TOPIC: “ANALOGY”
OBJECTIVE: Supply words or expressions that complete the analogy.
What is Analogy
An analogy is the comparison through which the ideas or things are compared to each other.
Through Analogy, the things, which are different from each other, are compared. It aims to explain the
ideas or things by doing a comparison.
For examples:
Finding a good man is like finding a needle in a haystack.
-As Dusty Springfield knows, finding a small needle in a pile of hay takes a long time, so the
task at hand is likely to be hard and tedious.
-The analogy works because we think about how much effort and care we must put into plants in
order to make them grow. The speaker finds that children are similar in that they must be cared
for in order to grow as well.
-While you're not flying through the air, the twists, turns and surprises of a movie plot can leave
you feeling like you've been through quite an experience.
Let’s try!
Directions: Supply an appropriate words or expressions the following sentences to complete the
analogy. Choose your answer in the box.

In general, When the subject of a sentence performs the verb’s action, we say that the sentence is
in the active voice. Sentences in the active voice have a strong, direct, and clear tone
PASSIVE VOICE
is used when we want to emphasize the action (the verb) and the object of a sentence rather than subject.
“PASSIVE VOICE”
subject (object/recipient) + a form of to be plus the past participle of the verb
The forms of “to be”:
am, is, are, was, were, be, being, been
Passive voice sentences will contain a “by” phrase indicting who or what performed the action.
Examples
1. The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci.
The Mona Lisa(subject) was painted(verb) by Leonardo Da Vinci.
2. A song has been recorded by Maria.

Ind general, Passive Voice is used when the subject of the sentence is unimportant, unknown, or
refers to a generalized subject. In the passive voice, the thing that receives the action of the verb comes
first, followed by the verb “to be” and the past participle of the main verb. If the actual “subject” of the
sentence is stated, it is called “the agent,” and it follows the word “by”.

Clause
is a group of words that includes a subject and a verb to form a simple sentence or only part of a
sentence.
Two types of clause
Independent clause
Dependent clause
Independent clause
is a group of words that can stand on its own as a sentence: it has a subject, a verb, and is a complete
thought.
PATTERN:
SUBJECT + VERB = COMPLETE THOUGHT
Here are some examples:
1. He ran.
He – Subject
ran – Verb
2. Jim read a book.
Jim – Subject
read – Verb
Dependent clause
is a group of words that also contains a subject and a verb, but it is not a complete thought.
Subordinating conjunction used to introduce dependent clause.
PATTERN:
SUBORDINATE CONJUNCTION + SUBJECT + VERB = INCOMPLETE THOUGHT.
Clause pattern:
INDEPENDENT CLAUSE + + DEPENDENT CLAUSE.
DEPENDENT CLAUSE + , + INDEPENDENT CLAUSE.

In general, Independent and dependent clauses are the building blocks of sentences. A single
independent clause can be a sentence, by itself. However, dependent clauses are used to make sentences more
complete and more interesting. Using conjunctions and proper punctuation, dependent and independent clauses
can be joined together to create interesting and complex compound sentences that are fun and engaging to read.

Reading Strategies
Scanning
Scanning refers to the technique when one looks into the document or the text provided for
searching some specific text such as some keywords.
Example –
Now it may be applied to the real-life example of a dictionary, wherein one looks for a specific
word meaning or a directory wherein one searches for the phone number of someone.
o Scanning requires one to have a look at the whole document quickly at least once.
o Scanning requires a higher understanding of word recognition compared to skimming.
Procedure
You should search for headings and subheadings to get a good grasp of the idea, as to where
your required detail will be found.
How to scan?
o Underline the important information while reading the text (dates, numbers, names etc.)
o When you read the question, identify the key word and scan the text for it. This way
you’ll find the answer more quickly.
Scanning process looks like this:
Skimming
Skimming means quickly reading the text to get only its main idea. To skim effectively,
you need to read only a part of the material.
You have already encountered skimming: when reading a long chapter of a book, or
doing a research on a long article. In such case, you would probably read the first sentences of each
paragraph, dropping down to the end of the paragraph.
How to skim?
1. Read the first paragraph attentively to get an idea of what will be discussed in the text.
2. Read the first (and sometimes the second) sentence of each paragraph - they give the
main idea of the paragraph.
3. After you have read the first sentences, your eyes should drop down to the end of the
paragraph, looking for important pieces of information, such as dates and names.
4. Read the last paragraph attentively as it may contain the summary.
In general, Skimming and scanning, are two very different strategies for speed reading. They are used
for different purposes, and they require different reading skills, but they are very significant to go about reading
comprehension.

