    1.   Ministry Of Education E.L.T. General Supervision Nominees Exam For The Position Of a Supervisor 2010 – 2011 Time allotted : 2 Hrs

    2.      Technical Questions (50 Marks), I. Reading Comprehension (15 Marks)   Read the following passage ,then answer the questions below:  

    3.   Praise is not the same as flattery. When we flatter someone, we use excessive compliments that are insincere in order to ingratiate ourselves to that person. When we praise, our compliments are in line with the behaviour or accomplishment. We express only admiration that we genuinely feel.

    4.  For praise to achieve its goal and not be perceived merely as flattery, we need to focus the praise on the specific action and make sure that the message is worded so that it is in keeping with the significance or value of the accomplishment or behaviour. If a friend who tends to be forgetful remembers to return a pair of pliers he borrowed that same day that is a behaviour that should be praised so that it is reinforced. But saying, "You're so wonderful, you're on top of everything" reinforces nothing because it is an overly general statement that does not identify a particular behaviour or accomplishment. Overly general statements can be perceived as flattery.

    5. Gushing "Oh, you remembered to return the pliers! I'm so grateful. That was just unbelievably thoughtful of you" is overkill that will be perceived as insincere. Simply saying something like "Thanks for returning the pliers today; I really appreciate it" would be appropriate. A response like this acknowledges the accomplishment by describing the specific behaviour and the positive feeling of gratitude that the behaviour has caused.

    6.        From a, b , c and d choose the right answer. Write your answer on the dotted line to the right. (5X3=15)   1. The author shows bias against ……………….. a- flattery b- forgetfulness c- accomplishments d- praise
