A Reading
How to attract someone’s attention?
• To clap hands : vỗ tay
• To point at : chỉ vào
• To nod: gật
• To approach: đến gần, lại gần
• To whistle: huýt sáo, huýt còi
• To give a handshake: bắt tay
• To wave your hands: vẫy tay
Read the passage and do the tasks that follow (mp3.1)
To attract someone’s attention so that we might speak to that person, we can use either verbal or non-verbal forms of communication Let us look at non-non-verbal communication in English Probably the most common way of attracting someone’s attention is by waving For example, if we are at a noisy party and see a friend come in the door about 20 metres away, we might raise our hand and wave to her as a signal that we see her
But how hard can we wave in a situation like this? Suppose you are at the airport, and you see your
brother get off the plane and begin walking toward you If you are excited, you might jump up and down and wave as hard as you can to attract his attention This is the instance where big, obvious non-verbal signals are appropriate
There are, however, some social situations where smaller non-verbal signals are more appropriate In a restaurant, for example, if we want to attract the attention of our waiter, we have several choices We can wait until he passes near us, catch his eye, and nod slightly to let him know we would like him to come to our table Or we can raise our hand slightly to show that we need assistance We do not whistle or clap our hands
to get the person’s attention That is considered impolite and even rude

In most social situations where some informality is allowed, a brief raise of the hand and a small wave is fine For instance, if you are walking across the schoolyard and see your teacher approaching you, a small friendly wave to attract his or her attention is appropriate
Once you’ve got your friend’s attention, you shouldn’t point at the person or thing you want her to look at
A slight nod will do Pointing at someone is usually considered rude Of course, there are times when pointing
is perfectly acceptable, such as when a teacher wants to get someone’s attention in class The teacher often points to the student and says, “David, would you read the next sentence, please?” Pointing here is not
impolite; it’s simply a way to get someone’s attention

The Telephone - Potential Family Battleground
Hello everyone In today’s talk I'm going to give you some pieces of advice on how to use the telephone in the most decent way so as to avoid unnecessary disagreements between you and members of your family The telephone, as you know', is a marvelous instrument, but it may cause arguments between you and your parents - arguments that could be easily avoided if you would sit down, talk it over, and agree to a few simple regulations
The most obvious problem, of course, is what everyone considers a reasonable length of time for a call The exact duration must be worked out with your parents, but ten minutes should be an absolute maximum That’s certainly long enough to say almost anything in five different ways, and yet it isn’t so long that other members of the family will become apoplectic Even when your parents are out, the length of your call should
be limited, because they, or someone else may be trying to reach your home for a very important reason Calling hours should be agreed upon If your parents object to your leaving the dinner table to take calls, tell your friends to avoid calling at that hour; if someone does phone, ask him to call back, or offer to call him when dinner’s over
A serious calling problem is calling very late at night, or very early on weekend mornings This particular mistake is made mostly by young people who consider 10 or 11 p.m when a lot of tired adults are happily sleeping, the shank of the evening So please tell your friends not to call after ten o’clock The shock of
walking out of a sound sleep and the fright of that instant thought - “There’s an accident” - are enough to give your parents a heart attack Weekend morning calls aren’t so startling, but it’s the one time your parents can sleep late
