Empathic listening occurs when we want to enjoy and appreciate the messages we listen to

Briefly define the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis and analyze the following example in terms of the hypothesis: Shu-Hwi was invited to a Chinese speaker's home for dinner and she was asked by the host if she wanted more soup

The word "no" as in "no thank you," does not have a direct translation in Chinese. Shu-Hwi could say, "bu yao (not want)," but that would be considered rude and immature. The appropriate response in Chinese and translated into English would be something like, "The food is very delicious. I am full. Thank you." Furthermore, Shu-Hwi may have to say this three times to her host. What will be an ideal response?

Which of the following is an effective way to provide closure in the conclusion?

A) Leaving a story from the introduction open-ended B) Answering your opening rhetorical question. C) Introducing a new fact or statistic that is even more startling than the ones you used throughout your speech. D) Reminding the audience that you are credible so they should listen to you
