Comparison and Contrast (continued)

On Monday 29, February.Today we are studied about Comparison and Contrast. The lecturer answered  the homework that she gave. It is  Men and Women:  Do They Speak the Same Language? and then she request someone to be a volunteer for writing their opinions on the white board in the topic that " Differences between the language of Men and Women ". Men and Women have problems with "cross-cultural communication to Tannen, while men use to show indepenence, status, and  power, women use language to establish connection and intimacy. After that, we do the exercise about it and answer the question.

I think  man and women use different language to handle conflict differently.

Man

- Use language to show independent,  status and power.

- Use different language from women.

- Show skills and knowledge

- Talk more what they know.

- Voice disagreement openly.

Women

- Use language to establish connection and intimacy.

- Misunderstand what men say.

- Talk about other people.

- Talk less what they know.

- Avoid opening disagreement.

I think that this lesson was easy for me because I could understand and comprehend about the given text for reading. When I read the texts, I always used how to find the features of a procedure (instructions) for reading easily. Sometimes I used dictionary on my smart phone for helping for finding the meaning that I didn't know.
