You are going to read a text about basic element in both speaking and writing, followed by a list of examples and explanations. Choose the best example or explanation from the list for each numbered subheading. There is one extra example which you do not need to use.

There are many differences between communicating in written and spoken words—one to one or one to many. Because speaking is face to face and personal, it is much more direct than writing.. Hand and body gestures, facial expressions, and vocal variety help greatly to support face-to-face communication. It is also reinforced by instant feedback from listeners in the form. of smiles, frowns, applause, catcalls, clenched fists, and so on. An alert speaker who is sensitive to feedback can "shift gears" and adapt to changing circumstances.

(41) The differences between talking and writing

Writing, however, depends solely on words and punctuation to deliver the message. There are no gestures and no voice, and if there is any feedback, it takes time to reach the writer.

(42) Why long sentences can be used in writing?

Effective talking is aimed at people's minds and hearts through their ears, and ears prefer short, direct, conversational sentences.

There are three standards that apply equally to talking and writing—clarity, accuracy, and appropriateness.

(43) Clarity.

If the audience doesn't understand the message instantly, then the speaker has, to some extent, failed. Thus, every possible measure must be taken to ensure that all your words and thoughts are perfectly clear to the audience.

(44) Accuracy.

As a conscientious speaker, you must see to it that your information is as current and as accurate as research can make it.

(45) Appropriateness.

In addition to being precise, your language should also be suitable to the subject, audience, and occasion.

A. For instance, a speaker can vary his/her pitch or tone to change the meaning expressed. A writer, on the other hand, has to rely solely on the words and context or even explanations in braces to achieve that.

B. Good talking is wordy, repetitive, and far less structured than efficient writing. A good speech, reproduced word for word on paper, usually does not read well because it rambles and repeats words and thoughts. It is not nearly as disciplined and organized as good writing.

C. Throughout your talk, words are your prime means for helping your audience understand your message. And to harness the profound power of words, you should develop a lifelong habit of using a dictionary and a thesaurus. If you do not exploit these resources, you will fail to achieve your full potential as a speaker and conversationalist. Another device that will help you achieve clarity in your talk is a summary. If your talk consists of three will researched major points, lit those points in your introduction so your audience will know at once what ground you will cover. Discuss them in depth, summarize them at the end of your talk, and emphasize any conclusions hat they lead to.

D. For example, a speaker who's addressing a Parent-Teacher Association should avoid the statistical and psychological jargon of advanced educational researchers. By the same token, she should not indulge in teenage slang. Any speaker worth her salt will analyze her audience first and adapt her language accordingly.

E. The surest way for you to damage your credibility is to spew forth misinformation or outdated information. How many times have you seen a story, a name, an important fact, or a charge against someone retracted in newspapers? Unfortunately, the damage was done when the misinformation first appeared in print. Such unwarranted embarrassment and mental anguish could have been avoided ff someone had taken the t

A．the message can be interpreted differently from what was intended.

B．it can be easy for people to ignore the contents of a written message.

C．most people are more comfortable with face-to-face communication.

The Internet is already the greatest equalizer of all time and can only become more so. While it may never match the ease of learning face-to-face it is now an excellent resource which is improving by leaps and bounds every day. The more you use it, the more you'll appreciate just what a powerful resource it is. Love it or hate it, our lives will be increasingly affected by it as international boundaries dissolve in the face of this high-tech equalizer.

The Internet is a fantastic resource for language learning. It will soon be even better. Make the most of it now and use it more in the future. Right now you have a resource which is text. The Net allows you to read about any subject which interests you in whatever language you're learning. It's great for:

Reading about how to learn -- using resources to find out good ways to learn a language quickly.

Sourcing reading material -- since you have a Net connection on your desk it costs nothing more to get an endless supply of written information about any subject which interests you, With over forty million URLs on the World Wide Web already and many more appearing every day, and with thousands of newsgroups you no longer need rely on your local bookshop to get over-priced books, newspapers or magazines to read.

Finding pen pals -- email makes it easy and fast to correspond with short letters on a daily basis. And it's free, so very frequent correspondence is finally practical and affordable, while finding someone to correspond with has finally become quite easy.

Voice communication will become more accessible as standard protocols emerge for person to person "telephone" calls. Right now both people need to have the same telephone software and a fast link to the Net if they want to talk to each other, so person to person discussion is a little difficult to organize. Emerging standards will soon solve this problem.

Video tele-conferencing is a reality now, but will become much easier and of better quality as high- speed ISDN and cable links become cheaper and more commonly available.

Desktop cameras and microphones become cheaper and more likely to be available for widespread personal use.

40. point is that the need to anticipate the obvious first question, which nonetheless often
