Five Ways to Improve Communication Skills

Communication is one of the most important skills we can ever learn. It affects everything that we do—whether were communicating at work to achieve results， or communicating with friends， family and partners to build strong relationships. Here are five ways to improve your communication skills.

1

This reflects a real lack of respect. By interrupting someone， what youre basically saying is “I dont care what youre saying—what I have to say is more important”.

Dont finish other peoples sentences.

2 ? ? ? ?Research has shown by doing this you are dis-empowering （剝奪權(quán)利） the other person because you are taking control of the conversation， so bite your tongue！

Paraphrase （改述）.

3 ? ? ? ?All you do is repeat back to someone what he/she has just said， before you comment yourself. Heres an example： “So Barney， what Im hearing is that results are the number one objective for you right now and we need to find some fast solutions for you？”

Listen actively.

4 ? ? ? ?The difference is that active listening means you engage with and respond to the other person based on what he/she has said， while passive listening is simply the act of listening with no response.

5

By looking at the other person in the eyes， you are proving that youre interested in what he/she is saying. This also keeps you focused.

A. Talk actively.

B. Maintain eye contact.

C. Never interrupt people.

D. Focus on active listening instead of passive listening.

E. You dont see them interrupting others or leaving off mid-conversation.

F. Paraphrasing is a great tool to show you have really understood someone.

G. I used to do this a lot thinking I was helpfully finishing peoples sentences for them.

With modern technology， much written communication tends to focus on the keyboard， but handwriting is still a necessary and important skill. ? ? ? ?1 ? ? ? ?Here are some tips for you to improve your handwriting.

Examine your handwriting.

2 ? ? ? ?Look through your writing to decide what makes it difficult to read or what makes it unattractive. If your letters are small， put more effort into writing larger letters. If certain letters trip you up， practice those letters separately and within words.

Write correctly.

Positioning and technique play a role in how your handwriting looks. Hold the pen between your thumb and first two fingers so that it rests against your fingers. Hold it firmly enough to control the tip but not so hard. Lighter pressure on the paper helps you create smooth lines and focus on your letter formation. ? ? ? ?3

4

Letters are formed from several basic strokes （筆畫）. Practice those strokes separately to get your hand used to forming them. Build on those to practice specific letters.

Write for a purpose.

Write in meaningful contexts. Use that same idea by picking up a pen to write lists and notes by hand instead of typing. Keep a journal daily with slow， correct strokes. ? ? ? ?5 ? ? ? ?These true and sincere writing opportunities make the practice meaningful.

A. Build on basics.

B. Practice makes perfect.

C. Focus on improving your correctness instead of speed.

D. Writing at a slower speed also helps you focus on letter formation.

E. Put a handwritten letter in the mail to surprise a friend or a relative.

F. Handwriting requires your brain， eyes and hands to work together to form letters.

G. Before you can improve your handwriting， you need to know where youre falling apart.

When I think of meditation （冥想）， my mind automatically pictures someone sitting by the beach， cross-legged and humming. “Boring，” I used to say， dismissing （摒棄） the ancient art and its promises of inner peace. ? ? ? ?1 ? ? ? ?Or perhaps I should say I dont believe in my ability to find peace of mind by sitting quietly. Id rather sleep， to be honest.

Still， a friend convinced me to give meditation a shot. Unwilling but curious， I tried a session offered by a meditation app， right in the middle of my workday. ? ? ? ?2

For starters， the app didnt ask me to sit cross-legged—thats one thing to be thankful for. It only asked me to sit in my chair in whatever position I found most comfortable. ? ? ? ?3 ? ? ? ?You are with your body every second of every day， but you rarely feel it. ? ? ? ?4 ? ? ? ?The womans comforting voice was directing my attention to each part of my body. It was like all of my senses were suddenly activated and strengthened.

When I opened my eyes after the 10-minute session， I wouldnt go so far as to say that the world seemed brand new， but my body felt more awake， like it had been in hibernation （冬眠） all long. ? ? ? ?5

A. I mean really “feel” it.

B. Then came the magic part.

C. Still， I had no interest at all.

D. I dont have faith in meditation.

F. I cant wait to change my attitude to meditation.

G. I did find “peace” before I went back to my regular working mindset.

Involve other people.

Why？ Well， have you ever noticed that you stick to something longer when you feel that you cannot let another person down？ So， get someone to jog with you， or share recipes with you. Plus， you will inspire them to keep on practicing their hobby. ? ? ? ?2

Put your money where your mouth is.

3 ? ? ? ?So give out a bit of your budget （預(yù)算） to your hobby of choice so that you cannot blame a lack of “materials” for not doing anything.

