According to the late research in the United States of America, 【M1】______

men and women use so different languages that it is like people【M2】______

from two different cultures try to communicate. Professor Deborah【M3】______

Tannen of Georgetown University has noticed the difference in the

style. of boys' and girls' conversations from early age. She says that 【M4】______

little girls' conversation is less definite than boys and expresses 【M5】______

more doubts. Little boys use conversation to establish status with

their listeners.

These differences continue into adult life, she says. In public

conversations, men talk more and interrupt the other speakers more. 【M6】______

In private conversations, men and women speak in equal amounts

-and they say things in different styles. Professor Tannen believes

that for women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy.

For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure

of a relationship.

Teaching is one job the difference between men's and women's【M7】______

ways of talking shows. When a man teaches a woman, says Professor

Tannen, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and hence power 【M8】______

in conversation. When a woman teaches a woman, however, she is more 【M9】______

likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in. 【M10】______
