Task 9 dictation

The future will not determine itself. The future is determined by the actions of the present day. Edward Cornish, the editor of The Futurist magazine published by the World Future Society, says: “The responsibility we have for the future begins when we recognize that we ourselves create the future�"that the future is not something imposed upon us by fate or other forces beyond our control. We ourselves build the future both through what we do and what we do not do.” A novel way of teaching may change the way universities are run. An engineering teacher at the American University of Illinois has had great success without textbooks, without exams, and without deadlines. His students won nine of the top ten engineering awards in a university competition. The engineering professor, Ricardo Uribe, let his engineering students express themselves, instead of telling them what to do. His students all focused on the problems that interested them, not what their teacher told them. They worked their own hours set by the university. They did not have to sit tests, and they helped each other in open classes.
