Câu 1: Read the paragraph below and translate it into Vietnamese.

English:

Man: Good morning. Can I help you?

Woman: Yes. I’ve just been accepted on a course at the university, and I’d like to try and arrange accommodation in the hall of residence.

Man: Yes, certainly. Please sit down. What I’ll do is fill in a form with you to find out a little more about your preferences and so forth.

Woman: Thank you.

Man: So first of all, can I take your name?

Woman: It’s Anu Bhatt.

Man: Could you spell your name, please?

Woman: Yes. A-N-U…B-H-A double T.

Man: Thanks, and could I ask your date of birth?

Woman: 31st March 1972.

Man: Thank you. And where are you from?

Woman: India.

Man: Oh right. And what will you be studying?

Woman: I’m doing a course in nursing.

Man: Right, thank you. And how long would you want to stay in the hall, do you think?

Woman: Well, it’ll take three years but I’d only like to stay in the hall for two. I’d like to think about living outside for the third year.

Man: Fine. And what did you have in mind for catering? Do you want to cook for yourself or have all your meals provided, that’s full board?

Woman: Is there something in between?

Man: Yes. You can just have an evening meal provided, which is half board.

Woman: That’s what I’d prefer.

Man: Yes, a lot of students opt for that. Now, with that in mind, do you have any special diet, anything we should know about?

Woman: Yes, I don’t take red meat.

Man: No red meat.

Người phụ nữ: Vâng, tôi không ăn thịt đỏ.

Người đàn ông: Không ăn thịt đỏ.

Drones right now can be incredibly sophisticated, and some TV shows actually use them for sweeping and aerial shots as the film, it’s very cool. But to do deliveries, that’d have to be a little more programmed, as human error no doubt would be a very big buzzkill. → E,

The potential is there, and by that point, various upgrades to drones and their programming will no doubt make them all the more efficient, durable, and quick. And potentially, they could go beyond basic deliveries for people and do emergency work. → I, Not that it’s impossible right now, it’s more of a question of numbers, logistics, costs, and making sure that the deliveries themselves are done in a methodical and careful manner. → F, We have cars that are much safer than they’ve been in the past decade, and we’re even making fully electric cars that can help save the planet. There are even plans for self-driving cars and even self-driving Ubers that make the future of transportation very exciting. And that’s just ONE technology that we’re growing at a fast rate.

→ B, From things in the air to new things for our bodies, join me as we explore 2050: What

Would-Be The Future Technology? (The World in 2050 Future Technology). We are in the year 2020, and if we’re being honest with ourselves, technology is incredibly advanced, and we’re making strides that can push things even farther. → A,

You know of the magnetic trains of Japan no doubt, but others like the Virgin Hyperloop are trying to push things even farther. “Passengers or cargo are loaded into the hyperloop vehicle and accelerate gradually via electric propulsion through a low-pressure tube. The vehicle floats above the track using magnetic levitation and glides at airline speeds for long distances due to ultra-low aerodynamic drag.” → L,

But by 2050? We might not only have drones delivering our packages, but we might also be looking up at the sky and seeing drones flying all over with incredible speeds and accuracy, and they potentially could all be run by AI! → H, Trains ferry people and all sorts of cargo around in an efficient and reliable manner, which is why they’ve been in use for hundreds of years. But…if we’re being honest here, while trains are efficient and reliable in certain ways…they aren’t exactly fast. Especially when it comes to passenger and freight trains. → K,

What about all the others that are out there? What will technology be like as we get closer and closer to 2050? Let’s start with the one that well and truly could happen very soon, drones. “Wait a minute, drones are already here!” and yes, they are. → C, But more times than not the drones you are seeing are small, piloted by people who are just trying to have some fun, or, are the ones that are used by the military right now for strikes and surveillance. All very fun, but in the future, drones could be an integral part of our daily lives. You’ve likely seen shows and people talk about how in a few years drones could be the new delivery services. → D, Imagine a drone taking a vital piece of medical material to a hospital to ensure it doesn’t get stuck in traffic? Or helping watch over an important convoy to let people know on the ground if there is trouble? There are many ways that drones could affect our world, the only question is, will we let them by 2050? → J,

After all, it’s bad enough when delivery people don’t care enough about our packages that they just throw them onto the porch and potentially break stuff, the last thing we need is that to happen with drones. → G.

