Communication: Ideals and Problems

The text is quite long, therefore, try to read the whole text but make sure you focus on one part. Please see the table in our document and indicate the part of your choosing. 

Please read the text and take notes/highlight passages that you would like to discuss. You can focus on the parts that you wholeheartedly agree with, but also on the ones that you would like to criticize. Remember to perform a critical reading - i.e. read as "a friend of the text", and "as the enemy". How does the theory apply to your experience?

Be able to summarize the text (in around 3-5 min, including your comments)

Language skills:

Do not check too many words in the dictionary. This should be a pleasurable experience. Try to grasp the idea from the context and resort to checking if you do not understand the message. Should you encounter only a few new expressions, (depending on your language level), do not hesitate to check all of them. The total should not exceed 20 new expressions, if you find work with the dictionary strenuous.

Please write down not only the expressions that are new to you, but also those which are not retained in your active vocabulary, yet you consider these useful.

Write 5 new expressions into our googledoc.

Think of at least 2 questions and 2 comments on the text. 

While presenting use the expressions you've noted down (to enrich your active vocabulary range)
