Business culture (source) When traveling abroad for business, learning the local business etiquette is more important than learning the language, as most international deals are conducted in English. In Japan, for example, receiving someone’s business card with both hands, taking some time to admire it before carefully placing it in your cardholder shows your respect for your business counterpart. In many countries, meetings are often carried out during a meal. In these occasions, the host usually pays and, as a guest, offering to pay would cause great offence. However, in Mexico, your host may interpret your suggestion to discuss business at a restaurant as a romantic proposal. What is the main idea of the passage? Learning the language of your host can enhance your business skills. Appropriate table manners are necessary for successful business. It is a Japanese custom to start interactions by exchanging business cards. Adapting to local business customs avoids embarrassing situations. None 5. Medical jargon (source) The unexpected outbreak of a new viral illness in 2020 meant that guidance on prevention and treatment had to rely on developing scientific evidence.

Generally speaking, in fact, most people would find the language of the healthcare industry difficult to understand. The consequences of misunderstanding medical advice and guidelines can be severe, causing confusion over the message conveyed and leading to misinformation. What is the main idea of the passage? The result of miscommunication can be serious. Understanding medical language can be complex. Learning another language can be difficult. Preventive regulations change too quickly to be followed.

Sumo Wrestling Written records of sumo date back to the 8th century AD and it has been a popular sport for over a thousand years. However, sumo has developed throughout the centuries and the wrestlers, called rikishi, lead their lives by a strict code of conduct and ceremony which connects them to the Shinto religion and the ancient samurai tradition. Each of them belongs to a ‘stable’, where they live, eat, sleep and train. All rikishi wake up at 5 o’clock every day, including weekends. Discipline and routine are necessary for their physical and mental wellbeing. During their five hours of hard training, the rikishi carry out a range of exercises, depending on which part of the body they want to work on and the goal they want to achieve: strength, flexibility, balance etc. Their meals are rich in protein and contain a variety of ingredients, such as vegetables, tofu, meat and fish, accompanied by several bowls of rice. They eat large quantities of food and, if they are considered under-weight, they might be forced to eat even more rice. After their meal, the rikishi sleep for a few hours. This is very important because the lack of movement allows the high calorie intake to be transformed into fat, thereby ensuring an increase in body weight.

Creative Writing There’s no doubt that writing is an art and, as such, it cannot be taught. After talking to a university professor who teaches creative writing, I have discovered that it is very rare to come across a course participant who has the talent and the right attitude to make it as a published author. Creativity, imagination, and observational skills are the key features of a good writer. These are unique characteristics that cannot be learnt, but stem from the personality of an individual. However, they can be practiced and developed – which should be the focus of attending a respectable creative writing course. Another vital aspect of literary success that should not be underestimated is the writer’s attitude towards criticism. Although it can be constructive, helping them improve their future work, writers often face useless, negative feedback. This can be the cause of self-doubt and low self-esteem, and it might even lead an aspiring writer to giving up writing altogether. Because of this, writers should develop ‘thick skin’ and avoid getting offended by what others say. In addition to this, while it is important for writers to separate useful from harmful criticism, they should also keep an open mind about the feedback they receive. This helps them create a bond with their audience, which has the advantage of improving a writer’s popularity. Which of the following is a prediction based on the last line of the passage? Writers’ audiences do not directly impact their success. New writers aren't aware of the disadvantages of becoming popular. Popularity is something all writers strive for. Developing rapport with their audience can be positive for a writer's career. None 24. Circus – Advertisement 1 Do you have a unique skill? Are you ready to share it with the world?
