    Learning to communicate well is a skill you will use all your life. You need this skill in your personal life to express your feelings to friends and family members. You need to be able to communicate well in school, too.  Your future job success may also depend on your ability to communicate.

    Kinds of Communication

    There are two main kinds of communication. The first kind is verbal communication( 语 言 交 流 ). It includes the use of words to send information. Speaking and writing are both forms of verbal communication.

    Nonverbal communication(非语言交流) includes any means of sending a message that does not use words. Your appearance, body language and the way you react are all forms of nonverbal communication.

    Being an Active Listener

    Communication is a two-way process. Sometimes you are the sender and sometimes you are the receiver. To receive the messages clearly, it helps to be an active listener. Active listening is a communication skill in which the listener shows a clear understanding of what a person is saying. You can do this in several ways.

◆Repeat what you think the speaker is saying.

◆Let the speaker know you are listening by nodding or shaking your head.

◆If the message you receive is not clear, ask questions.

◆Listen before answering.

◆Do not interrupt(打断). Allow the speaker to finish what he or she has to say.

    There was a little boy with a bad temper(脾气). His father gave him some nails(钉子)to drive into the fence(栅栏)when he lost his temper.

    The first day the boy drove 37 nails into the fence. Then it began to become less. He found it was easier to control his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

    Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy should now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to control his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

    The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but you look at the fence. It will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar(伤痕)just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound(伤口)is still there. A verbal(言语)wound is as bad as a physical one. It is important to practise self-control.
