2. TASK #1. PREPARATION – 01:30 min. ANSWER – 01:30 min. PREPARATION
Task 1. Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
The word “history” comes from the Greek word which basically means “to learn or to know by inquiry”. That is why History teachers encourage their students to probe, dispute, dig deeper – that is, inquire. History is not static. It is fluid. It changes and grows and becomes richer and more complex when any individual interacts with it.
Knowledge of history is empowering. Any event is a part of an ever- expanding wave that may have started moving outward hundreds of years ago. One who “sees” history is able to harness the power of that wave’s entire journey.
Finally, the best history has at its foundation a story. For example, a printer challenges a King and so is laid the foundation of the first amendment. One more case – a New Jersey miner finds gold in California and it sets off a torrent of movement westward, or a woman going home from work does not leave her seat and a Civil Rights movement explodes.
