How many people do you communicate (0)with in a day? Probably a lot more (1)as you did ten years ago. With a few pieces of equipment, we can “talk” to people in more and more ways, not (2)just face-to-face and on the phone, but also via the Internet. It is very important, therefore,(3) for everyone to try and improve their communication skills. Despite all the technological advances of (4)last years, the art of good conversation is still at the heart of successful communication. (5)So it’s a good idea to remember the four golden rules of good communication. Firstly, be as clear as you can.

Misunderstandings arise if we don’t say exactly (6)what we mean. Secondly, we have to work (7)hard at listening. Pay attention to what the other person is saying. Thirdly, ask (8)other people what they think, don’t only tell them what you think. And finally show respect for people, give them time to say what they want, and (9)be interest in what they say.

If you (10) follow these rules, you will be a good communicator.
