THE SCIENCE OF PERSUASION


Persuasion is key to business and to much more besides. In many walks of life and in many situations, persuading people to do what you want them to do is the key to success. Is persuasion a science with rules that can be taught and learnt, or is it simply a matter of instinct and personal experience? Researchers have looked into different aspects of persuasion and come up with some interesting results. 


     One advertising copywriter, for example, came up with an approach to selling a product on a TV shopping channel via phones sales that differed from the norm for such advertising. Instead of being instructed: ‘Operators are waiting, please call now’, viewers were told ‘If operators are busy, please call again’. This might appear to have been a risky tactic, putting potential buyers off by suggesting that they would have to waste their time calling repeatedly until they finally got through to someone to take their order. But the results were extraordinary and an unprecedented number of sales resulted. The advert suggested that instead of there being lots of operators sitting there and hoping people would call, there were so many people who wanted the product that people might have to wait until they could get it. This showed just how desirable the product was. Potential customers decided that, if so many other people wanted it, they definitely wanted it too.


     What role does choice have in persuading people to buy or get something? One study looked at the choices employees made when offered different retirement programmes. This showed that the more choices people were given, the less likely they were to choose anything at all. Another study in a supermarket revealed a similar effect of choice. A particular supermarket displayed either 6 or 24 different kinds of jam. When there were 24 jams to choose from, 3% of customers went to the display and bought one of the jams. When there were 6 jams on display, 30% of customers did so. […]

English Language Day

What is English Language Day?


English Language Day was first celebrated in 2010, alongside Arabic Language Day, Chinese Language Day, French Language Day, Russian Language Day and Spanish Language Day. These are the six official languages of the United Nations, and each has a special day, designed to raise awareness of the history, culture and achievements of these languages.

Why is English Language Day celebrated on 23 April?

This day was chosen because it is thought to be Shakespeare’s birthday, and the anniversary of his death. As well as being the English language’s most famous playwright, Shakespeare also had a huge impact on modern-day English. At the time he was writing, in the 16th and 17th centuries, the English language was going through a lot of changes and Shakespeare’s creativity with language meant he contributed hundreds of new words and phrases that are still used today. For example, the words ‘gossip’, ‘fashionable’ and ‘lonely’ were all first used by Shakespeare. He also invented phrases like ‘break the ice’, ‘all our yesterdays’, ‘fainthearted’ and ‘love is blind’.

The story of the English language began in the fifth century when Germanic tribes invaded Celticspeaking Britain and brought their languages with them. Later, Scandinavian Vikings invaded and settled with their languages too. In 1066 William I, from modern-day France, became king, and Norman-French became the language of the courts and official activity. People couldn’t understand each other at first, because the lower classes continued to use English while the upper classes spoke French, but gradually French began to influence English. An estimated 45 per cent of all English words have a French origin. By Shakespeare’s time, Modern English had developed, printing had been invented and people had to start to agree on ‘correct’ spelling and vocabulary. […]

Q1723850 Inglês
Answer question according to the text below.

A scientific paper led by two researchers at Harvard University made a splash this week by claiming that a cigar-shaped rock zooming through our solar system may have been sent by aliens. Oumuamua, Hawaiian for "messenger" or "scout", was first viewed by telescopes in October 2017. It is the first interstellar object known to enter our solar system.
"There is an unexplained phenomena: the excess acceleration of Oumuamua, which we show may be explained by the force of radiation pressure from the sun. However this requires the body to have a very large surface and be very thin, which is not encountered in nature", co-author and Harvard astrophysicist Shmuel Bialy said.
Their suggestion of an alien force at work went viral. But other astronomy experts aren't buying it Asked if he believed the hypothesis he put forward, Bialy pointed: "I wouldn't say I 'believe' it is sent by aliens, as I am a scientist, and not a believer, I rely on evidence to put forward possible physical explanation for observed phenomena."
Their paper was accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Answer question according to the text below.

As Hannah Campbell happily runs around in the park with her little daughter Milly, passers-by glance in wonder at her running-blade leg. Some kind of accident? Maybe a car crash? A tragedy, whatever it was. They pass on by with no idea that they have just witnessed the only mum in the British Army to lose a limb in a war zone now bravely rebuilding her life. (…) Doctors battled to save her shattered leg through 19 painful operations but in the end she needed a final op to remove it below the knee... and that left her on the brink of death.
Now, 18 months after the amputation, Hannah is happy and smiling as she plays with seven-year-old Milly. Her left leg is gone, but her life is back. “It may be hard to believe, but losing it has enabled me to become a mother again,” says Hannah, who is back down to a fighting-fit 10 stone and will be running in the London Marathon on Sunday.
