    Communication skills are very important to personal or professional life. Manuscriptedit (Dec.2011) says, “Communicating the intended message clearly and effectively is an important skill, which is often a key factor in deciding the chances of success.” I feel I need to improve that skill, maybe because I’m a leaner of the English language - which isn’t my mother one - and I feel like my vocabulary needs to be improved. College is being a great help though but even before I was organising my time and taking a few hours during the week to read a book, newspapers or magazine.…

    In English I wrote a letter to my parents were I was not good at writing and speaking. Also, I notice that when I read my paragraphs it wouldn't make sense I was a terrible writer my paragraphs wouldn't focus in one thing. I think I have gotten better at writing and speaking because when I read the gratitude letter to my teacher, friends to correct me and correct the mistake that I made in my rough draft. I have improved by reading it to other persons. Also so when I used to read it to my parents I would stutter and get nervous.so that's how I improved in my speaking, writing. Also, the part I need to improve was in my listening because I wouldn't listen when people would correct me. I wouldn't listen to them when they were speaking or giving lessons how to get better in speaking, writing. so that I would improve. I now listen to people that give me lessons on how to write, speak better because they hear me and read my paragraphs. So now I improve in a lot of things because I get lesson from other people. If I wouldn't listen to people that give me advice about my paragraphs I don't know where I'll be right now. So that how I have grown in the different sections of skills for academic…

    Several of my areas of strength are centered around my profession in child protection and children's mental health. I feel my interpersonal communication skills are one of my best personal traits. Effective communication consists of being able to speak clearly and professionally, while being knowledgeable at the same time. Communication has become one of the key parts to my success in both my work life and in my personal life; as communication is key to my marriage and any relationship I build within a team and workplace. I accredit my ability to effectively communication verbally and in written form to being an attentive listener that is open to suggestions and feedback. I believe my written communication is a strong point for me because I am very detail oriented, at the same time I am aware of my need to be more precise and less detailed in some aspects.…

    One skill that I saw an improvement in throughout the course was the ability to evaluate a text. Prior to this class I would read a text and be able to decipher the subject matter or main points, but now at the end of the quarter, I have obtained the ability to not only be able to summarize, but to be able to analyze writing styles and determine reasoning for their usage. I have also seen a large improvement in my research skills. I’ve learned that choosing the best source for my writing does not have to be the source with the most information, but rather the source that best supports my argument and/or analysis. An additional skill that I’ve adapted assists in nearly any assignment you could write, which is the ability to revise with consideration to your audience. I generally would write an assignment without much consideration to who my audience was, but throughout this course I’ve learned that it is difficult to properly portray your stance if you don’t write to whom you are trying to portray it…

    My first example of a communication skill is body language. Body language is the conscious and unconscious use of physical bodily positioning in order to convey attitude and emotion. Open body language would consist of sitting with a straight back with hands/arms being positioned in a manner which doesn’t ‘block’ the person who you are talking to. This is important as it conveys respect and encourages the service user to speak within the conversation. This would then mean that the service user is more…
