Task 7. Analyzing Situations<br />

The featured reading text presents several situations that could represent the<br />

concepts below. Study the provided descriptions and participate in a discussion led by<br />

the teacher.<br />

A paradox is basically a sentence that presents a situation that defies logic or the<br />

usual way things are expected to be. Despite this, the idea presented remains true. An<br />

example is : One has to die in order to live.<br />

An irony is said to be present when the presented meaning of a message is<br />

different from the one that is truly intended (verbal irony). This is also associated with<br />

sarcasm or mockery (e.g. Saying ―I‘m so happy‖ when one is truly sad.). Irony is also<br />

observed in the theatre (dramatic or literary irony) when ―the audience knows more<br />

about the situation than the characters‖ 1 and this ignorance causes several conflicts.<br />

Situational irony is manifested when one does something for a specific reason but is<br />

met with a result that contradicts his intention (e.g. Exercising strenuously to be healthy<br />

but ending up ill because of exhaustion.)<br />

An oxymoron is a phrase or a two-word description where the two words contrast<br />

with each other (e.g. deafening silence, sweet sorrow, etc.). An oxymoron can be<br />

considered as a paradox reduced to two words.<br />

Review the story and your output for Task 6 (Predicting Population Trends) and<br />

give 1-2 instances that present a paradox and 1-2 cases of irony. Then, create or cite<br />

an oxymoron that can describe any of the instances you gave. Write your answers on a<br />

sheet of paper.<br />

Task 8. Giving Assumptions and Predictions (Part 2)<br />

Recall what you did for Task 3. You will do the same for this activity using a<br />

different text. Listen carefully as the teacher reads a text twice. List down assumptions<br />

and predictions for the first listening segment. Pay attention to supporting details for<br />

your assumptions and predictions during the second listening segment. Present your<br />

answers using the table on the next page. Copy this on a sheet of paper.<br />
