Hello everybody,
Sorry for being absent today. I was feeling a bit under the weather this morning. Today you should've looked at the following vocabulary:

to convey
to be proficient
halting
to be immersed
primary language
mother tongue
passale
to brush up on (something)
to carry on (something)
to master (something)
to retain
a whim
Page 58 / 59
to perceive
to dominate
to converse
to be dismissive
to build rapport
an upshot
Using Contrasts
but, however, in contrast, on the other hand, though, unlike, whereas and while signal contrast.
What I would like you to do, is write a response to the questions below for homework tonight, using at least 3 of the new vocabulary words / expressions.
1) Do you think the communication styles described in the reading are true for you or people you know? Why or Why not?
2) Paolo Rossetti's research says, "male / female communication differences also apply to e-mail discussion groups. Many more "aggressive" or "sarcastic" remarks are made by male participants while women tend to contribute many more "supportive" comments". Do you agree with Paolo Rosetti's research? Why or why not? Give examples.
