W: Communication is a must in our lives. All people can communicate but few are able to communicate well. If you want to improve your communication skills, you should do the following:

1. Listen well.

Listen carefully so you can understand what others say. Stay focused while listening. Don’t think about what you will say next. The more focused you are, the better you will understand. If you don’t understand, try to repeat what the other person has said. The number one thing you should do to understand well is to listen well. That is the first step to communicate well.

2. Speak well.

First, speak naturally and believe in what you say. Second, be calm and comfortable while speaking. Feel free to express your views politely and smartly, and use suitable words and expressions for the situation. The more effective your speaking is, the more likely it is that you will be understood. As a result, you will be able to communicate better and have better relationships with others.
