8. UNIT1. Working for country Listening with the script Q. Listen and check your comprehension. Hello, everybody.  As 2011 comes to an end and we look ahead to 2012, I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year. The last year has been a time of great challenge and great progress for our country.  We ended one war and began to wind down another.  We dealt a crippling blow to al-Qaeda and made America more secure.  We stood by our friends and allies around the world through natural disasters and revolutions.  And we began to see signs of economic recovery here at home, even as too many Americans are still struggling to get ahead. There’s no doubt that 2012 will bring even more change.  And as we head into the New Year, I’m hopeful that we have what it takes to face that change and come out even stronger – to grow our economy, create more jobs, and strengthen the middle class. I’m hopeful because of what we saw right before Christmas, when Members of Congress came together to prevent a tax hike for 160 million Americans – saving a typical family about $40 in every paycheck.  They also made sure Americans looking for work won’t see their unemployment insurance cut off.  And I expect Congress to finish the job by extending these provisions through the end of 2012. It was good to see Members of Congress do the right thing for millions of working Americans.  But it was only possible because you added your voices to the debate.  Through email and Twitter and over the phone, you let your representatives know what was at stake.  Your lives.  Your families.  Your well-being.  You had the courage to believe that your voices could make a difference.  And at the end of the day, they made all the difference. More than anything else, you are the ones who make me hopeful about 2012.  Because we’ve got some difficult debates and some tough fights to come.  As I’ve said before, we are at a make-or-break moment for the middle class.  And in many ways, the actions we take in the months ahead will help determine what kind of country we want to be, and what kind of world we want our children and grandchildren to grow up in.  As President, I promise to do everything I can to make America a place where hard work and responsibility are rewarded – one where everyone has a fair shot and everyone does their fair share.  That’s the America I believe in.  That’s the America we’ve always known.  And I’m confident that if we work together, and if you keep reminding folks in Washington what’s at stake, then we will move this country forward and guarantee every American the opportunities they deserve. Thanks for watching, and from Michelle, Malia, Sasha, Bo and myself, Happy New Year. 6

12. UNIT1. Working for country Reading : A life dedicated to a nation Read the article and answer the questions. Ahn was born in Gangseo (now North Korea) in 1878, during the close of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) and a time when the nation was plunged into confusion with the prospect of foreign invasion. The outbreak of the First Sino- Japanese War (1894-1895) had a major impact on Ahn, who was studying the Chinese classics at the time. The war made him realize the necessity of introducing a new culture and civilization to his country and raising an independent Korea’s status and power. When Japan won the war and revealed its desire to invade Korea, Ahn headed to Seoul to study. In 1896 he attended Gusae Hakdang, a missionary sponsored school in the capital city run by Horace G Underwood, and converted to Christianity. In 1897, he joined the Independence Association, a social political group which focused on the importance of a sovereignty that did not rely on foreign influences. He also started his career as an independence activist and educator around this time. At the age of 22, he established the first private co-ed primary school in Korea. In 1902, he left for America to get a better education. He witnessed the same discrimination and contempt his countrymen overseas were experiencing, and began to dedicate his time protecting the rights of local Koreans by founding the Korean Fellowship Society. The Eulsa Treaty between Japan and Korea in 1905, which virtually sealed Korea’s fate as a colony of Japan, brought Ahn back home to Korea. Upon his return, he launched the New People’s Association, a clandestine organization for fostering the country’s independence, founded the Dae Sung School for secondary education and organized the Young Students’ Association to nurture future Korean leaders.On March 1, 1919, as protests against Japanese colonial rule swept the whole nation, independence activists gathered in Shanghai to found an interim government. Ahn joined this government and devoted himself to national independence, holding important posts such as Secretary of the Interior, Deputy Prime Minister and Secretary of Labor. He was imprisoned by the Japanese in 1938 while trying to integrate different independence groups. He passed away just seven years before the liberation of Korea, on Aug 15, 1945. Today, he rests in Dosan Park, Seoul, which was opened in commemoration of the activist in 1973. Ahn dedicated his life to restoring Korean independence and leading a prosperous nation. Today, his legacy is still admired in the communities in which he earned his reputation. 10
