Read

the following

passage

and write a sunmary

in

not more than

l/3 its

length:

1x5:

Speech

is

of

two kinds,

fo1mal and informal.

We

present

formal

speech

methodically,

whereas into-rmal

speech

is often

spontaneous.

In

most

cases,

the

presenter

of

formal

speech

gets

tirne

to

plan,

organize, reheatse

and

even

memorise

the

speech.

It

is

quite

oommon

these days to

use

audio-visual

aids to

make

presentations. Presentations

are made

in

forms

such as conferonces,

serninars, workshops, meetings

and

even classrooms.

This

tlpe

of

speaking

closely

resembles the

written form

of language.

Although

it is

often

stated

that

spoken

language

is

not written

language spoken out,

in

the

case

of

presentations,

the

language has to have

the

characteristics

of written

language.

For

an effective

presentation,

matter

and

manner

are both very important but

the content

has

a stright edge over the

manner of delivery

(4)

Read

the

following

p-assage

and answer

questions that

follow

:

A story

best friend asked him,

After

I hurt

you,

you

the

sand and

why ?

The

other

friend replied

:

When

someone hurts

us,

we

should

write it

down

in

sand

where

winds of

forgiveness

oan erase

it

away.

But, when someone doos

something

good

for

us,

we

must

engrave

it in

stone

where no wind can

ever

erase

it.
