likes to dedicate time to his passion: writing.

explain the reason, besides to say that there is something additional

included and although to indicate a contradiction.

words into your notebook. Can you understand them better now?

Communication is a process between at least two people. When you communicate

you understand what other people want to tell you. You offer your own feelings and

reactions. You are not born with communication skills. You learn communications skills.

We learn communication skills observing other people. We use words and sounds to

communicate. We also use other means such as gestures and facial expressions.Communication is important. It helps us understand each other.
