PASSAGE 2

 

[1] Language is a vital tool for communication. It is not only a means of communicating thoughts and ideas, but 
it builds friendships, economic relationships, and cultural ties. We can communicate only with signs without 
language. Moreover, a language distinguishes the differences and also celebrates the uniqueness of cultures in a 
country or in a region or in a community. A language shapes the way people perceive the world and it also helps 
[5] to define the culture of any society. Any language is a gift; the knowledge of more than one language makes a 
man more efficient and skillful in many ways. It opens our minds and guides us into a magical world of fancies 
and dreams. The proper learning of language helps us to develop ourselves, our minds, and also our personality. 
Human language is unique because it is a symbolic communication system that is learned instead of biologically 
inherited for some people. 

[10]    The three important functions of a language are as follows: 
    1. Informative function: 
    The primary function of a language is to communicate any information. This function accepts or denies 
assumptions such as the scientific fact or the factual statements. This function helps us to state the logical facts 
clearly. 
[15]    2. Expressive Function: 
    The secondary function of a language is to convey the feelings or emotions or attitudes of somebody. We 
have poetry and other forms of literature in order to express our inner feelings in a better way. They evoke our 
feelings and also express our feelings. 
    3. Directive Function: 
[20]    This function of language directs us to do some action. We come across directive function in requests and 
commands. 
Hence it is proved that language plays an important role in different walks of life.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), the ability of a digital computer or computer-controlled robot to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings. The term is frequently applied to the project of developing systems endowed with the intellectual processes characteristic of humans, such as the ability to reason, discover meaning, generalize, or learn from past experience. Since the development of the digital computer in the 1940s, it has been demonstrated that computers can be programmed to carry out very complex tasks - such as discovering proofs for mathematical theorems or playing chess - with great proficiency, Still desite continuing advances in computer processing speed and memory capacity, there are as yet no programs that can match full human flexibility over, wider domains or in tasks requiring much everyday knowledge. On the other hand, some programs have attained the performance levels of human experts and professionals in performing certain specific tasks, so that artificial inteligence in this limited sense is found in applications as diverse as medical diagnosis, computer search engines, voice or handwriting recognition, and chatbots.

One of the most fascinating aspects about the world is the great diversity that exists among people. So, we need to understand that human beings are indeed quite different. And we need to understand exactly what these differences are, so that we can see how such diversity can be enriching. Our neighborhood may be composed of people from diverse backgrounds with different traditions, beliefs, and lifestyles. Our classmates may represent a variety of nationalities. When we learn about diversity, we can broaden our horizons, open ourselves up to new possibilities and find there are many choices and opportunities in life.
