Communication Skills is undoubtedly an important aspect of our study in
KNUST and wherever we find
ourselves. Be it in our profession or in our day to day interactions with
people. The style/format of the
Comm. Skills exam changed just last academic year. For this reason,
it is very necessary to “update”
ourselves. Find below sample questions.
Disclaimer: the questions are just sample questions and does not mean
you will see
Exactly that in your exam. They are for revision purpose only.
SECTION A: COMPREHENSION: Read the passage below and answer
all the questions on it. Choose from the options A-D the one which best
answers each question.
Europeans who come to West Africa at first cannot understand the
African custom of bargaining before
buying or selling. They start off by buying at the price asked in the market,
and then when they learn
from friends that they have paid far too much, they are angry at having
been cheated. Later on, when
they know more about the African way of life, they realize that it is only
when one judges such an
incident from the point of view of a different society that one feels one has
been cheated. The truth isBY JEAN (FINANCIAL PLANNER)
that there is no word like „cheating‟ in the African market, or, if there
is, it is not applied to open
negotiations like bargaining. It is considered perfectly legitimate for the
market-woman to ask 5 kobo for
fruit worth only 2. In fact, she doesn‟t really think her fruit is worth 2
Kobo - it is worth whatever a
customer is prepared to pay for it, as long as this is above a certain
minimum price sufficient to reward
the farmer for the work done to produce the fruit. If 5 Kobo seems a
reasonable price to you, and you
pay it, the seller is happy at having found a rich customer, and does not
think she ought to tell you that
she has been selling the same kind of fruit all day for 2 Kobo. Bargaining
is a kind of buying and selling by consent- both buyer and
seller working towards a price, the
buyer at too low, and, gradually moving up and the other moving down,
they work towards a price
which is acceptable to both. In other areas, this method would lead to a
quarrel or even a fight, the
seller‟s reaction to too low a price being to call the buyer all sorts of
names, such as „Scoundrel!‟ „Rogue!‟
„Daytime robber!‟ In such areas, the acceptable method is for the buyer to
offer the seller a slightly
lower price than the one asked; the seller agrees to this, then another offer,
still lower, is made andBY JEAN (FINANCIAL PLANNER)
agreed to, and this goes on until at last a price is reached which is the least
to which the seller will agree.
If this suits the buyer, the sale is made. If not, after a final unsuccessful
attempt to beat down the price,
he may go away to another seller, hoping that one will agree to a more
reasonable price.
On the other hand, African students who go to Europe discover, sometimes
to their embarrassment,
that prices there are generally fixed. A newly arrived student goes into a
shop, and, being told that an
article is 50 pence, offers to pay 40. The shopkeeper, unused to haggling,
replies very rudely that 50
pence is his price, and he (the student) may take it or leave it. The student
is embarrassed at having
made such a mistake, and either leaves the shop without buying what he
had come for, or else buys far
more than he had intended, in an awkward effort to show the shopkeeper
that it was not poverty that
made him offer a lower price.
Sometimes, the bargain-hunting student thinks he has at least discovered a
place where he can use his
experience in bargaining to advantage. This is when he goes to one of
those special markets, like
Petticoat Lane in East London, where goods seem to be offered at very low
prices, and the sellers areBY JEAN (FINANCIAL PLANNER)
prepared to bargain and accept a lower price. But he may soon find out he
is wrong again. Traders of
this kind are very persuasive talkers, and will talk the buyer into thinking
he has found a real bargain: but
on reaching home and carefully examining the goods, he may find that
there is something wrong with
them, and they are not worth what he paid for them.
After an experience of this kind, the average student is only too happy to
return to the fixed-price shops,
where at any rate he is sure he is paying a fair price for his purchases, and
getting a reliable quality in
return. He can suspend his liking for bargaining until he is back home
again in Africa.
