10. In order to communicate effectively with other people, one must have a reasonably accurate idea of what they do  and do not know that is pertinent to the communication.

a) Clear communication builds on what the audience know and do not know. It is crucial to assume the audience have neither too much nor too little knowledge of the subject, or the communication may be inhibited by either confusion or offense.
b) To interact with other people, one should have an idea of what they either know or not know. If you treat people as though they possess knowledge that they do not have, it will result in miscommunication and definitely embarrassment. Basically, in conversation, one generally will not convey to others information that he assumes they already have.
c) For effective communication, it is necessary to have a fairly accurate idea of what our listeners know or do not know that is pertinent to the communication. If we assume that people know something they do not, then miscommunication and perhaps embarrassment may result.
d) Effective communication depends on a generally accurate knowledge of what the audience knows. If a speaker assumes too much knowledge about the subject, the audience will either misunderstand or be bewildered; however, assuming too little knowledge among those in the audience may cause them to feel patronized.

English 30-2 assignment booklet Assembly Line Poem by Shu Ting In time’s assembly line Night presses against night. We come off the factory night-shift In line as we march towards home. Over our heads in a row The assembly line of stars Stretches across the sky. Beside us, little trees Stand numb in assembly lines. The stars must be exhausted After thousands of years Of journeys which never change. The little trees are all sick, Choked on smog and monotony, Stripped of their color and shape. It’s not hard to feel for them; We share the same tempo and rhythm. Yes, I’m numb to my own existence As if, like the trees and stars -perhaps just out of habit -perhaps just out of sorrow, I’m unable to show concern For my own manufactured fate. Paper Matches My aunts washed dishes while the uncles squirted each other on the lawn with garden hoses. Why are we in here, I said, and they are out there? That’s the way it is, said Aunt Hetty, the shrivelled-up one. I have the rages that small animals have, being small, being animal. Written on me was a message, “At Your Service,” like a book of paper matches. One by one we were taken out and struck. We come bearing supper, our heads on fire.’
