Communication is just as basic as food and drink.
While some people sail ahead using their impeccable communication skills, others struggle to be understood. Here’s how you can improve your communication skills
1. Understand the Nuances of Communication
Communication has long transcended verbalexchanges to become an effective way of connecting with people. Communication leaves ample scopefor misinterpretation, leaving greater chunks of the intended meaning lost in translation. Understanding such subtlenuances brings about greater awareness in self-improvement.
2. Say what’s On Your Mind
When it comes to conveying the desired message, most people shy away from speaking their mind mostly because they are bogged down by social expectations. They keep personal opinions withdrawn from the ensuing conversation. The prime purpose of being able to communicate effectively is to be able to express your personal opinions in the given matter
3. Retain Eye Contact
Every conversationalist believes that the perfect way to engage audiences is to maintain eye contact with them. Looking at people in the eye tends to draw their wavering attentions to the conversation at hand. If you want to improve your communication skills remember to engage your audiences by directly looking at them. Eye contact ties the speaker to the masses with an invisible tether and forces them to pay attention. Without eye contact verbal communication is rendered completely futile
4. Mind Your Body Language
The body does not need a verbal language to express itself. It can communicate via mannerisms, expressions and physical conduct. When it comes to effective communication skills, excellent verbal content is coupled with sound physical expression to render an engaging effect on the audiences. Animated gestures, lively expressions and physical mannerisms are excellent ways of conveying a given idea. A deadpan expression only conveys a lacklustre attitude and boredom, whereas an animated front is more engaging to witness. If you want to improve your communication skills, you should start observing others while they speak. Talk to yourself and check your body language in the mirror to ascertainyour flaws and improve upon them.
5. Be A Good Listener
Communication is hardly a one-way process. Listening is as important as speaking. In fact, most communication experts believe that an ideal communicator tends to listen more than speak. While it is heartening to be able to alleviate interpersonal troubles by talking it out, sometimes listening alone does the trick. Not only does it make the communicating experience richer but also makes you more sympathetic(有同情心的) to the other person
6. Clear Enunciation
Some people tend to draw their syllabl，out making their speech complete incomprehensible to the listener. While the idea of communication is extremely important, one shouldn’t treat the medium of communication lightly Crisp enunciation adds to effective delivery 。Not only do these require a thorough understanding of the spoken word, but also require much work on improving speech defects.
7. Crisp Pronunciation
When it comes to addressing an audience, a communicator must have an impeccable
pronunciation to have the desired effect. Very often, bad pronunciation has made laughing stocks out of the most able speakers. The method by which the medium carries the message tends to shape the overall meaning accordingly .If your pronunciation needs improvement, don’t be shy asking for help. One should correct their pronunciation in order to maintain their effectiveness as good communicators
8. Enhance Your Vocabulary
Thorough knowledge of the medium involves equipping your vocabulary with new words. Many-a-times people have ended up using high-sounding words inappropriatelyonly to face public embarrassment. Building a fortress without a strong foundation will only result in eventual failure. Learning new words is an invaluable addition to your communication skills. Not only does it increase your verbal prowess, it also helps you communicate better. Coherent language is an assured winner in registering the intended meaning and engaging audiences effectively.
9. Follow Other Efficient Communicators
Human beings are excellent emulators(竞争者) We live our lives emulating others and learn new things in the process. When it comes to picking up ideas for improving one’s communication skills, the best approach is to learn from others. It is only by observing others can you hope to pick up some helpful pointers for yourself. Observing other speakers will help inculcate their good points into your repertoire(演奏节目) .Seek the company of good communicators and observe them closely. Emulate their speaking styles and mannerisms. With time, not only will you be able to communicate like them, but you will be able to develop your own distinctive style
10. Study from Self-Help Books
Self-help books are excellent guides to improving any given skill. Effective communicators enclose their transforming experiences in such books to help less fortunate people gain benefits of better speech. With a host of titles to choose from, one can resort to emulating tips mentioned in these books to help make their communication skills better. The step-by-step instructions given in these books lend an extensive insight into the idea of communication to help improve them in no time
Classmate conflicts among senior middle school students are often heard on campus over recent years. These conflicts make the excitement of campus life grow grey and have bad effects on both their living and learning.
