1. Read and translate the text about a woman’s career to answer the question ‘What was Pam Mc Allister?’
Pam Johnson: It's Never Too Late
Pam Mc Allister Johnson made history as the first black woman publisher of a leading white daily newspaper.
Johnson was taught to have a ‘very, very strong self-concept’ (самооценка). She believed that she could be anything and do anything she wanted to. She worked as a reporter and radio and television interviewer / announcer (ведущий новостных программ). She taught at the College. Knowing that journalism was the area she wanted to be involved in, she left her teaching position and began working as a general executive ([ig΄zekjutiv] генеральный директор) at the Bridgewater New Jorsey, Courier-News courier ([΄kuәriә] курьер). Johnson soon moved up the ladder to the position of assistant to the publisher of the Ithaca ([΄iθәkә] Итака, город штата Нью-Йорк) Journal and then became its publisher. Pam considers herself a real go–getter (предприимчивый делец).
People who know her say that Pam Johnson is a highly motivated, intelligent person with a gift for understanding and working with people. She is a well-organized, high energy person. Even at home, her philosophy is much the same. She and her husband try to encourage ([in΄kʌriʤ] – поощрять) their two children ‘to learn everything you can and think positively’.
