Translate the following text:To aid in understanding the history of formal public relations as well as its practice today,Professors James E. Grunigof the University of Maryland and Todd Huntof Rutgers: The StateUniversity of New Jersey have constructed four models of public relations. All four models are</p><p>practiced today, but the ideal one that in increasing use is the two-way symmetric model.They explain their models in their 1984 bookManaging Public Relations:Press Agentry/Publicity. Propaganda is the purpose, sought through one-way communication thatis often incomplete, distorted, or only partially true. The model is sourcereceiver. Communicationis viewed as telling, not listening, and little if any research is undertaken. P.T. Barnum was theleading historical figure during this models heyday from 1850 to 1900. Sports, theater, and product</p><p>promotion are the main field of practice today.Public Information. Dissemination of information, not necessarily with a persuasive intent, is the</p><p>purpose. The model is sourcereceiver. Research, if any, is likely to be confined to readabilitytests or leadership studies. Ivy Lee is the leading historical figure during this models earlydevelopment period from about 1900 into the 1920s. Government, nonprofit associations, and</p><p>business are primary fields of practice today.Two-Way Assymetric. Scientific persuasion is the purpose and communication is two-way, with</p><p>balanced effects. The model is sourcereceiver with feedback ()to the source. Research is bothformative, helping to plan an activity and to choose objectives, and evaluative, finding if the objecthas been met. Ivy Lee is the leading historical figure during the models period beginning in the1920s. Competitive business and public relations firms are the primary places of practice today.Two-Way Symmetric. Gaining mutual understanding is the purpose, and communication is two-way with balanced effects. The model is groupgroup with feedback (). Formative research isused mainly both to learn how the public perceives the organisation and to determine whatconsequences the organisation has for the public, resulting in the counseling of management about</p><p>policies. Evaluative research is used to measure whether a public relations effort has improved boththe understanding publics have of the organisation and that which management has of its publics.</p></li><li><p>7/13/2019 Caiet Engleza Intermediari1</p><p> 6/43</p><p>Caiet de exerci!ii Exercises for students</p><p>6</p><p>7. Imagine a dialogue between Mr. Wakefield and his wife in the text below:Let us now imagine Wakefield bidding adieu to his wife. It is the dusk of an October evening. Hisequipment is a drab greatcoat, a hat covered with an oilcloth, top-boots, an umbrella in one hand</p><p>and a small port-manteau in the other. He has informed Mrs. Wakefield that he is to take the nightcoach into the country. She would fain inquire the length of his journey, its object, and the probabletime of his return; but, indulgent to his harmless love of mistery, interrogates him only by a look.He tells her not to expect him positively by the return coach, nor to be alarmed should he tarry threeor four days; but at all events, to look for him at supper on Friday evening.

WHO IS THE IMAGE BUILDER?</p><p>1. Translate the following article from The Times:Alan Hamiltonwatches the Queen venture into a strange world of trainers and plastic washing-up</p><p>bowlsThose determined to portray the monarch as a peoples Queen could hardly have designed a more</p><p>populist day out for her yesterday: she spent the morning in Ellesmere Port, shopping forkitchenware and a pair of trainers, sustaining herself with a visit to a drive-in McDonalds.Being the Queen, she bought neither canvas shoes nor plastic washing-up bowl, and no Big Mac</p><p>passed the royal lips. But as an exercise in carefully stage-managed window-shopping, it opened theeyes of both Sovereign and subjects.Her visit to the Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet Village fitted the new pattern that has emerged tocounter criticisms of remoteness that surfaced after the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. Typicallyon an away day, the Queen now meets far more ordinary people in everyday situations and farfewer flunkeys.</p><p>As the royal limousine drew up outside the burger bar, there seemed a momentary danger that theQueen might have to go inside to learn the mysteries of Quarter-Pounders and Chicken McNuggets;</p><p>but she was spared, and her meeting was restricted to meeting the staff on the pavement outside.She looked a mite glum.Pausing briefly to talk to members of a shopping motability group, and to be told that it would costher 3 to hire a battery wheelchair, the Queen decided to walk, first to Whittards Coffee andKitchenware store to browse among the utensils. She was fascinated by the plastic bowls; shecouldnt make out what they were made of, the manageress Katie Bellis said later. The shop</p><p>presented her with a green glass bowl and some barbecue tools, which may yet find employment atBalmoral.The royal shopping entourage moved on to the Reebok store, where she engaged the managerDarryl Peacock in conversation on the latest in sports shoes. I asked if she would like to buy a pair,</p><p>but she just smiled. She did take an interest in one sweater which she said Prince Philip might like,Mr. Peacock reported.Earlier the Queen, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, had toured the nearby Blue Planetaquarium, the largest in Britain, to come face to face with a sand tiger shark; fortunately there wasstout protective glass between them. The rest of her day, which included visiting a hospital and a</p><p>power station, seemed deeply traditional by comparison.</p></li><li><p>7/13/2019 Caiet Engleza Intermediari1</p><p> 9/43</p><p>Caiet de exerci!ii Exercises for students</p><p>9</p><p>2.
