豆知识 2009-09-06&09-12 Dos & Don'ts of Communication

 Have you noticed that many people don’t really know how to communicate when they’re talking to you? Have you noted¹ the difference between when you see a person that really knows what they’re saying? 

 

Hi, I’m Hazely Lopez from Hazely Academy of Refinement² and Modeling. And I’m here to talk to you about the dos and don’ts of communication. 

 

Basically we are going to start with six basic steps.

 

Um, first of all, you have to think about what you’re going to say, exactly that. You’re going to be using complete sentences. Using complete sentences definitely delivers what you’re trying to say. Of course, no slang. That is never appropriate when you’re talking to somebody and trying to communicate a thought. Also it’s very important to, to stay clear, speak slowly and articulate what you’re saying. Breathe between one sentence and the other. If you go too fast, the person on the other end may not really be perceiving what you’re trying to say. Also, keep your manners. You always want to make sure that you’re talking with the correct things like, for example, please, thank you and all those articulating things. Also your body language, it is so important to project what you’re saying. When you talk like this and you stay without just not moving, it’s a little bit awkward. You may use your hands that expresses how you feel, expresses your emotions.
