Who do I want to become? Explore the truth of your own story and the power of your voice. Rob That is correct. She's just published her autobiography and has been talking in the UK about her life. The first US presidents were in the 18th Century, and they had wives, but I think the actual term may only have been introduced much later — so I'm going to take a wild guess and say the 20th Century. Rob OK. Well, I'll have the answer later in the programme.
According to this report, where did she visit that she had visited before? Earlier in the day Mrs Obama revisited a school in north London, a place where she says she was first inspired to focus on education during her time as the First Lady. Dan She went to a school in north London. She said it was at this school that she was first inspired to focus on education.
If you are inspired to do something, you get a strong feeling that you want to do something, you feel a strong motivation to achieve something particular, often because of something someone else has said or achieved.
Rob The report also mentioned that she spoke openly about a number of issues. To speak openly about something is when you discuss a subject, often a difficult subject, without trying to hide the facts or your feelings. Rob There is a name for that. Rob I wonder why? Dan Well, anyway, back to the report. Michelle Obama was also keen to talk about the topic of empowerment. That's giving people the strength, confidence and power to achieve what they want in life by themselves.
Rob She says here that we assume things about people based on their social status or station in life. To assume means 'to make a judgement which is not based on the facts but on what we think is true'. Dan She uses the phrase in their own right. When you say that someone is talented in their own right , it means that their talent comes from their own skills and abilities and not because of any connection with any organisation, individual or class that they happen to be associated with.
Was it in the: a 18th Century b 19th Century or c 20th Century. Rob But let me finish. It was the second half of the 19th Century when the title First Lady began to be used. Dan We started with the phrase to talk openly about something. This means to discuss something, usually a difficult subject, without hiding your feelings, emotions or facts about that subject. Rob Then there was the noun empowerment.
This is the process of giving people the feeling that they are in control of their lives, making people more confident in their rights and abilities. If you inspire people, you give them the feeling that they want to and can do something, something difficult or creative.
If you have that feeling yourself, you are inspired. Rob Next there was the verb to assume something. To assume means 'to make a judgement about someone or something not based on proof, but on things you think or believe to be true'. Dan The next phrase was in their own right. If someone is successful in their own right , for example, it means their success is because of their own skills and abilities, and not because of who they work for, or work with or which social group they come from.
Rob And finally there was the noun phrase station in life. Dan Your station in life is your position in society — your social status. Bye bye for now. Dan Bye!
