Situation 1. – Below is an excerpt from John F. Kennedy’s “Inaugural Address”. Read the excerpt and answer the questions that follow.
In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country as founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans answered the call to service surround the globe.
Now the trumpet summons us again – not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need, not as a call to battle, though embattled we are; but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, “rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation,” a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.
Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join me in this historic effort?
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.

Situation 3 – Below is a Biographical sketch of an American movie writer:
How Did Elvis Presley Achieve Recognition
Success often comes to those with humble beginnings. Elvis Aaron Presley was born on January 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi. He first sang in a church choir and taught himself to play the guitar, but he never learned to read music. By 1953, he had moved to Memphis, Tennessee, graduated from high school, and enrolled in night school to become an electrician. That year, at Sun Records, Presley recorded a personal record for his mother, a song that was heard by the company’s president. As a result of the president’s recognition, Presley’s first record, “That’s all Right, Mama”, was out in 1954.
He toured the South, and in 1955 five of his records were released simultaneously. His first national television appearance was that year on Jackie Gleason’s “The Stage Show,” but Presley became known for his appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show”, where the young singer gyrated as he sang “rock n’ roll” music. During the live television performance, Presley was photographed only from the waist up because his motions were considered obscene.
“Elvis the Pelvis” began his film career in 1956 with LOVE ME TENDER and signed a long-term film contract. The movie critics were not always kind, but teenagers flocked to Presley’s films. Within a few short years, Presley had established a career that would span twenty-five years of ups and downs and make him one of the most popular entertainers in history. Long after his untimely death at age 42, Presley would be remembered as “The King of Rock n’ Roll”.
