Unit 3

Part I Pre-Reading Task

Script for the recording:

Have you ever heard about the famous American folk musician Bob Dylan? Listen, he's about to sing you a song called The Times They Are A-changin':

The Times They Are A-Changin'

Bob Dylan

Come gather round people

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you nave grown

And accept it that soon

You'll be drenched to the bone.

If your time to you

Appendix I - 105

Is worth savin'

Then you better start swimmin'

Or you'll sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changin' .

Come writers and critics

Who prophesize with your pen

And keep your eyes wide

The chance won't come again

And don’ t speak too soon

For the wheel's still in spin

And there's no tellin' who

That it s namin’ .

For the loser now

Will be later to win

For the times they are a-changin' .

Come senators, congressmen

Please heed the call

Don't stand in the doorway

Don't block up the hall

For he that gets hurt

Will be he who has stalled

There's a battle outside

And it is ragin .

It'll soon shake your windows

And rattle your walls

For the times they are a-changin' .

Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

And don t criticize

What you can't understand

Your sons and your daughters

Are beyond your command

I

- 106 - Appendix I

Your old road is

Rapidly agin'.

Please get out of the new one

If you can't lend your hand

For the times they are a-ckangin' .

The line it is drawn

The curse it is cast

The slow one now

Will later he fast

As the present now

Will later he past

The order is

Rapidly fadin'.

And the first one now

Will later he last

For the times they are a-changin' .

The song you have just heard was also written by Bob Dylan when a young man in his early twenties. Like many a young man throughout the ages he felt misunderstood by his parents' genera?tion, a generation he was quite happy to blame for all the ills of the world. He saw a gap between young and old, a gap made wider by different attitudes to change, the young welcoming it, the old resisting it. But change is coming whether we like it or not, coming like a flood that no one can escape. So you had better:

... admit that the waters around you have grown

And accept it that soon you'll he drenched to the hone.

For those whose job it is to comment on the news and to predict what will happen next, we live in interesting times.

Come writers and critics

Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again

Appendix I - 107 -

But they should not be too quick in predicting what is going to happen. The wheel of fortune is still spinning and those at the bottom of society may find themselves later rising up. And so:

... don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin Ana there's no telling who That it' s naming For the loser now Will he later to win

Many of Dylan's early songs were, like this one, protest songs, songs aimed against injustice. And so he warns politicians not to stand in the way of those who are fighting for justice, a fight that will

... soon shake your windows And rattle your walls.

He sees his parent's generation as too ready to criticize their children and unable to understand their hopes and dreams:

Come mothers and lathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you don't understand

Dylan sees the older generation's way of doing things as outdated. If they are unwilling to change their ways then they should step aside and let a new generation take over. As he says to them:

Your old road is

Rapidly a gin

Please get out of the new one

If you can't lend your hand

For the times they are a-changin'

Part IV Theme-Related Language Learning Tasks

Model paper

Mother: Nancy, you've been home from school for three days now. Why don't you clean up your

room?

Nancy: We don't have to clean up our rooms at school.

Mother: That's all very well, Nancy. But while you're at home, your Dad and I would like you to

keep your room clean.

Nancy: What difference does it make? It's my room.

Mother: That's as may be, but you might give a thought to your father. He's frightened to death of

the plague and now says if it is going to start anywhere in the country, it's going to start in

your room.

Nancy: Mother, you people aren't interested in anything that's relevant. Do you realize how the

major corporations are polluting our environment?

Mother: Your father and I are very worried about it. But right now we're more concerned with the

pollution in your room.

Nancy: For heaven's sake, Mother, I'm grown up now. Why do you have to treat me like a child? Mother: We're not treating you like a child. But it's very hard for us to think of you as an adult when

you go round throwing all your clothes on the floor.
