a. people tend to associate leadership with fear b. working conditions affect peoples physical healthc. good relationship is the key to business successd. smart people are more functional in the work place49. to positively influence employees a leader should first of all _.a. provide better suggestions b. develop his own personalityc. give his employees a pay rise d. hide his own emotion of fear 50.good leadership is mainly seen in a leaders ability to_.a. provide a variety of project for employeesb. help raise employees living standardsc. give employees specific instructionsd. deal wisely with employees emotionsethe hardest languagepeople often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration. firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally. 5 1 a native speaker of spanish, for example, will find portuguese much easier to learn than a native speaker of chinese, because portuguese is very similar to spanish, while chinese is very different. 5 2 the greater the differences between the second language and our first, the harder it will be for most people to learn. 5 3 teachers and the circumstances in which the language is learned also play an important role, as well as each learners motivation for learning. if people learn a language because they need to use it professionally, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life.apparently, british diplomats and other embassy staff have found that the second hardest language is japanese, which will probably come as no surprise to many, but the language that they have found to be the most problematic is hungarian, which has 35 forms of a nouns according to whether it is subject, object, etc. 5 4 in the case of hungarian for british learners, it is not a question of