While the business and policy communities are still struggling to wrap their heads around the cyber realm’s newfound importance, the application of AI to cyber security is heralding even greater changes → K,

For instance, YouTube receives over 400 hours of video content each minute (Brouwer 2015). For instance, researchers have trained computer models to identify an individual’s personality traits more accurately than their friends based exclusively on what Facebook posts they had liked. → E,

In general terms, AI refers to computational tools that are able to substitute for human intelligence in the performance of certain tasks. This technology is currently advancing at a breakneck pace, much like the exponential growth experienced by database technology in the late twentieth century. Databases have grown to become the core infrastructure that drives enterprise-level software. → C,

Hardly a day passes without a news story about a high-profile data breach or a cyber attack costing millions of dollars in damages. Cyber losses are difficult to estimate, but the International Monetary Fund places them in the range of US$100–$250 billion annually for the global financial sector (Lagarde 2012). Furthermore, with the ever-growing pervasiveness of computers, mobile devices, servers and smart devices, the aggregate threat exposure grows each day. → J,

Additionally, new means of cyber-attack will be invented to take advantage of the particular weaknesses of AI technology. Finally, the importance of data will be amplified by AI’s appetite for large amounts of training data, redefining how we must think about data protection. Prudent governance at the global level will be essential to ensure that this era-defining technology will bring about broadly shared safety and prosperity. → B,

Big data and AI have a special relationship. Recent breakthroughs in AI development stem mostly from “machine learning.” Instead of dictating a static set of directions for an AI to follow, this technique trains AI by using large data sets. → F,

In this way, the adoption of AI technology can make even mundane and seemingly trivial data valuable. For instance, researchers have trained computer models to identify an individual’s personality traits more accurately than their friends can, based exclusively on what Facebook posts the individual had liked (Wu, Kosinski and Stillwell 2015). → I,

One of the essential purposes of AI is to automate tasks that previously would have required human intelligence. Cutting down on the labour resources an organization must employ to complete a project, or the time an individual must devote to routine tasks, enables tremendous gains in efficiency. For instance, chatbots can be used to field customer service questions, and medical assistant AI can be used to diagnose diseases based on patients’ symptoms. → L,

The main constraint on innovation is no longer the difficulty in recording and storing information, but the finding of useful insights among the sheer abundance of data now being collected. AI can notice patterns in mammoth data sets that are beyond the ability of human perception to detect. → H,

Similarly, most of the new value-added from software over the coming decades is expected to be driven, at least in part, by AI. Within the last decade, databases have evolved significantly in order to handle the new phenomenon dubbed “big data.” This refers to the unprecedented size and global scale of modern data sets, largely gathered from ethe computer systems that have come to mediate nearly every aspect of daily life. → D,

Artificial intelligence (AI) is truly a revolutionary feat of computer science, set to become a core component of all modern software over the coming years and decades. This presents a threat but also an opportunity. AI will be deployed to augment both defensive and offensive cyber operations. → A,

For example, AI chatbots can be trained on data sets containing text recordings of human conversation collected from messenger apps to learn how to understand what humans say, and to come up with appropriate responses (Pandey 2018). One could say that big data is the raw material that fuels AI algorithms and models. → G.

Elon Musk and other tech billionaires are out of control. Elon Musk’s move on Twitter also is hard to square with the concept of fiduciary responsibility. → A,

The site has made oodles of money but also caused psychological damage to children and adults, which Facebook’s own research has corroborated. Long-term, shareholders, too, can suffer from unfettered control. Zuckerberg steered Facebook into obsessively chasing an abstract business goal with the metaverse. → H,

This dual-class share structure is unusual in business but common in the tech world, thought to give start-up founders freedom to execute their long-term vision. The founders of Airbnb Inc. and Snap Inc. both have about 44% voting control of their respective companies thanks to dual-class structures. And while Musk owns just 20% of Tesla Inc., his board is stacked with long-time friends like Larry Ellison and Kimbal Musk, Elon Musk’s brother. → E,

