Paragraph #1:
Since all of my recommendations call upon you to prepare for speaking by writing out, in some form,
what you wish to say, it is, first of all, of great importance to recognize that what is written to be read has a radically
different character from what is written to be heard. The remarkable difference between listening and reading-the one requiring
you to keep moving forward irreversibly with the flow of speech, the other allowing you to proceed at your own pace and to
go forward or backward at will by simply turning the pages-demands that you accommodate what you write for listening, as contrasted
with what you must do for readers. M.J. Adler "Preparing and Delivering A Speech" How to Speak, How to Listen.
Paragraph #2
Fairy tales are unique, not only as a form of literature, but as works of art
which are fully comprehensible to the child as no other art form is. As with all great art, the fairy tale's deepest meaning
will be different for each child and different for the same child at various moments in his life. Bruno Bettelheim, The Uses
of Enchantment, Alfred Knopf, 1977.
Paragraph #3
The age of the average worker has gradually increased
over the past few decades.This trend has affected businesses in two ways. First, older workers tend to put greater demands
on a company's health insurance, life insurance, and retirement benefit programs. And second, younger workers taking the
places of retirees tend to want different things from employers-things like more opportunities for self-expression or more
leisure time. Griffin & Ebert, Business, Prentice Hall, 1993.
