SECTION – A

( Reading )

1. Read the following unseen passage

      and answer the questions given 

      below it.

     It is rare to find someone with good

     technical and communication skills. 

     You can get far a head of your 

     colleagues if you combine the two 

     yearly in your career. People will 

     judge, evaluate, promote or block 

    you based on your communication 

    skills. Since habits form by repeating 

    both good and bad forms of 

    communication, learn to observe

    great communicators and adopt there 

    sytles and traits-in written and verbal 

    forms. The art of listening and 

    learning from each and every 

    interaction, is another secret recipe. 

    Develop the subconscious habit of 

    listening to yourself as you speak 

    and know when to pause.

    Learning what not to say is probably

    more important than learning what to 

    say. As your career develops, you 

    will realize that the wise speak less.

    Speak when you have value to add,

    else refrain. Poorly constructed 

    emails with grammatical errors are 

    acceptable between friends, but they

    should be seriously avoided while

    communicating formally with your 

    seniors. Avoid any communication in

    an emotional state when you might 

    say things you will regret later. One 

    unnecessary word uttered at the 

    wrong time or place can ruin a 

    relationship, career of even your life.

   Such is the power of words. If such a 

    thing happens, you should 

  immediately apologise,else it may 

   haunt you for life.

Another problem to overcome is

speaking too fast. Since our minds are

working faster than our speech, we are.

inclined to speak fast. This does not

necessarily mean that the person

hearing it will get it any faster. On the

contrary, it is always the reverse. So slow

down, and think before you speak.

“When I get ready to speak to

people,”Abraham linken said, “I spend

two-third of the time thinking what they

want to hear and one-third thinking what.

I want to say.”Adding humour and wit is

also essential. But realise that not all

jokes are funny and observe certain

boundaries. Never say anything that

could offend. Remember you are not a

comedian who must offend as many.

people as you can to be witty.
