[Q]: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: Become a confident speaker. How to improve your English speaking skills and make you able to communicate more easily and effectively? The following tips will help you to become a more confident speaker. Practice where you can and when you can. And practice is good -- whether you speak to someone who is a native English speaker or not. It's important to build up your confidence. If possible, use the simple sentence structure that you know is correct, so that you can concentrate on getting your message across. Try to experiment with the English you know. Apply   words and phrases you know to new situations. Native English speakers are likely to correct you if you use the wrong word. They usually don't mind if you use wrong grammar. Try to respond to what people say to you. You can often get clues to what people think by looking at their body language. Respond to them in a natural way. Never translate everything into your own language. It takes you much time and you'll find it difficult to find an English answer right away. You don't know how to do well. The more you want to act well, the more slowly you act. This will make you _  If you forget a word, do what native English speakers do all the time, and say things that 'fill' the conversation. This is better than remaining completely silent. Try using 'um', 'er', if you forget the word. Don't speak too fast! It's important to use a natural rhythm   in speaking English, but if you speak too fast it will be difficult for people to understand you. Try to relax when you speak, and you'll find that your mouth does most of the pronunciation work for you. Speak English at a normal speed. Final tips: Try to become less hesitant. Don't be shy to speak -- the more you do it, the more confident you'll become. Remember to be polite -- use "please" and "thank you" if you ask someone to do something for you.

[Q]: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: During the next several weeks I went completely to the wolves. I took a tiny tent and set it up on the shore of bay. The big telescope was set up in the mouth of the tent in such a way that I could observe the wolves by day or night. Quite by accident I had pitched (set up) my tent within ten yards of one of the major paths used by the wolves. Shortly after I had taken up residence one of the wolves came back and discovered me and my tent, but he did not stop or hesitate in his pace. Later, one or more wolves used the track past my tent and never did they show the slightest interest in me. I felt uncomfortable at being so totally ignored. The next day I noticed a male wolf make boundary markers by passing water on the rounds of his family lands. Once I had become aware of the strong feeling of property rights which existed among the wolves, I decided to use this knowledge to make them at least recognize my existence. One evening, after they had gone off for their regular nightly hunt I staked out   a property of my own, including a long section of the wolves' path. In order to ensure that my claim would not be overlooked, I made a property mark on stones, dumps of moss, and patches of vegetation with a lot of tea. Before the hunters came back, task was done, and I retired, somewhat exhausted, to observe results. A few minutes later, the leading male appeared. As usual he did not bother to glance at the tent, but when he reached the point where my property line intersected (cut across) the trail  , he stopped as suddenly as if he had run into an invisible wall. Cautiously, he extended his nose and sniffed at one of my marked bushes. After a minute of hesitation he backed away a few yards and sat down. Then, he looked directly at the tent and at me. His glare seemed to become more fierce as I attempted to stare him down. The situation was becoming intolerable. To break the impasse   I turned my back on the wolf. Then quickly and with an air of decision, he turned his attention away from me and began a... Options: A Because his tent was out of the wolves' estate boundaries. B Because the author and the wolves were already good friends. C Because they did not know him at all. D Because the wolves were afraid of strangers. Answer: A Because his tent was out of the wolves' estate boundaries. Question:

[Q]: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: Anne Nelson has no doubts when she's arguing with a salesman over the price of a car. She first checks car prices and does some research and then adopts a take-it-or-leave-it attitude. That helped her get 15 percent knocked off the price of a used BMW. But what about asking for a discount on vegetables at the grocery store? Or bargaining for a better rate for a hotel room? To some, maybe the very thought of doing these is terrifying. Bargaining was once considered an old art only done in old world markets. But, this ancient form is spreading rapidly in modern day America, experts say. This is thanks to a weakened economy, a decrease in consumer spending, and most of all, plenty of choices of products and sellers. Experts say that a growing number of people are starting to realize once again that a price tag is merely just a starting point for negotiations. "People want better deals. As economic times have got more difficult, they're no longer afraid to ask for  _ , "says Britt Beemer, chairman of the Charleston, South Carolina travel information and planning office. Experts say that spend-thrift sensibility shouldn't be limited to big ticket items such as homes and cars. Rick Doble, editor of savvy-discounts.com, says he bargains over everything: hotel rooms, electronics, and even food. "Nine times out of 10, when you ask, you'll get a better deal, " Doble says. "Companies know they have to be prepared to offer the best deal these days, "says Steven Cohen, founder of the Negotiation Skills Co. in Massachusetts. "Because consumers have a huge amount of choice, bargaining is becoming more experienced and clever, especially over the Internet. " Options: A Anne Nelson doesn't know whether she can buy the BMW with less money. B Not all consumers hold the view that they should bargain when buying something. C A weakened economy is the most important reason why bargain is spread quickly. D Things sold on the Internet are the cheapest. Answer: B Not all consumers hold the view that they should bargain when buying something. Question:
