3. Oral Examinations
Oral communication implies communication through mouth. It includes individuals conversing with
each other, be it direct conversation or telephonic conversation. Speeches, presentations, discussions
are all forms of oral communication.
Q-2(a) Draw “mind mapping” on a proper Graphic Organizer for writing task on given topics.
Choose any two of the following topics.
(1) Advantages and Disadvantages of being an Emcee rather than participant of the program
Advantages of being an Emcee participant:
Every event has (or should have) a feel about it. You certainly don’t want an inappropriate comic
upsetting the bigwigs of your party; and equally, you don’t want a bore sucking the life out of what
was supposed to be a fun and lighthearted evening. Is it going to be the serious sort with room only
for the politically-correct joke that draws polite laughter? Or is it going to be irreverent where more
risqué things can be said? Whatever the flavor, find an emcee that fits the atmosphere.
Disadvantages of being an Emcee participant:
Maintaining audience interest is the number one challenge for event professionals. Even the most
engaged audiences struggle to maintain focus when event content is exclusively business. Giving
attendees a mental break and allowing them the opportunity to internalize your message is a great
way for an expert master of ceremonies to provide value. If you wish for your audience to retain the
content – help their brains and let the master of ceremonies summarize, repeat and reframe key
points with a different voice throughout the event.
(2) How to take care of your nonverbal communication during your Business Idea presentation
Scan the audience, make eye contact with different areas of the audience or make four- to five-second
eye contact with individual audience members. Rather than standing in one spot during the
presentation, stroll around the stage naturally.
(3) Compare and Contrast between your skills of communication now and before attending this course
After conducting this course, I more confident and I feel more enhancement in my communication.
Q-2 Write short notes on the following topics with the help of illustrations and mind maps.
Sense and use of smell different cultures like different smells and use smell differently (for example, some
cultures try to cover up all bodily smells and some cultures feel they are natural and should not be covered
up.
Repetition: It repeats and often strengthens the message you’re making verbally.
Contradiction: It can contradict the message you’re trying to convey, thus indicating to your listener that you
may not be telling the truth.
Substitution: It can substitute for a verbal message. For example, your facial expression often conveys a far
more vivid message than words ever can.
Complementing: It may add to or complement your verbal message. As a boss, if you pat an employee on the
back in addition to giving praise, it can increase the impact of your message.
Accenting: It may accent or underline a verbal message. Pounding the table, for example, can underline the
importance of your message.
believes he gets along great with his colleagues at work, but if you were to ask any of them, they would say
that Jack is “intimidating” and “very intense.” Rather than just look at you, he seems to devour you with his
eyes. And if he takes your hand, he lunges to get it and then squeezes so hard it hurts. Jack is a caring guy
who secretly wishes he had more friends, but his nonverbal awkwardness keeps people at a distance and
limits his ability to advance at work.
Q-3(a) how will rubric help you for the group discussion which you have prepared in group presentations.
Write a commentary of five lines about it.
Q-4 Read the quotes carefully and writes a persuasive Speech on the topic. Also select a suitable audience
analysis chart and give a report about the audience with whom you will conduct this session.
“The importance of Spiritual wellbeing over materialism”.