There are many occasions in which we need to describe an event or action that happened, and
very often that includes repeating what someone said. Such occasions can include a social situation as
well as in a work email or presentation. In order to describe what people said there are two different
types of speech – direct speech and indirect speech (or reported speech).
Indirect speech
Indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of
the words spoken. We use reporting verbs like ‘say’, ‘tell’, ‘ask’, and we may use the
word ‘that’ to introduce the reported words. Inverted commas are not used.
Example
She said, “I saw him.” —-> She said that she had seen him.
‘That’ may be omitted:
She told him that she was happy.
She told him she was happy.
‘Say’ and ‘tell’:
Use ‘say’ when there is no indirect object:
He said that he was tired.
Always use ‘tell’ when you say who was being spoken to (i.e. with an indirect object):
He told me that he was tired.
Answers:
"I cannot come." - Mary explained that she could not come.
"I could fall down." - He was afraid he could fall down.
"I will pay tomorrow." - He said he would pay the next day / the following day.
"The Himalayas are the highest." - He knew that the Himalayas are / were the highest.
"I may lend you some money." - Bill promised he might lend me some money.
Assessment
In general, Direct and Indirect speech play a crucial in giving an information. In direct speech,
we convey the message of the speaker in his own actual words without any change to another person while
in indirect speech, we convey the message of the speaker in our own words to another person.
Assignment
Direction: A sentence has been given in Direct Speech. Out of the four altenatives
suggested select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Indirect Speech.

The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps
the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention.
- Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen
What is listening?
Listening is the ability to accurately receive and interpret messages in the communication process.
Listening is key to all effective communication. Without the ability to listen effectively, messages are easily
misunderstood. As a result, communication breaks down and the sender of the message can easily become
frustrated or irritated.
If there is one communication skill you should aim to master, then listening is it.
Process of Listening
1. Receiving/Hearing
It refers to the response caused by sound waves stimulating the sensory
receptors of the ear.
2. Understanding
It is the stage at which you learn what the speaker means.
3. Remembering
It is important listening process because it means that an individual has not
only received and interpreted a message but has also added it to the
mind's storage bank.
4. Evaluating
It consists of judging the messages in some way. At times you may try to
evaluate the speaker’s underlying intentions or motives.
5. Responding
This stage requires that the receiver complete the process through verbal
and/or nonverbal feedback.
TYPES OF LISTENING
• Appreciative Listening
• Emphatic Listening
• Comprehensive/Active Listening
• Critical/ Analytical Listening
Appreciative Listening
This is listening for pleasure and enjoyment.
- listen to music, to a comedy routine
- describes how well speakers choose and use words, use humor, ask
questions and tell stories.
• Emphatic Listening
This is a type of listening that provide emotional support for the
speaker.
It focuses on understanding and identifying with a person’s situation,
feelings.
• Active Listening
- listening to understand the message of a speaker.
- As when we attend a classroom lecture focuses on accurately
understanding the meaning of the speaker’s words.
• Critical Listening
-listening to evaluate a message for purposes of accepting or rejecting it.
- sales pitch of a used-car dealer focuses on evaluating whether a message
is logical and reasonable.

Introduction to Search Engines
SEARCH ENGINES
A web search engine is a software system that is designed to search for information on the World Wide
E
Web.
It uses the keywords to search for documents that relate to these key words and then puts the result in
order of relevance to the topic that was searched for.
HOW DOES A SEARCH ENGINE WORK
A search engine is a website, but generally speaking, a search engine wouldn't normally provide answers
straight away. Search engines crawl through websites using computers to make an electronic copy of
website
When we enter a search term and it brings up a number of pages from its database which it thinks are
applicable to your search terms.
The homepage of Google has a button labeled as “I’m feeling lucky”. When a user types in a search and
clicks on the button, the user is directly taken to the first search result.
Google has various “special features” which include weather, unit conversion, currency conversion, time,
calculator, maps etc.
YAHOO
2. DIRECTORIES
Directories depend on human editors to create their listings or the database. Yahoo directory, open
directory and look smart are few examples.
Human-powered directories are good when you are interested in a general topic of search.
Dogpile is a search engine that fetches results from Google, Yahoo! and includes results
from several other popular search engines.
Dogpile began operation in November 1996. The site was created and developed by
Aaron Flin and later sold to Go2net .

Tiger sharks are named for the dark, vertical
Stripes found mainly on juveniles. As these sharks
mature, the lines begin to fade and almost disappear.
These large, blunt-nosed predators have a duly earned
reputation as man-eaters. They are second only to great
whites in attacking people. But because they have a
near completely undiscerning palate, they are not likely
to swim away after biting a human, as great whites frequently do.
They are consummate scavengers, with excellent
senses of sight and smell and a nearly limitless menu of
diet items. They have sharp, highly serrated teeth and
powerful jaws that allow them to crack the shells of sea
turtles and clams. The stomach contents of captured
tiger sharks have included stingrays, sea snakes, seals, birds, squids, and even license plates and old tires.
