Ways to improve your communication skills.

提高沟通技能的方法。

Mind Your Body Language

肢体语言也很重要

The body does not need a verbal language to express itself. It can communicate via mannerisms, expressions and physical conduct. When it comes to effective communication skills, excellent verbal content is coupled with sound physical expression to render an engaging effecton the audiences. Animated gestures, lively expressions and physical mannerisms are excellent ways of conveying a given idea. A deadpan expression only conveys a lacklustre attitude and boredom, whereas an animated front is more engaging to witness. If you want to improve your communication skills, you should start observing others while they speak. Talk to yourself and check your body language in the mirror to a scertain your flaws and improve upon them.

肢体语言的表达本身并不需要口头语言。它可以通过个人的特殊动作习惯、表情和肢体行为来完成沟通。有效的沟通需要口头交流与肢体语言的完美配合，从而在听众身上达到惊人的效果。要传达给定的信息，丰富的姿势、生动的表情加上肢体语言是极好的传达途径。面无表情的表达只会导致听众的厌倦，反之多变的表情会得到很好的效果。想提高自己的交际技巧，你应该多观察别人的说话方式。多和自己对话，对着镜子练习自己的肢体语言，找出自己的缺点并加以改正。