Classmate conflicts often rise from daily tiny things such as space where to store books or notes. When personalities don’t mix, the specifics can tear classmates apart and sometimes even lead to serious conflicts. Besides, the fact that classmates hold different attitudes towards certain issues is another factor causing these conflicts.
Classmate conflicts are harmful and need to be settled. Though many people think that school discipline can soften the conflicts, I believe learning to be tolerant with each other can play a more constructive role because it teaches students flexibility and the art of compromise. Meanwhile, communication contributes to the solution to this problem since many of these conflicts result from misunderstanding.
Recently ,many teenagers like to spend more time in playing mobile phones,sleeping ,hanging out with their friends or staying their room instead of talking to their parents .
Why does it occur ? I think it is for lake of communication .Teenagers seek from their friends ,and others in time of difficults and problems instead of from their parents or families .One of the main factors affecting the communication between parents and children is age difference .
For one thing ,we have this so-called communication gap.Our parents often forget about children’s wants and need before the decide to doing something ,or buy something .If our parents knows these ,potention communication problems may be solved .
For another thing ,communication is two-way.Both parents and children should listen to each other and respect each other .
Human interaction, more than changing each other, but to accept each other, if want to change each other, it is not life, that is war. Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice, it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. Detour straight people are smart, because find a shortcut; the straight road bends are open-minded, because they can see more scenery. The road is not feet, road in the heart.
With the indifferent attitude, good reconcile oneself to one's situation life. -- "Du Lala promotion"
To come sooner or later, want to love though, we who also can't win the race against time. Calm and indifferent in the face of everything, you meet people you like, want to cherish the fate. Whether is it right? You the life of the traveler, or a long-term friend, life is wonderful memories. There are a few real friends are rare in this love, please don't care, cherish the present.
True love, is can let a person touch eternity. The man, ten years, twenty years later, still stay in our hearts, let us look back, surprised feel the heartbeat, as close as yesterday, alarmed by the passage of time, if a short. Maybe today, people have been scattered in the sea, the wind scattered the clouds float past already, unchanged, but such a hard, still in our heart. Sun flower "-- not"
Two people together, begin to always be struck with fright, worry about personal gains and losses, with in-depth understanding, mystery fade, will slowly lose their freshness, passion fade away. At this time, the most important communication, may no longer be very worried about each other, but there is a tacit understanding is produced in sufficient communication and trust, and a run-in very good friends, relax and practical, is a good embodiment of love. Time is spent passion, at the same time, time will accumulate deep.
Pain is inevitable, the wounds of the flowers in full bloom, dotted with our memories of the landscape. Each time the injured, let us consider, searching for the meaning of life; let us mature, always have to give up something, to bid farewell to their original; let us strong, heal the wounds can let us bear more; let us treasure, easy get who don't care, only pain after just understand, once lost is so precious.
The picture is talking about a story about neighborhood. Two ladies living in the opposite apartments say “hello” when they happen to meet each other in the corridor. One of them says, “I moved here 5 years ago, but I never met you before. Could I ask your name please?” The other says,” I have been here for 6 years. How should I call you?”
It seems very ridiculous that people living so near don’t know each other for such a long time. However, this kind of story is performed everywhere. It is the exact reflection of interpersonal relationships in the modern world. In the modern world, most people live in apartments. They close their doors and never go out as soon as they get home from work. If they live alone, they will kill their time by watching TV or reading magazines. They don’t have any connections even with their closest neighbors, who seem no different from people they meet everyday in the street. They become more and more indifferent.
This phenomenon is no good to us, nor to our society. People will feel lonely more and more. The world becomes so indifferent. Interpersonal relationships are not harmonious. It’s time that we took some measures to improve it. People living in the same zone can be organized to have some activities together. We should call on people to be friendly to each other. As a popular song says,” If everybody gives a little love to each other, the world will become the sea of love.”
I sit at the same table has a little face,small eyes,look a little scary,white teeth,but I will see a arrayed,for a stronger player to help her.Who?Have WangShuXian,ChenQiuMing,ChenShenJun.
She is very fierce.Once,she helper ChenShenJun and I had a contradiction,she immediately call her help,and I happened with a "war",see me would not sustain the,yi!They how to run there?It is QinYeQi "attack" them.Because QinYeQi is my helper,and,behold,I was "attack",immediately to "save",and draws people,"play" have they dragged in,be defeated and flee.The results of class and she kicked me two feet.

