Integrated Course Book 2 Unit 1 Listen to the recording two or three times and then think over the following questions: 1. Who should teach whom? Is learning a one-way street? 2. Should we share our dreams for a better life with our parents or keep them to ourselves? 3. Can children ever understand their parents completely? 4. From the song can you guess what the theme of the unit, way of learning, chiefly refers to? Ways of learning is the topic of this unit. It is also the topic of the song you are about to listen to, called Teach Your Children sung by Crosby, Stills and Nash. Teach Your Children???????????????????????Crosby, Stills and Nash You, who are on the road, Must have a code that you can live by. And so, become yourself, Because the past is just a goodbye. Teach your children well, Their fathers hell did slowly go by. And feed them on your dreams, The one they picks, the one youll know by. Dont you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you. And you, of tender years, Cant know the fears that your elders grew by. And so please help them with your youth, They seek the truth before they can die. Teach your parents well, Their childrens hell will slowly go by. And feed them on your dreams, The one they picks, the one youll know by. Dont you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you. ????The first part of the song is about how parents can inspire their children through sharing with them their dreams, their hopes for a better life. It starts with advice on how you need a set of rules, a code that you can live by, to guide you on the road of life. Only then will you be able to fully realize all that is within you and become yourself. Therefore, parents need to teach their children well.????And children -- you of tender years -- also have something to teach their parents, for learning is not a one-way street. C
