How is everybody else you know playing their part?

Do you think we will have witnessed more changes that what our parents and grandparents have had the change to witness?
Do you have the feeling that things are changing too rapidly that it's sometimes difficult to keep up with all of the changes?
When you think about how everything is going to be, do you rationally consider the consequences nowadays' actions may bring about or you just build castles in the air?

WACKY ELECTION CANDIDATES

If you thought only Brazilian people were aware of how lame most of our candidates are, you were wrong, really wrong.

It is notorious, even in the UK, that most of our candidates don't have a clue of what they are doing, of what is expected from them.

And who is there, ilustrating the article? Tiririca! Isn't it great? Here is one more for the list that already includes Carnival, samba, soccer, gorgeous girls, paradisiac beaches...

With such a strong figure and auch an easy number to remember, he's propably gonna be one of our deputies; and you know what? For one who used to make a living by making people laugh, making a living by making fun of people is not gonna be so difficult.

Do you think it is the kind of problem only women have?

Listen to the conversation and answer the questions:
(Remember to open the exercise in a new tab / window to make things easier for you!)
