WHAT'S IN A NAME? When naming a child, some parents seem to choose a name based simply on their personal preference. In other families, grandparents or professional name-makers come up with a child's name. And in some cases, the time of a child's birth influences how the child's name is determined.  In many European cultures, names are typically chosen by parents. Parents' choice for their child's name may be based on names of relatives or ancestors within their particular family. For example, in Italy, children are traditionally named after their grandparents. The parents generally use the father's parents' names first. If they have more children, then they will use the mother's parents' names, Similarly, some people in Eastern Europe name their children after relatives who have died. This tradition is seen as a means to protect the child from the Angel of Death.  Traditionally in some Asian countries, a child's grandfather or a fortune-teller chooses the child's name. In contrast to the tradition of naming children after relatives, the child's name is chosen to influence the child's character. For example, names may be based on a connection to certain elements such as fire, water, earth, wood, or metal. Or the name might include a written character meaning beauty, strength, or kindness.  In certain African cultures, when a child is born plays a large part in determining the child's name. In Ghana's Akan culture, the day a child is born determines the child's name. But each day has different names for boys and girls. For instance, a boy born on Friday is named Kofi, whereas a girl born on the same day is named Afua. Both Kofi and Afua are names meaning "wanderer" or "explorer." Children with these names are seen as travelers.  No matter where the name comes from, a child's name is the first gift in life. Whether it is chosen according to preference or dictated by tradition, the name reflects something about a child's culture. For that reason, all names should be treasured and respected.  (Adapted from Reading Challenge 2, Casey Malarcher & Andrea Janzen, Compass Publishing)

Some people in Eastern Europe name their children after relatives who are rich. C. In some Asian countries, a child's name is chosen by the child's grandfather or a fortune-teller.  D. In some Africa countries, the day a child is born determines the child's name. Question 35. In some Asian countries, what should names relate to?  A. A child's birth element B. A child's ancestors C. A child's personality D. A child's birth date Question 36. Which is TRUE in Akan culture if a twin brother and sister are born on a Friday?  A. They will have different names.  B.

NONVERBAL INTERVIEW STRATEGIES When interviewing for a new job, you might think that if you are the candidate with the best answers to the interview questions, you'll get the job. However, giving great answers is just one aspect of a successful interview. Sometimes your nonverbal communication, or div language, can make the difference to whether you get your dream job or not.  Experts say that div language can count for as much as 55% of the force of an answer. This means that nonverbal communication is as important, or possibly even more important, than verbal communication. And remember, nonverbal communication starts the moment you walk into a company's lobby. If your nonverbal communication makes a bad impression from the start, it won't matter how well you answer the interview questions.  To make sure you make a good impression and stand out in an interview, there are a few simple rules. Follow these, and you'll have a head start on your competition.  First, be sure to relax and make eye contact naturally with the interviewer. Smile and nod at appropriate times when the interviewer is talking - but don't overdo it. Keep it natural.  Be sure to keep your feet on the floor, sit up straight, and lean a little towards the interviewer to show that you are interested and engaged in the interview. Never lean back. You will look too casual and seem like you are not interested in the interview.  Not sure what to do with your hands? Try your best not to move your hands too much. Hold a pen and a notebook, or relax your hands on your lap, or on the arms of your chair. Make sure to stay calm, and don't move around more than is natural.  Of course, your verbal responses to questions are also important. Be sure to be polite. Always speak clearly. Don't use slang, don't interrupt, and don't laugh unless the interviewer does first. Listen carefully and try to answer questions honestly and in a positive way. At the end of the interview, be sure to thank the inte for taking time to meet with you. Make a good first impression when you begin, and leave with a good impression as well.  When practicing for an interview, work on your nonverbal communication, as well as your other skills. It might just be the factor that gets you the job.  (Adapted from Select Readings, Intermediate, Second Edition, Oxford University Press)
