V Read the passage below carefully then choose the best option for each sentence
If you are invited to an American friend’s home for dinner, remember these general rules for polite
behaviour. First of all, arrive approximately on time but not early. Americans expect promptness. It will be
all right to be 10 or 15 minutes late, but not 45 minutes late. When you are invited to someone’s home for
meal, it is polite to bring a small gift. Flowers and candy are always appropriate. If you have something
attractive made in your country, your host or hostess will certainly enjoy receiving that gift. What will you
do if you are served some food that you can not eat or you do not like? Do not make a fuss about it. Simply
eat what you can and hope that no one noticed it. Be sure to complement the cook on the food that you are
enjoying. Do not leave immediately after dinner, but do not over-stay your welcome, either. The next day,
call or write a thank- you note to say how much you enjoyed the evening.

Communication in general is process of sending and receiving messages that enables humans to share
knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Although we usually identify communication with speech, communication is
composed of two dimensions: verbal and non-verbal.
Non-verbal communication has been defined as communication without words. It includes apparent behaviors
such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice, as well as less obvious messages such as dress, posture and
spatial distance between two or more people.
Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence others and these others, in turn,
respond to these communications and thus they are communicating.
Commonly, non-verbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced and refined throughout a
person's lifetime. Children first learn non-verbal expressions by watching and imitating, much as they learn verbal
skills.
Young children know far more than they can verbalize and are generally more adept at reading non-verbal cues than
adults are because of their limited verbal skills and their recent reliance on the non-verbal to communicate. As
children develop verbal skills, non-verbal channels of communication do not cease to exist although they become
entwined in the total communication process.

A. looking at the words that are written B. understanding
C. saying something aloud D. expressing

A. spatial distance B. tone of voice C. words D. facial expressions

A. have learnt how to communicate in non-verbal language through books
B. can communicate in non-verbal language only when they are mature
