（5%）
The study of language can be interesting, stimulating and rewarding. There is no other
subject which has such direct relevance to your everyday life and whose benefits can be readily
seen in quality of your existence. You had already worked out systems of language for
communicating with others, especially to get what you wanted, before you came to formal
education. The fact that you said “buyed” instead of “bought”at age of three was not
reflection of your incompetence, but indication that you had already begun to
work out sound for past tense of verb ,only to be thwarted by
nature of English language in having so many irregular forms.
Already today, as you read this, you will have used your language in a variety of ways for
variety of purposes. You will have spoken to your friends at college in different
way from way you spoke at breakfast time at home. If you have already had to
do some written work, you will have used different form of your language from that
accepted in group, discussion. Nor does . versatility in your uses of language end
there. You will know yourself that you are capable of using variety of language structures
and range of vocabulary according to your audience and impression you want
to give and response you want to elicit. Similarly you will have mastered how to respond
to language use, whether written or spoken. You will have established for yourself, possibly
intuitively, means of assessing when remark is to be taken seriously or humorously or
when person is being friendly or matter-of-fact or hostile. Sometimes person you
know well does not have to utter complete statement for you to know what is meant, and
conversely you may sometimes pick up wrong signal and misunderstand person
because of choice of word or stress given to a syllable.
