1. What is process writing?

Explanation

Process writing refers to a method of writing that involves multiple stages such as brainstorming, note taking, editing, and finally writing. It emphasizes the importance of going through these stages in a systematic manner to produce a well-organized and coherent piece of writing. This approach allows the writer to develop their ideas, organize their thoughts, and refine their writing through the process of revision and editing. It is a structured and thoughtful approach to writing that goes beyond simply typing on a keyboard or writing as quickly as possible.

Explanation

The correct answer is "That's what their told to do." This sentence is incorrect because it should be "That's what they're told to do." The word "their" is a possessive pronoun, while "they're" is a contraction of "they are," which is the correct form to use in this sentence.

Explanation

Asking for stamps in the post office is an example of transactional talk because it involves a specific and practical exchange of information or goods. In this case, the person is seeking stamps, which is a transactional request that requires a direct response. Transactional talk is typically focused on accomplishing a task or obtaining something, rather than engaging in casual conversation or storytelling (anecdote).

5. What is the lexical approach?

Explanation

The lexical approach refers to the teaching method that focuses on highlighting chunks of language. This means that instead of teaching individual words or grammar rules, the emphasis is on teaching and learning phrases, collocations, and common language patterns. By highlighting these chunks of language, learners can quickly and effectively acquire and use language in real-life communication. This approach also encourages learners to develop their vocabulary and fluency, as well as their ability to understand and produce natural, authentic language.

6. You're a Londoner. How many glottal stops are in hot water bottle?

Explanation

The word "hot" has a glottal stop between the "t" and the "w" sound, the word "water" has a glottal stop between the "t" and the "w" sound, and the word "bottle" has a glottal stop between the "t" and the "l" sound. Therefore, there are three glottal stops in the phrase "hot water bottle".

Explanation

The given utterances lack cohesion. Cohesion refers to the logical and grammatical connections between different parts of a text. In this case, there is no clear connection or coherence between the first two sentences "Frisky is on the sofa" and "Yesterday I bought some lemons." The lack of cohesion makes it difficult for the reader to understand the relationship between these two unrelated statements.

8. Reading or listening for gist rather than detail is an example of...

Explanation

Top down processing refers to the approach of understanding information by using prior knowledge and expectations to make sense of new information. When reading or listening for gist rather than detail, individuals rely on their existing knowledge and expectations to quickly understand the main idea or overall meaning of the text or conversation. This is different from bottom up processing, which involves analyzing individual details and building up to a larger understanding. Inferring and schemata are related concepts that can be used in both top down and bottom up processing, but they do not specifically address the idea of reading or listening for gist.

9. If you're using Cuisenaire rods in the class

Explanation

The given correct answer suggests that if you are using Cuisenaire rods in the class, then you are following the Silent Way approach. This approach is a teaching method that emphasizes student autonomy and encourages learners to discover and construct knowledge themselves. The use of Cuisenaire rods, which are manipulative tools, aligns with the Silent Way approach as they allow students to physically manipulate and explore mathematical concepts independently. Therefore, the presence of Cuisenaire rods in the class indicates the application of the Silent Way approach.

10. Typically, a wh-question has which tone?

Explanation

Wh-questions typically have a falling tone. This means that the pitch of the voice starts high and then gradually falls towards the end of the question. This falling tone helps to signal that a question is being asked and creates a sense of expectation for the listener to provide an answer.
