P. 43
A. Listen to the first part of an interview.
1. Answer the following questions based on what you just heard.
a. Why is knowing about the experience of our parents important?
b. Why are our parents our first teachers?
2. Listen again and write down three important points mentioned.
B. Now read the rest.
Yet another important thing is our heritage and culture. We have much to learn
from our parents regarding our heritage, to be proud of our past. This heritage
and history brings a sense of belonging. Most importantly, it brings us a sense of
identity of our past and the responsibility to protect it for our future generations.
What I can add at the end is the role of our parents’ morals, values, and principles
in our lives. Our elders have either learned, created or have been brought up with
a set of morals, values and principles in their lives. Our elders want the best for
us and they are willing to tell us what set of rules and guidelines have made them
successful, and hopefully, peaceful.
3. Underline all ‘passive tenses’. Make three questions about the
important points. Then answer them.
C. Work in pairs. Ask and answer.
How can we learn
from our parents in
our lives?
How important is it to 1
protect our culture for our
next generation? LESSON
Why are our parents
our blessing?
