As we learn a language, we also learn the non-verbal conventions of that language- the meaning of a shrug, a pout, or a smile Speech thus often includes not only a face-to-face meeting, but also a meeting of the minds "Conversation," Steven Pinker notes, "requires cooperation." Listeners assume that speakers are conveying information relevant to what they already know and what they want to know They have to not only listen to words but also observe verbal devices and body gestures in order to understand the meanings of vague and ambiguous words and to fill in the unsaid logical steps Speaker and listener are aware of each other's knowledge, interests, and biases They can interpret remarks within the common social setting in which they find themselves This mutual understanding is frequently absent with written communication While in written communication, information an author would like to assume the reader knows must be included with a text Writers must make their biases explicit to assure full understanding by the critical reader, and readers, unable to read body language, must read the text carefully to find out attitudes or biases underlying it Your answers 46 We can use nonverbal clues in both spoken and written communication Emphasis, dramatic pauses and changes in tone or tempo are extra-verbal 47 devices While learning a language, we have to learn both words and nonverbal 48 conventions In a conversation, only listening to the speaker's voice is enough for the 49 listener to understand thoroughly even the meanings of vague and ambiguous words 50 Body language can also be read in a written text Part VII Give the correct form of the words given in each bracket to complete the following passage then write your answers in the box given The most effective way of learning a language is by living in the country concerned, but parents should think (51 care) _ before they send their children abroad Although some (52 organize) _ arrange visits for children as young as ten, the (53 major) _ of them won’t be ready to stay away from home and deal with (54 culture) _ differences until they are in their teens Even then they will need a basic (55 know) _ of the language and some experience of foreign travel before they go Exchange visits are a good way for (56 teen) _ to improve their language skills It is good idea for them to exchange (57 correspond) _ before the visits Host families should not feel any (58 oblige) _ to provide an extensive programme of (59 entertain) _ It is more important to make the guest feel welcome Travel can (60 broad) _ the mind, and exchange visits give young people experience of a different way of life as well as a different language Your answers 51 56 52 57 53 58 54 59 55 60 Part VIII Rewrite the following sentences, beginning as shown and keep meanings stay the same 61 Where is the bus station? → Could you ………………………………………………………………………….… ? 62 I think you should go to the dentist’s → If I ……………………………………………………………………………….… … 63 I got to the stadium in one hour → It took ……………………………………………………………………………….… 64 Someone is going to tune my piano tomorrow → I’m …………………………………………………………………………….… … 65 I’m certainly not giving you any more money → I have no ………………………………………………………… Your answers → 61…………………………………………………………………………………………… → 62…………………………………………………………………………………………… → 63…………………………………………………………………………………………… → 64…………………………………………………………………………………………… → 65…………………………………………………………………………………………… Part IX Rewrite the following sentences, using the word given and keep meanings stay the same 66 The bread was so dry that my father couldn’t cut it (such) → ………………………………… ……………………………………………………….… 67 Having already eaten, he didn’t want any lunch (Because) → …………………………………………………………………………………………… 68 They arrived very late because they had a flat tyre (If) → ……………………………………………………………… …………………………… 69 She prefers reading to watching TV (rather) → ……………………………………………………………………………………… …… 70 Ronaldo started to play for Real Madrid one year ago (has) → ………………………………………………………………………………………… … Your answers → 66…………………………………………………………………………………………………… → 67…………………………………………………………………………………………………… → 68…………………………………………………………………………………………………… → 69…………………………………………………………………………………………………… → 70…………………………………………………………………………………………………… Part X Write an essay of about 200 words to answer the following questions “As a teacher, which English skill you think is the most difficult to teach your students?
