There are four questions in this assignment. Answer all questions.

Question 1: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

Sometime ago a university psychologist made a study of the way professional men and business executives spend their time. He found that they devote seven out of ten of their working hours to giving or getting information. Of these seven hours, 11 per cent went into writing, 15 per cent into reading, 31 per cent into talking, and 43 per cent into listening.

Clearly, then, listening to the words of others is perhaps the most important use we have for our sense of hearing. It might seem that such listening would be a skill in which one would grow better with experience. Unfortunately, the reverse is often the case. It is quite possible that young children in general are better at listening to other’s talk than most mature men and women.

In another study, scientists attempted to determine how effectively business executives listen. The survey covered someone hundred firms. One almost incredible finding was that men at the second level of command, the directors and managers, seemed on the average to misunderstand or to fail to understand about one-third of what they were told by their colleagues.

Such a loss of listening ability is by no means inevitable. Many individuals retain for life the capacity for careful listening that seems to come naturally to most children in the years when it is their all-important way of learning. Authorities on the subject have a number of suggestions for those who seek to retain or regain that ability. One suggestion is to remember that words are merely symbols with which we try to communicate ideas and feelings to each other. If we are going to succeed, both the speaker and the listener must get together on what they mean by these symbols.

The commonest cause of poor listening is the unthinking assumption that words can mean only what they mean to you. If your telephone rings and you pick it up and hear a strange voice say “it was cold today”, you cannot know what temperature he means. He may be calling from some place where a temperature of say, fifty degrees would seem cold, or where it would seem warm. To find out approximately what temperature the word refers to, you have to find out in what context the speaker is using to.


Another suggestion: When you have any doubt about what someone means, rephrase what you think he said and ask him whether you have it right. Suppose, someone says that Columbus did not discover America. This might be only a provocative way of making the point that Columbus thought he had discovered a route to Asia. But this is not the sole possibility. The speaker might say that what he meant was that the Siberian ancestors of the American Indians crossed from Siberia to Alaska thousands of years before Columbus. In this case, of course, the speaker probably would be trying to provoke you to misunderstand his meaning at first. But the same sort of thing can happen when he is making his best effort to be plain.

I. According to the author, careful listening is a skills that seems to (1 Marks)
a) improve with age
b) come naturally to young children
c) be highly developed among psychologists

II. After studying the listening tests, scientists discovered that directors and managers (1 Marks)
a) spend most of their time reading.
b) improve their listening skills as they get older.
c) misunderstand about one-third of what they hear.

III. The ‘Strange voice’ incident is told to stress the importance of (1 Marks)
a) words as symbols.
b) the context in which someone speaks.
c) the telephone as a means of communication.

IV. What are the ways to improve your listening ability? Discuss. (2 Marks)


Question 2: You are Rashid pursuing higher studies in a new city. During the Orientation Programme, you meet a few students on the campus who wish to help you settle down. Conduct a dialogue with them and express your feelings about coming to a new city. Take at least five turns. (5 Marks)

The dialogue can start like this:

Old Student: Hello! Are you new to the College?
Rashid: Hello! Yes. I’m Rashid from Chennai.
Old Student: Welcome to St. John’s College. Hope you have a wonderful time here.
Rashid: Thank you very much.
Old Student: Tell me Rashid, I hope you are comfortable here.


Question 3: Carefully read the following passage, which contains about 400 words. Then, using your own words as far as possible, write a summary of it in not more than 120 words. Finally, supply a title for your summary.
(5 Marks)
Writing is a skill; like other skills, it can be learnt, and like most skills it is not inborn. For example, few people lack the basic equipment to learn to ride a bicycle (balance, strength, sight), but most become skillful cyclists only after much practice. Confidence is the main necessity, and having the courage to get on and try. The same is true of writing. Most people have the basic equipment (facts, experience, language), but like riding a bicycle, writing is a skill that must be learnt by doing it. No amount of reading, or absorbing rules and advice, can substitute for practice. Practice will bring co-ordination and control that will change writing from an apparently hazardous exercise to an efficient means of getting somewhere.

We start from the assumption that thinking about writing can improve it, and that everyone can learn to write well. Most people, in reality, are better at writing than they fear. They can write successful letters to friends and effective complaints about faulty goods. These writing tasks require the same basic skills as long reports, detailed instructions, or complex letters or memoranda. Judgement of what the audience needs to know, tact in assessing which way to present this information to them most usefully, and the resources of language to do the job exist in everyone. We all develop a basic storehouse of skills. It is drawn on to tell successful jokes at the bar, to shout at our driver, to persuade a friend to do something with you. This book sets out to encourage a more conscious use of those skills.

The first task is to encourage the right attitudes to writing. An instructor teaching timid old ladies to ride bicycles would soon find that getting to take a positive and confident view was a major step towards success. Few professional scientists busy with research projects, rushing their results on to paper for impatient managers, would like to be compared with ‘timid old ladies’, but they might recognize in themselves some of the same fearful hesitation when they put pen to paper. Writing is often felt to be a nuisance; frequently it is something which is secretly dreaded, rarely is it looked forward to as the climax of research.

Question 4: Write a composition in about 200 words on any one of
the topics given below:
(10 Marks)
i) The changing role of the mobile phone.
ii) The advantages and disadvantages of social networking sites.
iii) The increasing role of technology in our homes.
iv) Animal rights are as important as human rights.
