Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

Good communication is the key to our interactions with other people. When we think of how to communicate, we often focus on spoken or written language. However, when it comes to language, it’s not just what you say, but how you say it. For example, when you speak you, by definition, must get your point across in linear fashion, meaning that the first words you utter in a sentence will guide the listener tounderstandingwhat will follow. Saying “I’m sorry “ at the beginning of a conversation will have a much greater impact, for example, then throwing your apology in at the end of a long explanation. The tone in which you speak lets your listener know whether you’re asking a question or making a statement.  However, if you’re like many people, you may find that you speak your sentences as if they were questions. This can make you sound lessconfidentand can undercut your effectiveness when you’re trying to convince someone to believe that you know what you’re talking about. Yourbody languagemay say even more about you than your verbal language.  Most people fail to look others in the eye, slouch, jiggle their hands and feet when they’re nervous, and reveal what they’re really feeling inside through the tiny “microexpressions” on their faces. Learn to control your body language, and you can control the impression you make on others.
