CLASS #2 Assignment

As the homework, I read this article.

"Men. Women. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Hear? No."
from The New York Times

I think that it says...



One woman, Dr. Tannen who is 45-year-old, teaches in the School of Language and Linguistics at georgetown University in Washington has written some books about the problem of communication across cultural, class and ethnic divides.
In one book, she argues that boys and girls grow up speaking different languages and continue to do so as adults. She also suggests that conversation between men and women can be involved with cross-cultural-communication. It's like women speak and hear a language of connection and intimacy, men do a language of statue and independence.
Men and women has different senses of values of communication. Both of them should have conversational style "rapport talk" each other, then they can get along with more.
