TASK 2 (10 pts)
In the following passage, there are 10 words which need correction. Find and correct them
in your answer sheet.
Years ago, before any of you were born, a wise Frenchman said, “If youth
knew; if age could.” We all know what he meant: that when you are young, you
have the power to do anything, but you don’t know what to do. Then, when you
have got old and experience and observation have taught you answers, you are tired,
Line 5 frightened; you don’t care, you want to be left alone as far as you yourself are safe;
you no longer have the capacity or the will to grieve over any wrongs but your own.
So you young men and women in this room tonight, and in thousands of other
rooms like this one about the earth today, have the power to change the world, rid it
forever with war and injustice and suffering, provided you know how, know what to
Line 10 do. And so according to the old Frenchman, since you can’t know what to do
because you are young, then anyone stands here with a head full of white hair,
should be capable to tell you.
But maybe this one is not as old and wise as his white hairs pretend or claim.
Because he can’t give you a glib answer or pattern too. But he can tell you this,
Line 15 because he believes this. Which threatens us today is fear. Not the atom bomb, nor
even the fear of it, because if the bomb fell on Oxford tonight, all it could do would
be to kill us, that is nothing, since in doing this, it will have robbed itself of its only
power over us: which is fear of it, the being afraid of it. Our danger is not that. Our
danger is the forces in the world today which are trying to use man’s fear to rob him
Line 20 of his individual, his soul, trying to reduce him to an unthinking mass by fear and
bribery— giving him free food which he has not earned, easy and valueless money
which he has not worked for; the economies or ideologies or political systems,
socialist or democratic, whatever they wish to call them, the tyrants and the
politicians, American or European or Asiatic, who would reduce man to one
Line 25 obedient mass for their own aggrandizement and power, or because they themselves
are baffled and afraid, afraid of, or incapable of, believing in man’s capacity for
courage and enduring and sacrifice.
