When we do study our language, though, we are often surprised that we are able to understand our conversations.
16、Words can mean so many different things. However, it turns out that the speaking situation helps a lot in making language work.First, the speaking situation helps make words more particular. For example, the word “dog” can describe a dog that a speaker saw in a dream. It can also be used to discuss
17、a neighbors dog. No language has a separate word for the idea “dog that I saw yesterday” and another word for the idea “dog that I saw in a dream.” This is because the speaking situation makes it clear what speakers mean when they use words. So, when you have a conversation with your neighbor, the k
18、nowledge that you have a dog tells your neighbor what the word “dog” probably means in that situation.The speaking situation also helps make language clearer. For example, the word “bank” has two possible meanings. It can mean “a place where people keep money,” but it can also mean “the side of a ri
19、ver.” So the sentence “I went to the bank” is not clear. It could mean I went to the side of the river or it could mean I went to the place where my money is kept. However, if the speaker is talking about fishing or going to the mountains, others probably know that “bank” means “the side of a river.
20、”The things that speakers say may not always be clear. Sometimes the words are not very particular, but the speaking situation can provide the meaning. Other times words may have many meanings. Then the speaking situation limits the right meaning. This extra knowledge from the situation is very impo

25、 License Office half an hour earlierthat Tuesday morning, pacing back and forth on the worn porch waiting for the office to open at eight. I reviewed the drivers manual for the hundredth time.

You want to take the drivers test.” his voice was not enthusiastic.“Yes!” I answered in excitement.“Ok, fill this out, and if you pass well go for a drive.”I grabbed the test a
