1. Explain the 4 types of communication techniques?

• Verbal Communication, using words in conversation. For effective communication, we must speak not too loud but strong and confident enough. Use active listening and try to avoid filler and teen slang.
• Written Communication, to describe our point in terms of writing. It relies on grammar, punctuation, and word choice. For effective communication we must aware of grammar and punctuation, have clarity ( writing in simple language and sticking to concrete also specific information ), have concise ( only include the details that necessary ), aware of tone and active voice.
• Non-verbal Communication, using our body languages such as eye contact, facial expression, gesture, body movement, tone, and space to communicate. For effective communication, we must maintain eye contact, using more of our facial expressions, be aware of tones and sounds, mind posture, and be considerate of personal space.
• Visual Communication, the act of using visuals as an aid during presentations to enhance the context of verbal and/or written communication. For effective communication we must ask others for permission to add some visuals, we also must consider the audiences, add some visuals only if it will increase the value of the presentation, and we must create the vision clear and easy to understand.
• Interpersonal Communication, the process of the entire process of exchanging information, ideas, and feelings between two or more people through verbal and non-verbal methods. For effective communication we must pay attention to the speaker, use our body language to show that we are listening, we also need to clarify the understanding and don’t interrupt or redirect the conversation. Lastly, if we want to give some response, we need to give an honest opinion but polite.
