portant skill in society, the skill of being able to interact freely with the
speakers of other languages with whom regular contact is made in the ordina

of daily living which people speak several languages: perhaps one or more at (7)______
home, another in the village, still another for purposes of trade, and yet

People’s language choices are part of the social identity they acclaim for (10)______
themselves. [br]
