My Fellow Americans, over the past three-and-a-half years, we have

made great progress as a nation.

 3 
Today, America has the strongest economy in the world. We’ve made

historic investments in rebuilding our nation, in lowering prescription

drug costs for seniors, and in expanding affordable health care to a

 6 
record number of Americans.

We’ve provided critically needed care to a million veterans exposed

to toxic substances. Passed the first gun safety law in 30 years.

 9 
Appointed the first African American woman to the Supreme Court.

And passed the most significant climate legislation in the history of

the world. America has never been better positioned to lead than

 12 
we are today.

I know none of this could have been done without you, the American

people. Together, we overcame a once in a century pandemic and

 15 
the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We’ve protected

and preserved our democracy. And we’ve revitalized and strengthened

our alliances around the world.

 18 
It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President.

And while it has been my intention to seek re-election, I believe it is in

the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down to

 21 
focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my

term.

I will speak to the nation later this week in more detail about my decision.

[...]

Joseph R. Biden, July 21, 2024




Assignment 1

Eksempel:It was a cool evening in late summer...
It is a cool evening in late summer...

It was a cool evening in late summer when Wallace, his father dead for several weeks, decided that he would meet his friends at the pier after all. The lake was dimpled with white waves. People coveted these last blustery days of summer before the weather turned cold and mercurial. The air was heavy with their good times as the white people scattered across the tiered patios, pried their mouths apart, and beamed their laughter into each other’s faces. Overhead gulls drifted easy as anything.

Wallace stood on an upper platform looking down into the scrum, trying to find his particular group of white people, thinking also that it was still possible to turn back, that he could go home and get on with his evening. It had been a couple of years since he had gone to the lake with his friends, a period of time that embarrassed him because it seemed to demand an excuse and he did not have one. Maybe it had something to do with the crowds, the insistence of other people’s bodies, the way the birds circled overhead, then dive-bombed the tables to grab food or root around at their feet, as though even they were socialising.
