Assignment 2020-21
Section A
1. Read the
following passage and answer the questions.
Don’t
Blame the Eater
David
Zinczenko
The New York
Times
Nov. 23,
2002, Section A, pg. 19
If ever
there were a newspaper headline custom-made for Jay Leno's monologue, this was
it. Kids taking on McDonald's this week, suing the company for making them fat.
Isn't that like middle-aged men suing Porsche for making them get speeding
tickets? Whatever happened to personal responsibility?
I tend to
sympathize with these portly fast-food patrons, though. Maybe that's because I
used to be one of them.
I grew up as
a typical mid-1980's latchkey kid. My parents were split up, my dad off trying
to rebuild his life, my mom working long hours to make the monthly bills. Lunch
and dinner, for me, was a daily choice between McDonald's, Taco Bell, Kentucky
Fried Chicken or Pizza Hut. Then as now, these were the only available options
for an American kid to get an affordable meal. By age 15, I had packed 212
pounds of torpid teenage tallow on my once lanky 5-foot-10 frame.
Then I got
lucky. I went to college, joined the Navy Reserves and got involved with a health
magazine. I learned how to manage my diet. But most of the teenagers who live,
as I once did, on a fast-food diet won't turn their lives around: They've
crossed under the golden arches to a likely fate of lifetime obesity. And the
problem isn't just theirs -- it's all of ours.
Before 1994,
diabetes in children was generally caused by a genetic disorder -- only about 5
percent of childhood cases were obesity-related, or Type 2, diabetes. Today,
according to the National Institutes of Health, Type 2 diabetes accounts for at
least 30 percent of all new childhood cases of diabetes in this country.
Not
surprisingly, money spent to treat diabetes has skyrocketed, too. The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that diabetes accounted for $2.6
billion in health care costs in 1969. Today's number is an unbelievable $100
billion a year.
Shouldn't we
know better than to eat two meals a day in fast-food restaurants? That's one
argument. But where, exactly, are consumers -- particularly teenagers --
supposed to find alternatives? Drive down any thoroughfare in America, and I
guarantee you'll see one of our country's more than 13,000 McDonald's
restaurants. Now, drive back up the block and try to find someplace to buy a
grapefruit.
Complicating
the lack of alternatives is the lack of information about what, exactly, we're
consuming. There are no calorie information charts on fast-food packaging, the
way there are on grocery items. Advertisements don't carry warning labels the
way tobacco ads do. Prepared foods aren't covered under Food and Drug
Administration labeling laws. Some fast-food purveyors will provide calorie
information on request, but even that can be hard to understand. For example,
one company's Web site lists its chicken salad as containing 150 calories; the
almonds and noodles that come with it (an additional 190 calories) are listed
separately. Add a serving of the 280-calorie dressing, and you've got a healthy
lunch alternative that comes in at 620 calories. But that's not all. Read the
small print on the back of the dressing packet and you'll realize it actually
contains 2.5 servings. If you pour what you've been served, you're suddenly up
around 1,040 calories, which is half of the government's recommended daily
calorie intake. And that doesn't take into account that 450-calorie super-size
Coke.
Make fun if
you will of these kids launching lawsuits against the fast-food industry, but
don't be surprised if you're the next plaintiff. As with the tobacco industry,
it may be only a matter of time before state governments begin to see a direct
line between the $1 billion that McDonald's and Burger King spend each year on
advertising and their own swelling health care costs.
And I'd say
the industry is vulnerable. Fast-food companies are marketing to children a
product with proven health hazards and no warning labels. They would do well to
protect themselves, and their customers, by providing the nutrition information
people need to make informed choices about their products. Without such
warnings, we'll see more sick, obese children and more angry, litigious
parents. I say, let the deep-fried chips fall where they may.

Ayesha:
Breathe Easy Solutions, Ayesha speaking. How can I help you?
Milind:
Hello, this is Milind Bansode. May I speak with Mr. Suresh Malkotia, please?
Ayesha: One
moment please – I'll put you through. Ayesha:
Mr. Bansode?
I'm sorry, Mr. Malkotia is in a meeting at the moment. Would you like to leave
a message?
Milind: Yes,
could you ask him to call me back as soon as possible? It's pretty urgent.

Milind: He
has my office number, but let me also give you my mobile number– it's
9830457717.

the subsequent telephone conversation between Mr. Suresh Malkotia and Mr.
Miliand Bansode when Mr. Malkotia calls Mr. Bansode back.
Milind:
Hello? Suresh: Mr.Bansode, this is Suresh returning your call.
Milind:
HelloMr. Malkotia, thank you for getting back to me. I was calling about the
shipment of intelligent air purifiers for our hospital - we haven't received
them yet. Suresh: Oh, that's not good - they were supposed to be delivered
three days ago if I am not wrong.
Milind:
Exactly, and we have a new section to be inaugurated on Monday, so wereally
need those air purifiers as soon as possible.
Suresh:
Okay, I will look into it right away - if necessary, we can send you
anemergency overnight shipment. Milind: Thanks, Mr. Malkotia, I appreciate it.
Suresh: No
problem, Mr. Bansode. I will call you back a little later, as soon as I have
moreinformation.
Milind:
Sounds good – talk to you soon. Suresh: Have a good day, Mr. Bansode.
On the basis
of what you have learned about telephone conversations and different domains,
how will you analyse the conversations between (i) Ms. Ayesha and Mr. Milind
and (ii) Mr. Suresh and Mr. Milind?
Depending on
your analysis of the domain of these conversations, recreate these telephone
conversations considering them to be taking place in the opposite domain type,
whereby Mrs. Ayesha is Mr. Malkotia’s family member.
2. Based on
what you have learned about intonation, read the following sentences and
specify the type of intonation in each of them with a brief explanation of each
choice. 20
i) Finish
your homework or you cannot go out with your friends.
ii) Mr.
Qureshi does not want to be disturbed. What do you need from him?
iii) What a
gorgeous place! Isn’t it perfect for the photoshoot?
iv) Does
Gauri like her new workplace or is she planning to apply somewhere else?
v) As long
as it is cold, my parents will be using the heater.

going to get coffee. Do you want a cup? vii) In case Arun asks for me, tell him
that I will meet him on Monday.

ix) Nusrat
will not call Ravi unless there is a medical emergency at home.
x) Raushan
and Komal have prepared parantha, dal makhni, kadai paneer and tandoori chicken
for our get-together.
3. Consider
this sentence: This is my house!
Depending on
the placement of stress, it can have three versions with three different
interpretations:
This is my
house! (implying a particular house being owned or resided by me, and not any
other house)
This is my
house! (implying the house being owned by me, and not by anybody else)
This is my
house! (implying the domain of interaction being my house, and not any other
domain like my workplace or the market)
Now, look at
the following sentences and determine the different possible versions,
specifying the variation of stress and the corresponding change of meaning as
shown above.
i) Mihir
went to London last year for postgraduation.
ii) Prerna
will meet Darsheel in the theatre next Wednesday.
iii) I don’t
think Sameer will reply to Gautam.
iv) Why are
you not doing your assignment?

a completely baseless accusation!

ix) How is
his opinion a factor for the conference? x) I put my credibility at stake to
