Unit1 Parents differ from children in their career choice. The question of who should be responsible
for planning their career often causes problems for many children. Parents think that they know their
children well enough to decide what kind of job suits them. They are afraid that their children are too
young to decide their future on their own. However, many children would argue that they should be
left free to make their own choice. The other aspect of career choice is that parents and their children
are often different in their opinions of the idea profession. Parents would prefer children to choose
some professions that are stable and could bring prestige and economic benefits. But some children
would rather choose professions that are challenging and require independent and creative thinking.
Unit2 Charlie Chaplin is a great comic for his native land Britain, but even more so for the world. On
the stage he often wore tiny moustaches, huge pants and tailcoats that were perhaps more
characteristic of Europeans and may be not much of the British. Since more than half of the roles
Chaplin played were in silent films, people throughout the world had no difficulty understanding his
films. With sound movies, Chaplin created a nonsense language that sounded like no known
nationality and was accepted and appreciated by people all over the world. For most of his lifetime he
did not stay in his mother country; he traveled throughout the world to appear on stage for people of
different nationalities.

Unit4 Compare the new welfare system with the old one and you would find a world of difference
between the two. Under the new welfare system, the law encourages welfare clients to work on their
own for a gradual shift
away from welfare, and this is not the case in the past. Welfare clients now can develop their talents to
make money. In the past, they often cheated to bleed the system for a few extra dollars. Now
caseworkers will gladly help their clients find appropriate jobs rather than act like detectives to try to
seek out any unreported properties. Today many welfare clients have made a choice to live a life of
complete honesty and they tell the truth to caseworkers and declare any extra income they make. In
cases like this, caseworkers will feel greatly relieved because they don't need to search for any
cheating as in the past.
Unit5 Some people prefer to live alone whereas some others have to live alone for one reason or
another. Those people believing in inspirational solitude argue that no companion is more
companionable than solitude. Literary giants such as William Wordsworth, John Milton and Henry
Thoreau enjoyed living alone on purpose. Hunters or explorers enjoy themselves as they venture out
to tame the great wild areas. On the other hand, there are some other people who have to live alone
due to various reasons: being divorced, widowed or never married. Many of them feel bitter to live in
solitude. They have no one to talk to and as a result they talk at length to themselves and to their pets
and to the television.
Unit6 Typically there are two kinds of people who choose to live alone on purpose. The first group of
people is artists. They believe in the inspiration in solitude. One of my friends is a writer. He enjoys
the time when he is alone because he can stay up late to read and, above all, concentrate on his writing
