One of the most important features that
distinguish reading from listening is the nature of the audience. {{U}}(67)
{{/U}} the writer often does not know who will read what he writes, he must
{{U}}(68) {{/U}} to be as clear as possible. Time can be taken to
plan the piece of writing so that it is eventually organized into some sort of
{{U}}(69) {{/U}} sequence of events or ideas. When we speak,
however, we normally have very little time to plan what we {{U}}(70)
{{/U}} to say. Since we are actually {{U}}(71) {{/U}} our audience
face to face we may {{U}}(72) {{/U}} some of the information we believe
our audience shares. And the more {{U}}(73) {{/U}} we are with our
audience, the more information we are likely to leave out. In any
{{U}}(74) {{/U}} they can always stop and ask a question or ask for
{{U}}(75) {{/U}} if we have left out too much. A reader, however,
cannot do this but can at least attempt comprehension at his own speed;
{{U}}(76) {{/U}}, he can stop and go backwards or forwards,
{{U}}(77) {{/U}} to a dictionary or just stop and rest. When we listen
we may have to work hard to {{U}}(78) {{/U}} out the speaker's thoughts
by referring backwards and forwards while the speaker continues. As the
speaker {{U}}(79) {{/U}} to organize his thoughts, he will use Filler
phrases to give him time to plan. In spite of these fillers, he will
{{U}}(80) {{/U}} make mistakes and repeat what he has already said.
His speech will be characterized {{U}}(81) {{/U}} a limited range
of grammatical patterns and vocabulary and the use of idioms to {{U}}(82)
{{/U}} some general meaning quickly. It should be clear, then, that the
listener has to take an active {{U}}(83) {{/U}} in the process by
ignoring the speaker's {{U}}(84) {{/U}} and mistakes, and by seeking out
the main idea information through recall and prediction. To keep the process
going {{U}}(85) {{/U}} he also has to inform the speaker that he has
understood {{U}}(86) {{/U}} actually
interrupting.
