4. Let’s speak

You will read a short passage and then listen to a talk on the same topic. You will then be asked a question about them. After you hear the question, you will have 30 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak.

Emotion Display Rules

Emotion display rules are the unwritten and often unformulated “rules” guiding the show of emotion in different cultures. They help determine which emotion can be shown in what way by whom and in what situation. Research has shown that not only deliberate but even spontaneous shows of emotion follow rules that vary with culture. Often, what emotion may be displayed and in what way change depending on the agent’s age, gender, social status etc. One presently unpopular corollary to the existence of such rules is the implication that cultural stereotypes may , indeed, have a basis in fact.

Now, let’s listen to a talk on the same subject. Note-taking:

Question: Explain how the example of the professor’s four-year-old daughter demonstrates the concept of emotion display rules in the reading passage.
