F. Dont be afraid to pause and breathe. Listeners need time to reflect on what you are saying. Just like we need «white space and punctuation on the written page, we need pauses when we speak. Talking non-stop is a huge drawback. Having the confidence to pause for a few seconds in between sentences commands attention rather than diverts it.
G. The appearance plays an important role in presenting ourselves to society. The people who wear clothes suitable to their body structure look attractive. A persons physical appearance creates a definite impact on the communication process. Our clothes should not be too modern for the people whom we are interacting with. However, they should be able to create a positive impression on them.

Satellite TV
Ever wonder ___ (A)? Theres actually quite a bit of science going on behind the scenes, with several components working together to bring you that digital quality signal.
Your channel selection begins with the programming sources themselves. Companies like Showtime, HBO or Cinemax create their programming.

Justice Hurts
At this time, Williams trial was nearing its end in the courthouse, and everything became clear. The jurors had grown tired over the course of the case but listened to the judge pronouncing Williams sentence. Things had clearly come to a sad end.
«despite the lack of evidence of a premeditated murder, pursuant to Paragraph 210 of Part 2 of the USAs Criminal Code, even the unintentional loss of a persons life during a robbery, rape, arson, kidnapping or escape from custody must be considered in any case as an extreme indifference to the value of human life, and must be qualified as a first-degree murder. Therefore, the court pronounces a sentence of two life sentences for each murder and the verdict comes into force from the moment of this announcement.»
There were no further comments from anyone. It wasnt a death sentence. They let him him live. Everyone in the court room looked round in surprise, not daring to express any emotions. William even looked up at the judge, trying to understand what had just happened, but he didnt succeed. His head was empty and he couldnt think straight; Williams mind was already dead and a life sentence was no different for him than death, so all the way back to prison he rolled in the back of the van in a complete daze.
In the cell, its narrow walls seemed to shrink even more, as Williams eyes reacted to changes in lighting and in the darkness, his mind wandered to a darker place as he thought the depths of a grave probably looked the same.
William stood inside the cell, hearing the door lock, and he couldnt take any step forward. He forced himself to look around at the walls and think carefully. He had to talk to his friend Tom again. He approached the door and called a guard over, telling him the request. The guard didnt answer, leaving William alone with the silence, and the waiting game began. The next morning, he was informed about his impending transfer to another prison, and in the afternoon, the door to Williams cell suddenly opened, and he was informed of a visitor.
«Thomas?», William asked, sitting up.
«What?» the guard asked.
«Is it Thomas Wilson, the detective officer?»
«No,» the guard responded coldly.
«The lawyer?» asked William, less enthusiastic than before.
«No. Turn around and face the wall with your arms stretched out,» it was an order, not a question.
The walk down from the third floor felt like an eternity for William. When he finally reached the glass screen in the visitation room, he couldnt believe his eyes. The small reporter, Linda Wu, sat in front of him on a wooden chair, holding her purse.
«Hold it,» a voice was heard from behind William and the guard handed him a book. William saw that this book wasnt in the best condition and had many torn pages and looked crumpled.
«I was asked to give this to you,» Linda said from behind the glass, weakly.
«What? Who gave it you?» William was at a loss as to whod sent him the book. It had an unassuming and uninteresting cover it was some kind of romance.
«There, take a look inside,» Linda replied. «I was told that you were looking forward to seeing this photo,» she said, trying to smile, but her face instead showed sadness and sympathy for Williams situation.
«A photograph?» William muttered, taking an envelope from the middle of the book. Surely, this mustve been scanned before it had got to him to make sure it wasnt contraband. He opened the envelope to find a Polaroid photograph of a little girl wearing a white raincoat and beret. She stood on the embankment near a large bridge and squinted in the sun, very much like his own daughter. «This looks like Sofia!» he thought, before realizing what had actually happened in the courthouse. It was worse than the life sentences hed been ordered to serve William had to live with the thought that Sofia had a daughter and that she lived with someone else.
William clenched his fists and looked up at Linda behind the glass.
«Are you alright? Whats wrong?» she asked.
«This is Sofias daughter, Im certain of it,» William said approaching the glass. «She stayed with that person whos behind all this, see?» he stopped and realised that the only person that could help was sitting right in front of him. «Linda, listen to me,» he whispered. «Can you find Thomas Wilson for me? My partner, the detective officer Hes been transferred to the Phoenixs office; can you find him and tell him Ive remembered something?»
Suddenly, Linda pursed her lips, her eyes sparkling. She removed her mask and took out a napkin to wipe her nose.
«Im sorry, I wanted to make you feel better. Im so sorry. Ive got a lot of time, though, now, as Ive got no job, the channel is closed. I think I might be able to move to Phoenix and find work, although it might be difficult.»
«Really?» William couldnt believe what hed just heard. «Then, I beg you, write down what Ive asked you shit, there isnt a pen and paper. Okay, try and remember what Ive asked you and write it down, when you get out of here. Contact Jimmy Huston in the police office, he should tell you where Tom is now.»
«I will, dont worry,» Linda said with a reassuring tone.
«So, listen. When I entered the hotel room, Fred Brown called me «Dannie. Let Tom find everyone with this name in the cases Ive investigated. Im certain that this «Danny mustve lived here in the city. This man is close to the real killer and he must be found hes very important. Im certain that my granddaughter is with him. Please tell Tom about this, and stop crying. Ive got two life sentences to serve. Thanks for coming Linda, its not for nothing, Im certain. Yes, justice hurts, but Ill await your return.»

Life Changes
When Andrew Garter was offered the position of Senior European Sales Manager in a large, successful multinational corporation, he 30 at the chance. One of the main reasons for his immediate acceptance was the opportunity for a large amount of foreign travel. He could see himself relaxing in a cafe by the Seine after a hard days business, before jetting 31 ___________ to an important meeting the next morning in Prague. How romantic it all seemed.
And yet now, only eight months after his first day in the job, how different his emotions were.

Leafing through the menu, Andrew was struck by another desire for some simple, home-cooked food. He sighed.
And then he thought the unthinkable. «I dont have to 35 ___________ on like this,» he said out loud. «Im still young. My whole lifes ahead of me. I could quit my job and do something I really enjoy. So what if I dont make so much money? Money isnt everything.»
It would take several years, and a number of 36___________ starts, but finally Andrew Carter did leave his highly-paid position. He was scared, but for the first time in his life he was truly content.