I fire emit three zhangs,a look,I write to.I really made a once in a while,she fought back and I play,I thought:the right answer,the answer to the teacher don't,really bad!
You may not know her,her name is sheep,because we don't love her,then gave "mutton string".Her name call-the sheep.
With the development of our society, the connection between people becomes inevitable. People need to communicate with others as long as they are in the world. As a result, the interpersonal relationship becomes more and more important.
First of all, a good interpersonal relation promote people become successful. Through the human history, we can summarize that no one can do everything well and become successful alone. Most of the great men have a good relationship among people. For many peole, interpersonal relationship and their ability are equal important to their success. Keeping a good relationship with others, peole can easily get assistance from others when facing difficulties. In other words,excellent interpersonal communication skills can help remove obstacles on the way to success. Secondly,a good interpersonal relation can help people live a happy life. Living in a harmonious environment need people keep a good relationship with the people around. The friendly people will form a happy atmosphere. That will make people work efficient and keep a good mood in the daily life. It is certain that people will receive happiness in the end.
To sum up, as interpersonal relationship is so essential to people’s success and happiness, I advocate people get along well with with others. The first thing is smile more everyday.
On Students’ Interpersonal Relationship
Positive interpersonal relationships are vital for optimal human growth and development. However, in recent years, educators have expressed their concern about the ability of interpersonal relationship among students in institutions of higher education. According to a survey conducted by Hebei University, many college-age students regard interpersonal relationship as the biggest headache.
Increasing diversity and rapid changes in our society make interacting with others more and more complex and difficult. With limited life experiences and social skills, college students face more challenges in dealing with interpersonal relationship. This is especially true for students coming from rural areas. Because of the lack of social skills, they are often rejected by others — and rejection gives them even fewer chances to learn how to interact with others.
In my opinion, now that interpersonal relationship is important to students’ development, colleges should offer courses about comprehensive interpersonal relationships. The course should address the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors involved in participating in positive relationships in the family and with individuals at school, in the community and in the workplace.
Every relationship is a sacred dance. There are moments when partners are so aligned that they move as one. At other times, they struggle over who is leading and step on each other’s toes. Peace and success in life require us to be masters of relationships.
Several essential principles support healthy relationships. Integrate these basic tenets into your view of yourself and the people in your life, and you will experience a renewed sense of freedom and optimism in your relationships.
1. We are responsible for our own emotional life.
If we are to experience comfortable, nourishing relationships, we have to relinquish the idea that someone else can make us feel a certain way. If we hold another person responsible when we are upset, we surrender our power, which makes us less capable of creating the outcome we seek. If there is something that is lacking in one of your core relationships, cast off the role of victim and commit to creating the love you deserve.
2. Healthy relationships are based upon a deep rooted conviction in equality.
Ego-rooted relationships reinforce insecurities. When one person criticizes, demeans, or asserts authority over another, it may temporarily improve the self-esteem of one by lowering another’s, but this assumption of power is always vulnerable. Relationships based upon mutual respect liberate energy that becomes available for creativity.
This principle is of particular importance when the relationship is between an adult and a child. It is essential for the parent to recognize the child’s equality on the level of the soul. If this intention is present throughout children’s upbringing, they will develop a sense of dignity and respect that will serve them throughout their lives.
3. Conscious communication builds nurturing relationships.
Determine what you need and ask for it. Teach the people in your family to identify their needs and express themselves in ways that increase the likelihood that their needs will be met.
Show your children how to get needs met without resorting to emotional escalation. Your behavior provides the most compelling lesson.
4. Give what you seek.
Human beings have four basic needs in a relationship: attention, affection, appreciation, and acceptance. We give attention by making eye contact. We express affection by connecting physically with sensitivity and permission. We demonstrate appreciation by telling and showing people that they add value to our lives. We provide acceptance by cultivating an internal conversation of recognizing ourselves in the other and the other in ourselves.
Be generous with the people in your life and you will spontaneously see these expressions returning to you in kind. If you have children, shower them with attention, affection, appreciation, and acceptance and watch them flourish.
5. Remember that life is short.
Enjoy what you have. Don’t waste time indulging in petty grievances. We sometimes avoid healing our relationships, because we anticipate there will be plenty of time in the future. Do what you can from your side to create peace now. Free your heart from grievances and regrets now. Do not allow your present to be trapped in the past.
