Discussion question 2

Can you recall an experience in your life where you experienced communication breakdown? What happened and why did the breakdown occur? (answer in not less than 5 sentences).

When I was in Grade 1, there is a guy who rarely talks in our class. He was always silent and kept a poker face. I wanted to be friends with him since no was in our class wants to talk to him and I find it sad. During recess, I went to talk to him and of course, he was shocked and still not talking. After several tries, he finally spoke but it was in English so I didn't understand him. Since I was still in grade 1, I was still not fluent in English so that is when the communication breakdown occur. He has problems with his Tagalog and I was having problems in my English. Eventually, I learned and become fluent in English since I stuck with him the whole year.
