C (46) Verbs Set : Judge Juice Jump Kick Kidnap 

Have you ever heard the expression you can’t teach an old dog
new tricks? Today I want to talk with you about this expression and ask whether this is true or not. Well, the answer is kind of confusing because it is, and it isn’t true at the same time. So what do I mean by that? When somebody says, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks,” essentially, they are saying if you are older, you can’t learn new things. Now, I have a real problem with this because I have seen this type of mindset disproved so many times, including my first college professor who did not go to college until she was in her 60’s she ended up getting her associate degree, her bachelors and then masters degree and in her seventies was my professor for my very first college class that I ever took. I don’t believe the expression, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”

“You can’t teach an old dog new tricks,” is this true?

Episodio 4 - Twitter

arrator: Elvis Presley was born to a very poor family in Mississippi in the south of the United States in 1935. His twin brother died at birth, and he was an only child. The family moved to Memphis, Tennessee thirteen years later. As a teenager, Elvis was interested in all kinds of music and wore colorful clothes with a distinctive hairstyle that he kept for much of his life.
Narrator: In 1954, Sam Phillips, a music producer at Sun Records in Memphis, asked Elvis to come in for an audition. When he played a song that he had composed himself, Phillips recognized the young man’s talent. He offered Elvis a contract and put together a three-piece band for him. They played blues and country music that they knew from the radio, night clubs and churches with both black and white members. The band had a big hit later that year with a cover of a song by Arthur Crudup called, “That’s All Right,” using a style called rockabilly. Their popularity took off in the southern states as people saw them perform in local venues and even heard them on national radio programs.
Narrator: In 1956, Elvis met Colonel Tom Parker, who became his manager and organized a contract with RCA Records in New York. As the hits kept on coming, he changed over to a more rock and roll sound and performed in numerous TV shows and in films.
Narrator: However, in 1958, Elvis was drafted into the army and gave up performing for a couple of years. When he finished his military service, he returned to his music career and during the 1960s he made more than thirty movies and recorded lots of songs. He also married and had a daughter.
Narrator: In 1968, Elvis performed in a Christmas TV special, which boosted his popularity for a while. Between 1969 and 1976, he also put on hundreds of shows in Las Vegas, with tickets regularly selling out. However, in the 1970s, his career started to go downhill, partly because of his lifestyle. He was living in Graceland, a mansion in Memphis that he had bought in 1957.
