Tipp von Reinhold Tyrach.
I am part of a lost generation
And I refuse to believe
we can change the world
I realize this may be a shock but
“Happiness comes from within”
Is a lie, and
“Money will make me happy”
So, in 30 years I will tell my children
They are not the most important thing in my life
My employer will know that
I have my priorities straight because
Work
Is more important than
Family
I tell you this
Once upon a time
Families stayed together
But this will not be true in my era
This is a quick fix society
Experts tell me
30 years from now I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce
I do not concede that
I will live in a country of my own making
In the future
Environmental destruction will be the norm
No longer can it be said that
My peers and I care about this earth
It will be evident that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic
It is foolish to presume that
There is hope
And all of this will come true unless we choose to reverse it.
Has someone got the time to type a transcript? Otherwise I could ask my students to do it for me.
In addition, I would be interested in how you would include this file in your lesson. Any ideas?
> Has someone got the time to type a transcript?
I’ve added the words to the article.
> Any ideas?
You could use it for example in the context of ‘youth’ / ‘growing up’.
Or just like that as a mail homework (cf. http://www.jochenenglish.de/?p=3786) and talk about it next lesson.
Quick response! Great website! Thanks!
Hört sich ja ziemlich frustriert an die “Lost Generation”
