Answer to Question 1

The answer should include instruction in choice of formal or informal speech,
preservation of the dignity of the first language, an early start in working with the
second language, and the encouragement of communication in the new language
among children. Students might also consider the merits and drawbacks of the
various forms of bilingual education mentioned in the chapter.

Answer to Question 2

Switching codes is the process of changing from proper speech to a colloquial or
more informal form of the same language. The formal code is used in the classroom
and with most adults (for children), and the informal code is used with friends and on
the street. The codes used are dependent upon the social context. Examples of
code usage will vary and should clearly differentiate between formal and informal
speech.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