Why isn’t he reshaping Facebook into a safer website that can thrive for years to come? Because no one, either from his team of sycophantic lieutenants or his deferential board, has pushed him to. Musk’s move on Twitter also is hard to square with the concept of fiduciary responsibility. He doesn’t want to buy Twitter to make it a better business – “I don’t care about the economics at all,” he recently said – but to realize his ideas about free speech. → J,

For instance, when Mark Zuckerberg bought Instagram for $1 billion in 2012, the tiny target had no revenue – and he didn’t ask his board for permission. Seven years later Instagram was contributing $20 billion to Facebook’s annual sales. But look at it another way. Multiple studies have shown that the rise of Instagram, under Zuckerberg’s stewardship, has correlated with higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide among teenagers and teen girls in particular. → G,

He doesn’t want to buy Twitter to make it a better business – “I don’t care about the economics at all,” he recently said – but to realize his ideas about free speech. Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, is a hair’s breadth away from purchasing one of the world’s most influential publishing platforms. → B,

What’s actually disturbing about his deal to buy Twitter Inc. is the next part: He will be accountable to no one but himself. Musk can dissolve Twitter’s board when he takes the company private. If he doesn’t, any board that remains probably won’t have teeth. That’s nothing new in tech, where checks and balances are often passed. → C,

Big Tech founders like Mark Zuckerberg and Alphabet Inc.’s Sergey Brin and Larry Page have fashioned themselves as modern-day autocrats of business, thanks to the way they have structured their initial public offerings and voting shares over the past decade. Zuckerberg owns the majority of Meta Platform Inc.’s voting shares, while billionaires Brin and Page control 51% of a special class of voting shares of Alphabet, giving them ultimate control of Google and YouTube. → D,

Now Tesla’s shareholders are paying the price. As Musk borrowed more than $25 billion against Tesla as collateral, the carmaker’s shares have lost almost a quarter of their value in the past three weeks. If Musk sells part of his stake to keep supporting his personal agenda, that will depress the share price even more. → K,

Zuckerberg’s board also has largely done his bidding over the years. All of this runs counter to modern ideas of corporate governance, which hold that is a good thing. Without those checks, tech leaders are free to make capricious decisions, according to David Yoffie, a leadership professor at Harvard Business School, who spent close to three decades on the board of Intel Corp. Sometimes, those decisions can be good for business. → F,

While the initiative might eventually bear fruit, for now, the move has already cost the company $10 billion. Meta’s stock has dropped 40% since the start of this year. → I.

I focused on winning, on getting her to do what I wanted rather than problem-solving. And so if she saw herself alone – no support – she certainly didn’t see me as her support. What she saw was the thing that could protect her, her herd, was leaving, and now she was alone. She was isolated, and she was at risk. And so as we continued, I tried to keep her with me, but she wanted to go with them. And what happened was because she couldn’t go forward, the only thing she could do is go up. And she reared. → K,

Her jaw is tight. Look at her ears. Clearly, I have a goal in mind but so does she, and it might not be the same thing. But my vision was good: what I wanted us to be was good. Let me show you what I had in my head about how we might look. This is Buck Brannaman and his horse Rebel. Look at these. Look at how they move together. The smoothness with which they move across the pasture. It’s stunning – the fluidity, the dance. → H,

Two of my friends and I were in the pasture. And they took off to go do something with their horses, but I decided that Sal and I should stay and work on a particular dance step that we were trying to achieve. And when they left, she got anxious, which is not surprising, because horses are prey animals, their herds are their source of support. And when she was left alone, she was feeling very scared. And I made, of course, my first mistake in all of this. → J,

One of the biggest challenges that we face in negotiations is that we view negotiations as a battle. And that battle is characterized by “I’m going to try to get stuff from you that you don’t want to give me; and I’m going to try to keep you from getting my stuff.” And if we view negotiations as a battle, we already have a problem. → B,

