John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln lived in different times and had very different family. Kennedy lived in the 20th century; Lincoln lived in the 19th century. Kennedy came from(đến từ) a rich family, but Lincoln's family was not wealthy(giàu có - vì có chữ but nên phải đối lập wealthy >< not wealthy) Because Kennedy came from a wealthy family, he was able to (đang quá khứ đơn nên dùng was - be able to : có khả năng làm gì) attend expensive private schools. He graduated( thì quá khứ đơn vì đang là kể lại câu chuyện)  from Harvard University. Lincoln, on the other hand, had only one year of formal schooling. In spite of his lack of formal schooling, he becomed(trở thành ) a well-known lawyer. He taught himself law by reading(Danh động từ- thành lập bởi V thêm ing: việc đọc sách ) law books. Lincoln was, in other words, a self-educated man.