Materialism is a psychological construct reflecting the extent to which an individual believes that it is
important to attain money, possessions, image, and status, relative to other aims in life. This chapter
reviews evidence showing that materialism is a fundamental aspect of the human value system that stands
in relative conflict with intrinsic values concerning personal growth, close interpersonal relationships, and
helping others. Meta-analytic results and longitudinal studies demonstrate that people report lower levels
of well-being when they prioritize materialistic values and goals. Because materialism is also negatively
associated with pro-social and pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors, a strong focus on such aims is
likely to undermine the well-being of other people, other species, and future generations. Recent studies
show that materialism can diminish when people receive interventions that encourage intrinsic values, that
involve deep inward reflections, or that lead them to disengage from and question the messages of
consumer culture. Support for a value-based conceptualization of materialism comes from research showing
that such aims consistently emerge as a fundamental set of values across cultures. For instance, Schwartz’s
(1992) cross-cultural work has identified a cluster of self-enhancing values that includes “wealth,” “preserving
my public image,” and “social power,” as well as being “ambitious,” and “influential.” Further, Burroughs and
Rindfleisch (2002) demonstrated that the Richins and Dawson (1992) measure of materialistic values is
highly positively correlated with these self-enhancing values (as well as with hedonistic values). Using a
measure of personal “aspirations” or goals, Kasser and Ryan (1996) similarly showed the emergence of an
extrinsic factor composed of aspirations for financial success Grouzet et al. (2005) demonstrated that these
three extrinsic aims consistently cluster together in the goals of college students from 15 nations. One of the
primary questions that researchers have asked about materialism is whether prioritizing such values promote
or hinders people’s personal well-being. Since the earliest studies on this topic (Belk, 1985; Cohen & Cohen,
1996; Kasser & Ryan, 1993, 1996; Richins & Dawson, 1992), dozens more have been conducted. Dittmar,
Bond, Hurst, and Kasser (2014) recently undertook a thorough search for and subsequent meta-analysis of
published and unpublished studies on the relationship between materialism and well-being.
While living a happy, satisfying life free from depression, anxiety, compulsive consumption, and
substance abuse is clearly part of what it means to “live well,” from my perspective, it is only part.
Individuals exist in families, communities, and ecospheres in which their actions affect the lives, and thus
the well-being, of other people, other species, and future generations. Thus, it is theoretically possible that
some individuals could experience relatively high levels of personal well-being while also behaving in ways
that hinder the well-being of others. Such individuals would certainly not be “living well together”
(Deneulin & McGregor, 2010). Ecological sustainability is another aspect of “living well together” with which
materialism appears to interfere. To test this idea, Hurst, Dittmar, Bond, and Kasser (2013) meta-analyzed
published and unpublished data from 13 independent samples that reported 26 different effects results
showed that materialism was negatively associated with pro-environmental attitudes behaviors. Apparently,
the desire for more and more money and stuff is one factor that leads people to treat the planet in ways that
leave less for other people, other species, and future generations to meet their needs.
Given this definition and these operationalizations of materialism, the current chapter does not review the
growing research literature on the associations between well-being and how people use their money, e.g., if
they spend it on experiences (Van Boven & Gilovich, 2003) or prosaically (Dunn, Aknin, & Norton,
2008). It would be interesting, however to connect these two literatures more explicitly, especially given
that experiential and prosocial spending might reflect a person’s attempt to incorporate intrinsic values into
their monetary behavior.
Audience analysis involves identifying the audience and adapting a speech to their interests, level of
understanding, attitudes, and beliefs. Taking an audience-centered approach is important because a
speaker’s effectiveness will be improved if the presentation is created and delivered in an appropriate
manner. Identifying the audience through extensive research is often difficult, so audience adaptation often
relies on the healthy use of imagination.
I would conduct this speech in front of Apathetic Audience.
Q-5(a) Rewrite the following by paraphrasing the direct quotations into indirect quotations.
(i) Tom Nelson, president of the citywide Parent Teachers Association: "Our major concern this year will be security in the
schools, particularly in the high schools. We will be working with school officials on ways we can help create a safer
environment for the education of our children. A number of incidents in the past year have been very disturbing to many
parents. We are going to try to provide a way for those parents to make a real difference in their local schools."
Tom Nelson who is president of teachers association citywide, the security of the high school is on priority
we’ll be working with school officially to make the safe environment for the children. There are many
incidents held in last year who are very disturbing to many parents. We’re trying best to provide good

III. What factors make an entertainment speech different from information speech? Write important aspects which
you will consider for your chosen topic of Entertainment Speech
An informative speech aims to inform the audience about a specific topic. A persuasive speech aims to
persuade the audience to perform a certain action or convince the audience to adopt the belief or opinion of
the speaker. Many speeches will combine features of informative and persuasive speeches.
In broad terms, an entertaining speech is a speech designed to captivate an audience's attention and regale
or amuse them while delivering a message... However, they can also be given on more mundane occasions,
where their purpose is primarily to amuse audience members or arouse them emotionally in some way.