All I can do is present proposals where you believe it is in your interest to say “Yes.” And so, once I take that perspective on negotiation which highlights the importance of the other as well as me, so many more things open up to negotiation: whether it’s a new job – I’m trying to negotiate the terms of my employment contract – whether I’m trying to do an acquisition for my company; whether I’m in a meeting; whether I’m deciding with my spouse who’s going to take the dog out on a cold and rainy night; or whether I’m thinking about what the rules are that my offspring will have to follow and I will have to agree to when they use my car. → D,

It’s as if this man’s brain is attached directly to this horse’s feet. This is what I wanted. That was a good goal. So, I decided, “Yes.” And I started working hard on getting Sal to look like Rebel. And the harder and harder I pushed her, the more she got resistant, the more she got tight, the more she got anxious, the more we didn’t go forward. And it came to a head about three years ago. → I,

I’m going to suggest that what’s more important is that we look at negotiations as an opportunity for collaborative problem-solving, looking for a solution that makes me better off, better off than my alternatives, better off than my status quo. But because there is no command and control in negotiation, I cannot force you to say “Yes.” → C,

I teach negotiation. I do research in negotiation. I write books in negotiation. And I work with students and executives to help them get more of what they want from their negotiations. → A,

This is Sal. Sal is a 15-year-old quarter horse. She is a mare. And Sal came to me as a gift from my husband. My husband was the prior owner of Sal, and he discovered, very quickly, that Sal was more horse than he could handle. So, as a solution to his problem, he thought he would just give her to me. And he did that because he thought – and he told this to me – “You two are so alike.” And to demonstrate that, we have a picture. → F,

I struggled mightily to get all four feet back on the ground, and I did for a moment, but soon after that, she reared again, and then a third time, and at that point, scared for my life, I bailed on Sal. I abandoned her. Now, at this point, I had created a power struggle. And, at that moment, we were both in a struggle for our survival. Right now, you are probably thinking, “You know, you are such a drama queen.” “What’s a little rear?” → L,

So this is Sal and me, but early on in our relationship. And we are about to attempt a relatively complex maneuver called the flying lead change. Look at my jaw: it’s tight, my lips: pressed. My eyes, if you can see them through the sunglasses, there’s a laser-like focus on where I need to be with my horse, and my reins have a death grip. But this is a move that requires both of us, both Sal and me. And if you look at Sal, you see she has a similar look on her face. → G,

And this is very good advice, but I am here today with a confession that I don’t always follow my very good advice. And I want to introduce you to my long-time negotiating counterpart. → E.

What was important to you, what video games you played, what you believed in, and what informed your decisions. Because you happened to live during a remarkable time in human history: The Planetary Revolution, when humanity transitioned, becoming a multi-planetary species. → B,

For some two million years or roughly 80,000 generations, the life of our ancestors was basically the same. It was around 20,000 years, or 800 generations ago that the behaviourally modern humans began a process that would change our lifestyle forever. At first, gradually, for some of us. Then faster for more of us. And then suddenly for almost all of us. Back then there were about one million modern humans on earth. → E,

In that time, our numbers would explode by orders of magnitude, our technology and standard of living would improve to levels previously thought impossible and our self-conception would change forever. And all the future archaeologist has to learn about is your junk in the woods. While we can only hope this will be someone’s problem in 12,000 years, we have the same problem today. We are trying to reconstruct a revolution that took place 12,000 years ago. → C,

This early agriculture started to drastically reduce the space our ancestors needed to feed one individual. Which made it possible to stay in one place longer. Around 12,000 years ago these little pieces of progress had reached a critical mass. Most of the calories we consume today stem from about 15 different founder crops that human began to domesticate in earnest in the next few thousand years. What we call the agricultural revolution was not a thing that began suddenly one day. It was a slow process driven by small groups over many generations. Eventually, the gradual change gave rise to a new era. → I,

During the next few thousand years, progress would speed up and turn hunter-gatherers into farmers who lived in villages, towns, and then cities. When farmers moved into new areas, they replaced the nomadic tribes or turned them into farmers too. This was neither easy nor painless. In the early days, people had a diverse diet made of up to 250 different plants and animals. For some of the groups transitioning to agriculture, the variation in their diets declined drastically and some even seem to have been undernourished. → J,