Since the day of its birth， the United Nations has been the subject of much debate （爭(zhēng)論）. ? ? ? ?1 ? ? ? ?Others think that it is too weak. We can better understand this debate if we learn more about the UN and its history.

The UN was started for two reasons. First， when the idea was born， people all over the world were tired of war. They felt that there must be peaceful answers to the worlds problems. ? ? ? ?2 ? ? ? ?The second reason was that modern science had developed new bombs and airplanes. ? ? ? ?3 ? ? ? ?National borders were beginning to lose their meaning. Science would develop even more dangerous weapons in the future. Only an international organization would be able to control modern science.

Franklin D. Roosevelt， US President at the time， believed that the Allies （同盟國(guó)） should plan for peace before the war ended. On December 1， 1943， Roosevelt， Britains Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin from Soviet Union agreed to start an organization for world peace. ? ? ? ?4 ? ? ? ?During the next year and a half， the idea of such an organization was debated around the world. Then came the big day. On April 11， 1945， the first international meeting of the United Nations took place in San Francisco. The goal of the meeting was to write the UN Charter （憲章）.

2

Dont release fish or pets onto the wild.

4

Chemicals used to kill garden weeds and bugs are a big problem for animals. Maybe if you offered to pull up the weeds instead， you could help people to use fewer poisons.

Speak up！

Every child is a good seed of the future. Children are gifts that God has given to parents to faithfully care for. But whether you are a mom or a dad， it isnt easy to raise children to be adults. ? ? ? ?1

Walk the walk， but dont just talk the talk. ? ? ? ?2 ? ? ? ?Thats to say， they dont like it when you are just telling them to “Do as I say， not as I do”. So， set an example to them.

Listen to your teens. This takes more than just hearing and needs paying close attention and sincerely caring about what they have to say. If teens do not come to their parents for advice or support when they face difficult situations in life， theres usually a reason. ? ? ? ?3

Be quick to listen， slow to speak， and slow to get angry. Often， young people simply need to talk and express their sadness， questions， or concerns. Trying to solve their problems simply adds more trouble to the situation. ? ? ? ?4 ? ? ? ?But before that， show them that you care for them by listening.

Traveling to all corners of the world gets easier and easier. We live in a global village， but this doesnt mean that we all behave in the same way.

How should you behave when you meet someone for the first time？ ? ? ? ?1 ? ? ? ?In Japan， you should bow， and the more respect you want to show， the deeper you should bow. In Thailand， people greet each other by pressing both hands together at the chest. ? ? ? ?2

Many countries have rules about what you should and shouldnt wear. In Muslim countries， you shouldnt expose your body， especially women， who should wear long blouses and skirts. ? ? ? ?3 ? ? ? ?Remember to place them neatly together where you come in.

In Spain， lunch is often the biggest meal of the day， and can last two or three hours. ? ? ? ?4 ? ? ? ?In Mexico， lunch is the time to relax， and many people prefer not to discuss business as they eat. In Britain， its not unusual to have a business meeting over breakfast.

When people succeed， it is because of hard work， but luck has a lot to do with it. ? ? ? ?1 ? ? ? ?Napoleon once said all the hard work and talent in the world cant make up for bad luck. However， hard work can invite good luck.

When it comes to success， luck can mean being in the right place to meet someone. Nothing can replace hard work， but working hard also means youre preparing yourself for opportunity. ? ? ? ?2

How many of the great inventions and discoveries came about through a lucky mistake or a lucky chance？ One of the biggest lucky mistakes in history is Columbus so-called discovery of America. He changed history， but he was really looking for India. ? ? ? ?3 ? ? ? ?It was backed up by years of studying and calculating （計(jì)算）.

Success comes from pure luck and no hard work can be a real problem. ? ? ? ?4 ? ? ? ?Imagine shes been picked from nowhere because of her looks. She is going to feel insecure （無把握的）， because she knows she didnt do anything to earn her stardom （明星身份）. On the other hand， think about an actress whos spent years learning and working. When she finally has good luck and becomes a success， she will deal with stardom better. She knows she earns it.

Thomas Edison was one of the most successful inventors the world has ever seen. ? ? ? ?1

But people found that although Edison was good at inventing new things， he was a poor fisherman. He used to spend an hour almost every day sitting at the side of a river and fish. He always fished all alone by himself. ? ? ? ?2

People asked Edison， “Why are you so crazy about fishing when you are so bad at it？” His answer was， “I really never caught any fish because I have never used any bait （誘餌）.” Another question followed， “Why would you fish without bait？” Edison answered， “Because when you fish without bait， people dont disturb you and neither do the fish. ? ? ? ?3 ? ? ? ?”

Sometimes the worlds best inventor was the worlds worst fisherman. In fact， because Edison was the worlds worst fisherman， he could become the worlds greatest inventor.
