Q.l. Do you agree that ,in its final form ,communication is a manifestation of the personalities of both the sender and the receiver? Discuss. [10]

Q.2. It is the audience which acts as the main factor in determining what your presentation contains and what it does not .In the light of the above statement, choose a topic of your choice for a presentation and briefly explain, in about 150 words, how you would change the opening of the presentation to suit the following different audience: [10] (a) Students (b) Audience that has no knowledge of the topic (c) Experts on the topic

Q.3. Write a Precise for the passage given below: [ 15]

The best definition of an adult that was ever given is one who has stopped growing at both ends and has begun to grow in the middle. But no one has ever given a good definition of a teenager.

George Bernard Shaw once said, ' It is a pity that youth has been wasted on the young'. The contrary is true. It is no secret at all that the Good Lord knew, it was better to put the illusions of light at the beginning, in order that as we grew closer to eternity, we might better see the purpose of living.

Since we cannot think of a good definition of a teenager, possibly it would be interesting to discuss the psychology of the teenager. The psychology of the teenagers may be reduced to three dominant characteristics: self consciousness, imitativeness and restlessness.

The difference between a child and a teenager is that a child wants to be loved, a teenager wants to Jove. The affection of free choice are preferred to the natural affections in 'the family.

When the teenager emerges, he discovers his own personality and begins to affirm his ego. A teenager is like a chick just breaking the shell in which he has been confined - the shell of the family- and beginning to find himself in a great, broad world.

Identification bracelets begin to appear: 'its me'. Up to this point, his life has been merged very much in the family. If the parents say, 'We are going to visit Aunt Jane today', the child has to go. But the teenager puts up an arguments; he refuges to be a part of an anonymous group. His personality asserts itself, saying, '1 don't want to go.' This is the age when the boy begins to carry a comb, and the girl wins the battle of lipstick. The only word in which they feel at home is with fellow teenagers.

Hence they have a language of their own. Only in their own mIlieu do they feel they are understood.

They are proud of it when nobody understands them. Ordinary words have little exchange value, particularly with adults. There is much they would have to say if they could find words. Fear of being misunderstood drives them to silence or else to bebop talk, which only the initiated can understand. '

In addition to that, they love to wear clothes that attract attention. They feel that there is a kind of conspiracy against their own ego which they resist by over asserting themselves. The boys wear socks that are so loud their feet can never go to sleep. Girls do their hair a thousand different ways to express various personalities. There is a fondness for writing names on fences, driving hot rods, making loud noises on street corners and in buses, in order that people may be conscious that here, at last, a personality is beginning to emerge. Gestures are quick, gauche, and awkward. Sloppiness is cultivated to attract attention; feelings are easily hurt. But all these are signs that a personality is being born into the adult world, and democracy is founded on personalities. Be not too hard on them.

The second characteristic of the teenager is imitation. The ego must emerge from its inferiority. It may do it in one of two ways, either by creation or by imitation. If the teenager is keen on developing his own character, being himself and not someone else, then he creates; he assumes responsibility; he has a sense of value, and he discovers the purpose of life and concentrates on the development of his character in a constructive way. His is willing to say 'No' to certain things. He resists the crowd and the mob, knowing that the crowd and the mob are often wrong. There are not many, however, who are creative, even the minority.

The third characteristic of a teenager is restless. The teenager is like mercury which can be dispersed in several directions. The restlessness is due in part to the discovery of vital and biological impulses stirring within.

Th~ body - imperative is more immediate than the so~ - imperative. Hence, the teenager finds perseverance difficult and the long attention to the same subject almost impossible. It is this fidgety quality which most tries the patience of adults. He discovers less the laws than the illusion life. This tremendous physical energy is ready to spend itself on a tackling dummy or jitterbugging but almost completely disappears when mother wants the screens put up in the spring.: time. Puppy love, crushes and infatuations are common, There are friendships that seem closer than the friendship of teenager and yet there are hardly any friendship that are quite as . volatile. Adults must remember, however, that this urge for affection, for love, for friendship, for society, is good and right. God put it in them and it is not to be crushed, but developed along right lines.
