2. Based on the video, insert double slash (//) to indicate thought groups in
the text provided. Then audio-record yourself pausing where the slashes
are. Listen to your recording and answer the following questions:

Can we forge against these enemies// a grand and global alliance, //North and
South, //East and West, //that can assure// a more fruitful life //for all
mankind?// Will you join in that historic effort?//

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the
role // of defending freedom// in its hour of maximum danger.// I do not shrink
from this responsibility// — I welcome it.// I do not believe that any of us//
would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The
energy, //the faith, //the devotion which we bring// to this endeavor// will light
our country and all who serve it //— and the glow from that fire// can truly light
the world.//

And so,// my fellow Americans: ask not// what your country can do for you —
ask what you can do for your country.//

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not// what America will do for you, but what
together we can do for the freedom of man.//