Our ancestors used these bonus crops to bake the first bread and to brew the first beer. With every generation, they gathered deeper knowledge about the plants and animals around them. But there was a lot to learn. → H,

The first solid evidence for this stems from the Jordan Valley, where our ancestors collected wild wheat more than 20,000 years ago. They noticed that seeds in the ground made more plants the next year. If they put good ones in one place, the next year they had more of the good ones. This was a great supplement to hunting and gathering. You could prepare some crops, return next year, build a temporary settlement and have a secure food supply. → G,

Even with more people dying younger, villages and towns grew. The number of humans on earth exploded. About 100 generations after the beginning of the Human era, there were already four million of us. This increased the need for food and forced people to come up with ever more efficient ways of producing calories – solidifying our new lifestyle. Going back to hunting and gathering would just have meant death by starvation for most. → L,

Most other human species had died out, probably with a little help from us. Our ancestors’ biology had given them the necessary tools: A general intelligence to understand things, a social intelligence to understand each other and language to express abstract ideas and create new concepts. These were people just like you. They suffered and experienced joy, were bored, cried and laughed. → F,

Imagine someone coming into your kitchen and taking a few tools, a pan, and your garbage. Then they bury everything in the woods. 12,000 years later an archaeologist is trying to figure out who you were. → A,

Today, only shadows remain of the people who experienced our distant past as their present. What Remains from our past → D,

Virtually every infectious disease caused by microorganisms that have adapted to humans arose in the last 10,000 years. Cholera, smallpox, measles, influenza, chickenpox, and malaria. Mortality, especially among children, rose drastically. Still, our numbers grew because living in the same place enabled women to bear far more children than before – and for a farmer, more kids mean more hands to work the fields. → K.

Share your happiness with others by doing them good as well. You don’t have to constrain that effort to your partner. Your children and other people will be grateful as well. → J,

2. Treat yourself to a little something

Sometimes, in the thick of everyday life, we just need a little break. Particularly the ones among you with children know just how precious a few moments to yourself can be. Make some time for yourself or treat yourself. Yes, you deserve it. You are doing an awesome job day in and day out. And don’t forget, if you’re not doing well then, your partner and family are not doing well, either. That’s a fact that especially the mothers among us are prone to forget (myself very much included). → F,

Make a conscious effort to put your partner first.

Is your partner stressed?

Could they use someone to listen to them?

Can you take the weekly shopping off their back?

Haven’t they been interested in several weeks in trying that new restaurant?

Or, you could try to establish a new habit of paying it forward when something good happens to you. → I,

At times, you don’t even know why you feel down but you find yourself dreading getting up in the morning and are having trouble getting through the day. In any case, a little mood booster would be a good thing. But you may not want to involve your partner because they’ve got enough on their plate or because you don’t want to impose on them. Or you may find that your partner is just not up for working on your relationship right now. → C,

1. Collect happy memories:

Take a trip down memory lane and remember why you fell in love with your partner. You got together with your partner for a reason.

Remember? What was it like when you first got together?

What did you cherish about them?

What were the little things you adored? → D,

And the best thing is: You have control over your thoughts.

Remember: You can find happy people everywhere, no matter where you go.

There are plenty of happy people in poor countries and desolate living situations or other hard circumstances. There are chronically ill people who feel their life is worthwhile and consider themselves happy (as well as lucky). Life is what you make of it. Choose to make the best of your life. → L,

Using these easy, science-backed tweaks can make a big difference in your life. Every relationship has its ups and downs. In fact, life has its ups and downs. That’s totally normal – we wouldn’t be human if we did not have these mood swings. → B,

Research shows that happy people remember happy memories more often throughout the day. Choose the memories you reflect upon and make this fact work for you. With respect to your partner, make a list and keep it with you or put it in a drawer where you can find it. Look at it when you need a little pick-me-up or when your partner just did something annoying. → E,

