Dictation

• Throughout history, the basic unit of almost
  human society has been the family. The members of
  the family live together under the same roof.
  They share the economic burdens of life as well
  as its affectional joys. The family head usually
  has considerable influence in arranging
  marriages, selecting careers and determining all
  important moves and purchases by any member of
  the family. Particularly in conditions where
  society or the state does not give aid and where
  consequently the responsibilities of the family
  are greater, this large group provides better
  protection in times of economic or other
  emergency.

Dictation

• Acting is such an over-crowded profession that
  the only advice that should be given to a young
  person thinking of going on the stage is
  Dont!. But it is useless to try to discourage
  some person who feels that he must act, although
  there is little chance of his becoming famous.
  The normal way to begin is to go to a drama
  school. Usually only students who show promise
  and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two
  years. Then the young actor or actress takes up
  work with a theatrical company, usually as an
  assistant stage manager. This means doing
  everything that there is to do in the theatre
  painting scenery, taking care of the costumes,
  and even acting in very small parts. It is very
  hard work indeed the hours are long and the
  salary is small.
