Challenges in Effective Communication
Language is a method of human communication, either spoken or written, whereas communication is exchanging
the information Language & communication are both interrelated. For better understanding or functioning, communication should be clear and concise. Though effective communication is essential, there are several barriers to effective communication. The major issue is language as we know, every country or community has a different language when it comes to speaking or understanding, it is difficult for the other person.
At times, even people speaking the same language have difficulty understanding each other. The second one is time, where everyone is busy in today's life; we hardly get time to talk to each other, and on top of that, if we are in different countries, the time zone also matters. Noise is another barrier, as while speaking to anyone, if there is any disturbance over the phone, network, or internet, it interrupts our talks. The next barrier is distance. As we are all living in different parts of the world, the ways or methods of communication also differ. We call to talk over the phone, message to chat on different sites, or may do a video call using Skype or another app using the internet. The distance impacts these factors and can interrupt our communication, like when we talk while travelling. Distraction is another issue that becomes a barrier to effective communication, as while talking to a person, if we are distracted, the communication can go on a different track or may move out of the topic rather than the actual topic. The other problem is discomfort with the topic, like in a conversation if the other person is not comfortable talking about a specific topic, it may leave the conversation without any conclusion or of no use. Lastly, lack of interest also hampers the communication, like if a person is not interested in your talks, he may ignore it, might not be attentive, or may get half knowledge and all other possibilities. Hence, for effective communication, all these factors matter and should support an individual in a conversation.

Computer Assisted Language Leaming (CALL) materials come in two main formats: CD/DVD RO Ms and Web-based. Some are tailored to the content to be used in the classrooms whereas others can be used independently. CALL materials allow you to work at your own pace.
Multimedia materials offer you the opportunity to take part in other computer-assisted activities, such as text-based gap-filling, multiple-choice and text reconstruction activities. Language teachers often develop such text-based CALL activities to accompany a particular course. CALL materials can be regularly updated.
Because CALL learning activity types are usually designed from a template, they can sometimes be repetitive.
A major advantage of CALL materials is that they offer instant feedback on your spoken or written performance. However, such feedback can be limited. If you are more interested in creating your own responses or elaborating on your ideas, you may find this type of Facebook frustrating. Web-based CALL materials can offer more variety through the use of hyperlinks, but feedback is still limited.
Just as representations of the cultures of the target language offered by courses using books; audio and videotapes can perpetuate stereotypes.

Read the following paragraph about ‘The causes of pollution and the possible solutions’ and tabulate the same information.
Pollution is the contamination into the natural environment that causes adverse change. Pollution levels are increasing day by day. There are various reasons for it. Air pollution is caused chiefly by industrial pollutants and by increased levels of RSPM due to higher flow of vehicular traffic. Water pollution is caused to a large extent by industrial effluents and the immersion of POP idols. Sound pollution levels have increased due to blaring loudspeakers during festival time and increased volume of traffic.
In order to solve the problems of air pollution, the chief method seems to be tree plantation. More and more citizens and NGO’s should take up green causes with civic authorities. We need to protect our forest and conserve our mangroves. In order to solve the problem of water pollution, we need to develop effective waste management techniques. Also eco-friendly idols should be used during festival time. An awareness by the general populace is very necessary to solve the problem of sound pollution. Strict enforcement of decibel levels during occasions and festival time by the police is a must.
Use the following table for your answer.
Pollution | Caused by | Solution |

Quite often it is your family and friends who are the only source of solace in times of tension and confusion. Whether it is the time of exams, results and admission, school issues or a misunderstanding with a dear friend, you will notice
that your family members might want you to share your worries with them. One great advantage about sharing problems with your family members is that they actually care about your happiness. Your problem will not go beyond the people whom you are confiding in and will ensure that you are relieved of the stress and worries besides being the source of practical solutions for your problems.The relief it brings is immense not just for you but also for them as they would be the happiest to see you relaxed and calm. This is what makes family bonding
special. Situations such as these can bring you closer to your siblings and make you realise that such oneness is unique and special.

Read the following paragraph and convert into a tree diagram:
Two common types of oils are animal oil and vegetable oil.
Some of the commonest
sources of animal oils are from the livers of the cod and halibut, two kinds of fish. These oils are very nourishing. They are a great source of vitamins, and hence are recommended for under nourished children. We get oil from other creatures as well, but it is the whale that yields the most. The whale has a thick coating of fat called blubber which protects it from the extreme cold of the Arctic seas. Whales are often hunted for this oil. To make this oil fit for human consumption blubber is stripped off from a dead whale and boiled, most often on board the ship.
egetable oils are extracted from different plant parts such as seeds, nuts and the flesh of fruits. They are widely used in cooking. From very ancient times they have been used in households for various reasons. The oils of certain flowers are extracted to make perfumes. Vegetable oils such as castor oil are used as medicine and as lubricants. In recent times, there have been debates on using waste vegetable oils as fuel.