We’re not talking about heading off for the weekend or buying a new sports car; though if you can and want to, go for it. Rather, it’s those little moments that count. Take 20 minutes and read that book you’ve been wanting to finish for the longest time. Try the new chocolate you’ve been craving. Get takeout for the family so you don’t have to cook. There are no rules, just pick whatever works for you. And keep going; make it a habit. → G,

4. Commit to happy thoughts

There are so many benefits to positive thinking. It improves our immune system, it reduces anxiety, it makes it less likely that you will engage in unhealthy behavior, and it makes you happier! → K,

5 Secrets to Being Happier Without Relying on Your Partner → A,

3. Put your partner first

It’s no secret and it’s been confirmed in many research studies: When we help others, we help ourselves because it makes us happy to help others. But it’s also no secret that, in everyday life, we’re often just too busy to remember this truth; rather, we get tangled up in our to-do lists. → H.

Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward. → A,

We want our kids to grow up in a country where they have access to the best schools and the best teachers – (cheers, applause) – a country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation – (scattered cheers, applause) – with all of the good jobs and new businesses that follow. We want our children to live in an America that isn’t burdened by debt, that isn’t weakened up by inequality, that isn’t threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet. → K,

But if you ever get the chance to talk to folks who turned out at our rallies and crowded along a rope line in a high school gym or – or saw folks working late at a campaign office in some tiny country far away from home, you’ll discover something else. You’ll hear the determination in the voice of a young field organiser who’s working his way through college and wants to make sure every child has that same opportunity. You’ll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer who’s going door to door because her brother was finally hired when the local auto plant added another shift → I,

Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America, the best is yet to come → C,

I just spoke with Governor Romney, and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign. We may have battled fiercely, but it’s only because we love this country deeply and we care so strongly about its future. → E,

Thank you for believing all the way – (cheers, applause) – to every hill, to every valley. You lifted me up the whole day, and I will always be grateful for everything that you’ve done and all the incredible work that you’ve put in. I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly. And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics who tell us that politics is nothing more than a contest of egos or the domain of special interests. → H,

It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an American family, and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people.

Nó tiếp tục được vì bạn đã khẳng định được tinh thần chiến thắng chiến tranh và suy thoái, tinh thần đó đã đưa đất nước này từ hố sâu tuyệt vọng lên đỉnh cao hy vọng, niềm tin rằng trong khi mỗi chúng ta theo đuổi ước mơ riêng, chúng ta là một gia đình Mỹ, và chúng ta thăng trầm cùng nhau như một quốc gia và như một cá thể → B,

I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, America’s happy warrior, the best vice-president anybody could ever hope for, Joe Biden. And I wouldn’t be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago. → G,

In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Governor Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward. → F,

We want to pass on a country that’s safe and respected and admired around the world, a nation that is defended by the strongest military on Earth and the best troops this – this world has ever known – (cheers, applause) – but also a country that moves with confidence beyond this time of war to shape a peace that is built on the promise of freedom and dignity for every human being. → L,

Whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for a very long time – by the way, we have to fix that – (cheers, applause) – whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone (cheers, applause), whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference. → D,

These arguments we have are a mark of our liberty, and we can never forget that as we speak, people in distant nations are risking their lives right now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter – the chance to cast their ballots like we did today. But despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopes for America’s future. → J.

I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn’t start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington – it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to this cause. → K,

It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference. → D,

He thanks many members of his campaign, along with his enormous army of volunteers, and he warns supporters about what he calls the enormity of the tasks at hand that now face the U.S. He concludes by telling an anecdote about a 106-year-old African-American voter from Atlanta. → B,

In these prepared remarks provided by his campaign, President-elect Barack Obama calls himself the unlikeliest presidential candidate. → A,

I just received a very gracious call from Sen. McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he’s fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. → G,

It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this earth. → L,

I congratulate him and Gov. Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead. I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the vice-president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden. → H,

To my campaign manager, David Plouffe; my chief strategist, David Axelrod; and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics – you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you’ve sacrificed to get it done.

Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the White House. And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight and know that my debt to them is beyond measure. → I,

It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled – Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of red states and blue states; we are, and always will be, the United States of America. → E,

It’s the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day. It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America. → F,

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. → C.
