THE RECIPE FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION
How many people do you communicate with in a day? Probably a lot more than you did ten years ago. With a few pieces of
equipment we can „talk‟ to people in more and more ways, not (15) ……..face-to-face and on the phone, but also through the
Internet. It is very important, therefore, for everyone to try and improve their communication skills. Despite all the
technological advances of (16) ……… years, the art of good conversation is still at the heart of successful communication. So
it is a good idea to remember the four golden rules of good communication. (17) ……., be as clear as you can.
Misunderstandings happen if we don‟t say correctly (18)……….we mean. Secondly, we have to
work hard at listening. Pay attention to what the other person is saying. Thirdly, ask other people what they think, don‟t only
tell them what you think. Fourthly, give them time to say what they want, and show interest in what they say. If you (19)……..
these rules, you will be a good communicator.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 6 to 10.
In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the
day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires
immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call
during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A, guests tend to feel they arc not highly regarded if the invitation to
a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the
world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date
more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus,
misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American
life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S no one would
think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, he will say
a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.
