Text- 1 What is important when people are in a group? The two genders often have different ideas about this. For women, equality is important; in other words, women usually want all people in a group to have the same status. They often see conversation as a way to connect with other people - in other words, to be close to them and find ways that they are similar - almost the same. For men, it s important to have a high status in the hierarchy (the system from low to high positions). They usually see conversation as a way to give and get information, but also a way to climb up in the hierarchy. For example, a man might have a high status if he has more information than others or can tell funny stories. Men and women also have different body language. They have different ways to communicate with their face and body. Imagine a room full of people of both genders. Notice their body language. Women like eye contact. They need to look directly into each other s eyes. Men usually don t like eye contact. In a gathering, women like to sit face to face. Men like to sit side by side. In conversation, people of both genders often nod - move their head up and down. This means Yes, but there are other meanings. For women, it usually means, I m listening to you. I understand. But for men, it usually means, I agree. As you see, the two genders often communicate in different languages! A. Write answers to the questions. 3 Marks 1.

So, how do you know which home remedies really work? Scientists believe that these home remedies really are effective: Hot chicken soup is a popular home remedy for colds. For a long time, doctors have recommended drinking any hot liquid to relieve cold symptoms. However, research shows that hot chicken soup is especially helpful.

Soaking in an oatmeal bath can help itchy skin. Put one or two cups of oatmeal in a bathtub filled with warm water. The oatmeal will help stop the itch. If you have insect bites or sunburn, the bath will make you feel better. Baking soda can help bee stings to stop hurting. Make a paste of baking soda and water and put it on the bee sting.
