Discussion question 2

How can you improve your communication with your classmates, family members, teachers, etc. using verbal and non-verbal communication? 

To you improve your communication with your classmates, family members, teachers, etc. with regards to verbal and non-verbal communication, the best thing to do is to use both of them at the same time. By adding hand gestures, improving your posture, facial expression and body language when you are speaking will drastically improve your communication with other people. If you are the sender, it will make the receiver listen and be attentive since you added extra details to it. If you are the receiver, you will definitely give your attention to the one talking. Using both of them at the same time will surely improve your communication with other people. But take into consideration if non-verbal communication/ verbal communication is needed. Maybe just talking is already enough and you do not need to add anymore movements that aren't necessary. Always weigh the situation and use what fits best
