communication

What is communication??

To me, communication = the sending and receiving messages, is more than just words. It involves both listening and speaking. Moreover, it can involve words, gestures, facial expressions, and any other ways we express meaning.

Communication can divided into verbal and non-verbal communication....

Verbal communication

º One way for people to communicate face-to-face. Some of the key components of verbal communication are sound, words, speaking, and language.

Nonverbal communication

º Nonverbal communication involves gestures, facial expressions, body movement and positions or so called body language.

Good communication is important. Do you agree?

Based on my opinion, I seriously think that good communication is really really important in our life.. learning to communicate effectively is vital in forming healthy personal relationship as well... Sending mixed messages can cause relationship problems.. Mixed messages occur when the word a person uses do not match his or her body language and expression. Let's say for example, someone may smile while saying "I'm angry." It is not clear if it's body language or the words that accurately express the emotion. Therefore, we need to learn and practice good communication skills to enable us to send accurate messages.
