How can I improve my communication with my family, friends and lecturers?

1.  Think Before You Speak

Take a few moments before you open your mouth to gather your idea to speak. Think about the point you wish to convey to the other person. When you speak thoughtfully and with clarity,,you are more easy to be understood.



Ask Questions

Ask for clarification if you are not uncertain about the meaning of another person's statement. Do not assume that you understand the uncertain of a message. Messages that are not clear can lead to misunderstandings.

·         Double Check

Repeat back your interpretation and words of the other person's comments.  Don't  doubt. Once you're confident that you're both on the same page, you will be more equipped to give an appropriate and meaningful response.

·         Don't Point Fingers

Use "I" statements to help prevent others from feeling attacked. For example, don't say, "You make me upset." It's better to say, "I'm upset."

·         Listen in Earnest

Good listening skills are important to effective communication. Instead of concentrating on what you want to say once the other person stops talking, pay attention to what they are saying without judgment. If you are thinking of your response while the other person is talking, you aren't practice good communication skills.

·         Don't Criticize

Avoid criticizing an complaining another person's viewpoint. Make an effort to understand his point of view. This doesn't mean you have to agree with something you don't believe in. Just be willing to accept an opposing idea.

·         Maintain Your Composure

Keep close tabs on your emotions if a conversation turns heated. If you feel mad, sad or frustrated you may want to take a break from the discussion until you calm down. Return to the discussion when you are able to keep your voice firm and steady.

·         Practice Your Words

If you feel uncomfortable about an upcoming conversation, rehearse what you want to say. For example if you have scheduled to a presentation in you class, practise and rehearse before you come in front on your class and present your task.

·         Use Body Language

Body language can be a very effective form of communication, especially if it's difficult for you to express yourself verbally. Make eye contact while you speak and lean toward the speaker. This type of body language indicates to the other person that you are fully participating in the exchange.