The Impact of Internet on Interpersonal Communication
When I first set my eyes on a father and his daughter, I heard the father ask about his daughter's school life. To my surprise, the girl told his father to read her blog so that he can get what he wants.
Now, the Internet has been playing an increasingly important role in our day-to-day life. It has influenced us a lot, especially on our interpersonal communication.
For one thing, the Internet makes the interpersonal communication more convenient. We can contact with each other no matter when and where. The Internet makes full use of time and space. What’s more, we can also share our daily life and knowledge through QQ, MSN, and blog with others. For another thing, the Internet speeds up our interpersonal communication. We can save time to do our work. However, the Internet also brings about many problems, such as safety problems, cheating and so on. Many people spend too much time on the Internet, and they don't have time to interact with person in real life, which result in the absence of ability in communication in reality.
It has both advantages and disadvantages to interact through the Internet. We can get to the problem in our work and study. Last but not lest, we have to talk with people and develop our ability to communicate in reality.

According to a survey， more than two thirds of people in China agree that， the public moral level is lower than before. This figure， although hard to accept， has indicated the fact that the nation’s overall morality is declining. If you pay some attention， you could easily point out some improper behaviors happening around: young men refusing to give seats to the old on buses; shoppers jamming into queue instead of waiting in line; crude riders neglecting red lights， etc. So what the hell is going on?
As analysts have figured out， this trend of degradation mainly originated from faulty education. For decades， Chinese schools simply infuse bookish knowledge to their students， whilst moral cultivation becomes a kind of formalism; on the other hand， children are naturally influenced by their family and other adults in the society， most of whom are too sophisticated to be considered as eligible moral models.
Facing such disappointing condition， you may ask: how can things become better? As far as I am concerned， we must following these three steps. First of all: self-shaping. We should manage ourselves well， and try to shape our own morality as perfect as possible. The second step: family-shaping， which is to behave as the model for your children and improve their moral status through strict discipline. The third: organization-shaping. If you are leading people， such as being a manager or national president， you could reinforce your whole organization’s moral situation with policy and your own action. Even if you’re no leader， you’ll have a positive impact on the society if only you manage yourself well and try to influence others as much as possible.

Being polite is a good tradition in our country.Nobody likes a person who is impolite.It 's important for us to be polite.We should be a polite student.
As a polite student,we shouldn't talk at class.If we have questions,we should put up our hands.We also shouldn’t speak loudly during the break.And I think it’s impolite to be late for class.When someone is in trouble ,we shouldn’t laugh at them.We should often say "please","thank you".
If everyone is polite to others,the world will be more and more beautiful.
Communication between people is of utmost importance.The importance cannot be stressed too much.
It is said in the Bible that once upon a time,humans communicated with each other in one language.So they attempted to build the Babel Tower to communicate with God,only to find such dream was a castle in the air.In the aftermath,humans were trapped into troubles due to the misunderstandings between them.The jealous God plunged us into such bitterness.Even now,people with different races and religions are dragged into endless wars.People are crying and dying!Such consequences are rooted deeply in the lack of communication.Therefore,lack of communication will lead to perish of human beings.
On the contrary,mutual understanding can be well-established between people if we communicate with each other.That is,the rapport between two countries will be strengthened and the misunderstanding will be reduced if there is a dialogue channel.Likewise,friends can become closer if they argue with each other.No one likes to but it is necessary to be healthy.Arguments between people are a way of communication,by which we can find a solution to the conflictions between us.Consequently,we promote the mutual understanding.
To conclude,through communication,mutual understanding can be promoted and fostered between people with difference races,religions,sex and ideologies.One way is to argue (not totally means quarrels) during the communication to clarify the different views.Lack of communication will surely lead to perish of mankind.
As middle school students, we have to learn how to properly behave. The codes of conduct for us are as follows.
Firstly, being polite and friendly to other people, both the teachers and the fellow students. secondly, all of us students are responsible for the maintaining of a beautiful campus environment, so that we have an appealing place to stay at and study in. thirdly, each of us are supposed to pass attend the classes on time and finish the assignments in a timely way.
And finally, we should spare no efforts to glorify the excellent virtues of Chinese people.
