Mark 5.00 out of 5.00

Complete the sentences. Select the best word from the word bank There are two words that
you do not need.

    intrapersonal       adept    linguistic        talent    

    interpersonal    sensitive        articulate     -----
 
All professionals must be first and foremost a reliable human being. However, I believe that lawyers
should have two specific intelligences as their strength. The first one is the 

linguistic

intelligence, which means they must be perceptive and

sensitive

to language in order to formulate arguments accurately. In other words, they should be extremely

articulate

to use language easily and fluently to present with clarity and effectiveness any argumentation.

On the other hand, good lawyers must be

adept

at understanding their clients' needs to be successful, and that refers to the second intelligence: the

interpersonal

.

  Nanaimo Marine Festival
Since 1967, the Nanaimo Marine Festival in
Canada has hosted the International World
Championship Bathtub Race. Every year, on a
(usually) sunny Sunday in July, 200 brave
contestants take the bathtub from their bathroom
and attempt to sail it 58 kilometers across the sea
to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. Apart from “the
World’s Cleanest Sport”, there’s plenty more to do
during the four days of the festival, with a street
 A  fair, activities for kids, water sports, informative
displays on boat safety, a marine food fair, and
also the World Championship Garçon Race. Later
on, there’s a spectacular firework display in the
harbor plus musical entertainment. Admission to
the festival is free, though it costs $50 to enter the
Bathtub Race. Registration for that begins on the
Thursday and ends on the Saturday night prior to
the event. With so many activities to run we
always need volunteers, so if you’d like to help
out, please contact us at mail@bathtubbing.com

UNIT TEST 12
Barnesville Potato Days Festival
This annual two-day festival for all things
potato-related in Barnesville, Minnesota
dates back to the 1930s. Anything you
can possibly do to a potato happens over
the two days: you can fry it, throw it, race
it, roast it, eat it, decorate it or sing about
it – and lots more.
First up is the Potato Peeling Contest,
using an old-fashioned potato peeler or
simply a sharp knife. Each contestant has
three minutes to peel as many as
possible, with the winner determined by
 C  the weight of the peeled potatoes.
Nothing is wasted at the Festival, so they
are then boiled and mashed ready either
for the Mashed Potato Eating Contest, or
for the Mash Sculpture Contest, in which
you are invited to turn a pile of mashed
potato into an interesting shape, such as
a dog or cat! The winner receives $50; the
runner-up $25. If you’re staying for the
whole festival, which usually takes place
in the second half of August, the
Barnesville Inn has 13 comfortable rooms
at reasonable prices, while nearby
Wagner Park has space for up to 78
trailers or tents. Reservations should be
made 24 hours in advance.

  The Raleigh BugFest
Every September, the North Carolina Museum of
Natural Sciences holds its insect festival in
downtown Raleigh. Among the attractions is the
Backyard Beekeeper, a class for anyone who
dreams of keeping bees – perhaps for honey – or
just finds them fascinating creatures. There’s a
$10 fee for this workshop, and participants under
16 must be accompanied by an adult. For kids
there are arts and crafts projects, they can have
their faces painted in various insect-like ways, and
 B they can sing along to family music band, The  
Sandbox Band. Watch the 150 centimeter sprint
by your least favorite insects, cockroaches, or
take in a film at the Insect Horror Cinema
(“nothing too scary”, according to the organizers),
where some rather unusual popcorn is available.
And if that’s to your taste, try the Café Insecta,
where the Museum staff point out the biological
similarities between the items on the menu and
creatures that we already enjoy eating, such as
crabs and shrimps. There is no entry charge for
the BugFest, and free parking is available.
