More about the topic: Adoption16
More often than not, there are some familiar scenes deeply impressed in our minds: when one gets to know by chance that he/she was adopted, he/she feels extremely painful and hates everybody around him/her, including the foster parents. Never-theless, the fact is, being an adopted child is nothing to be ashamed of. He/She is just perfectly17 the same with any other children.
You are going to hear a discussion about adopting children. Supply the missing words while listening.
Woman:   Many of the disadvantages ?or many of the troubles that occur, with
_____children, do of course also occur in the cases of children
___________to their parents. But there are some, for example, grandparents say, who refuse to__________ an adopted grandchild as their own, or
schoolchildren, children, like adults, are often_________, and who find
out that a child is adopted, and perhaps tease or rag the child. Those
__________difficulties of course don't arise in the case of children born to
their_________. So I think there are a few difficulties that arise, that stem
,_______ from adoption, but those parents who have_______^_ difficulties, I think often forget that many, many, what I call__________chil-

dren, children born to their parents, er, produce the so that one has to be careful in saying, this is____
Man:   You put a great stress on the need to tell the child as
that he or she is adopted ... Woman:   Yes.
____difficulties,

Man:   Why is this so?
Woman:   I think it's terribly important, because the child is bound to__________it
sometime or other. I have met some very__________cases, where the parents hadn't__________the child, that he or she was adopted, and then some
well-meaning, perhaps not so well-meaning,__________, told the child, or
adolescent. It was a great __________ to the child, in some cases, the child
literally18 packed a suitcase and_____________. I know of several cases of
___________who did that. And even if they don't react quite so violently,
they begin to think, well, can they ____________ their parents on any topic, if
them? Also, if you don't tell your ___that there is something faintly
on such a vital topic, they________
child that he, or she, is adopted, it___
shameful19 about it, and of course this is not the case, and it should be not __________or__________to be the case, either by the parents or the children. And if the parents, or anyone____________associated with the child
feels it, they're not very
., in my opinion, to be adoptive parents.

Memory test: Freedom or Discipline?


Almost in all countries, there is fear in many a home. When there is a lack of freedom and love, you cannot have self-regulation. Instead, you will have rebellion. As a matter of fact, you can only have a free atmosphere in the home when fear is absent.

A  In the following short passage, you are going to hear some complaints poured out by Louisa's mother about watching TV. After that some questions will be asked. Listen and write down brief answers as quickly as possible according to the notes you have taken while listening.
