I. Summary writing (40%)
Read the following passage and write a
summary of it in around 100 words.
Two
aspects
of
participants
need
to
be
taken
into
consideration
in
reading
the
contextual
grammar
of
speech
situations:
who
they
are
and
what
roles
they
are
taking.
Naturally
,
of
course,
the
sheer
number
of
participants
is
a
significant
aspect
of
any
communicative situation.
To
begin
with
number
first,
any
speech
event
needs
to
take
into
consideration
the
number of participants even
if just to know how to prepare the
setting. A
meeting of 200
people
cannot
be
easily
held
in
a
conference
room.
It
is
equally
true,
but
for
a
very
different reason, that a meeting of
twenty people cannot be held in a large
auditorium. In
arranging
for
an
event
such
as
a
lecture
or
a
sales
presentation,
most
professional
communicators
would
prefer
to
arrange
to
have
a
space
just
a
little
larger
than
the
number
of
people
would
require.
If
the
space
is
too
small,
people
are
made
uncomfortable since not
everyone will be able to sit well or to see the
main speaker or
presenter. On
the other
hand
if
the space
is
very
much
too
large,
people
will
tend
to be
seated
widely
apart
from
each
other
and
that
will
create
a
sense
of
isolation
and
social
coldness.
Y
et
number
is a
relatively
minor aspect of
the study of participants.
It
is
much
more
important to know who
the participants are and what roles they take. It
is well known, for
example, that
most governments
have
protocol offices whose job
is to
make sure that all
participants
in
government
functions
will
be
given
just
the
right
treatment.
Seating
at
state
dinners,
for
example,
is
an
important
matter
of
correctly
signifying
the
relative
positions of power and authority among
the invited guests.
A second aspect, of equal
importance,
is to
understand
not just
who the
participants
are
but
what
roles
they
are
taking
within
the
speech
event.
It
is
quite
conmmon,
for
example,
for
someone
who
is
of
major
importance
within
a
company
or
some
other
organization
to
have
what
is
an
apparently
insignificant
role
in
an
actual
speech
event.
