(UEMG- 2013) The Birth of a Storyteller Jackie Torrence spent her childhood in North Carolina, in the southern part of the United States. She was a shy child because she had problems with her teeth, which made it hard for her to talk. Other children teased her because of her speech problem, so she spent much of her childhood playing alone. One of Jackies favorite games was to pretend she was on television. She told stories out loud using gestures and dramatic voices. At school, Jackie soon learned that she was good at writing stories, and with the help of her favorite teacher, she started to work on improving her speech. Jackies first storytelling performance was in a library. She was working as a librarian and was asked to entertain a group of children. Jackie told them a story and they loved it! Before long, she began telling stories within her community. Many of her stories came from old American and African-American folktales. Eventually, she started telling stories across North America. As Jackies fame increased, her health decreased. She now has to use a wheelchair, but this has not stopped her storytelling career. Jackies stories have been published in books, magazines, and newspapers and she has appeared on radio and television. She has won awards for nine of her sound recordings and three of her television specials. Adapted from NorthStar 3: Listening and Speaking, 2nd Edition (Longman, p. 57), Helen S.

(UEMG - 2013) The Paradox of Our Times by Jeff Dickson The paradox of our times in history is that We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; We buy more, but enjoy it less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; More conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees, but less sense; More knowledge, but less judgment; More experts, but more problems; More medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly; Laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, Stay up too late, get too tired, Read too seldom, watch TV too much, And pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. Weve learned how to make a living, but not a life; Weve added years to life, not life to years. Weve been all the way to the moon and back, But have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. Weve conquered outer space, but not inner space; Weve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; Weve split the atom, but not our prejudice. We have higher incomes, but lower morals; Weve become long on quantity, but short on quality. These are the times of tall men, and short character; Steep profits, and shallow relationships. These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; More leisure, but less fun; More kinds of food, but less nutrition. These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; Of fancier houses, but broken homes. It is a time when there is much in the show window And nothing in the stockroom; A time when technology can bring this letter to you, And a time when you can choose either to make a difference Or just hit delete.
