Examples: Learning to listen means learning to actually pay attention to––to concentrate on––what other people are saying. Concentrated listening is also called “active listening” or “deep listening.” Deep listening gives greatly increased concentration, enjoyment of music as well as other humans, and––perhaps most importantly––a profound positive shift in the quality of relationships.

Ways to manage the fear of speaking in public We can manage the fear of speaking in public. As long as we are clear about the reasons behind this fear, we can “manage” it. Some of us dare not speak in public because of lack of self-confidence or experience. In that case, we should first believe that we have something worth sharing and then seek and make use of public speaking opportunities, for example, speaking up in class or in small groups, to practice our skills. For others of us, the source of fear comes from external factors, such as the concern that the audience will not be interested in our topic. A simple way to get rid of the anxiety is to get to know as much as possible about our audience and then tailor our talk to engage the audience. 2. Reasons why students should be encouraged to develop effective communication skills Living in an age when competition is becoming increasingly severe, students are generally encouraged to develop effective communication skills. These skills include both the management of body language and facial expressions while students are talking and the pace and emphasis of the speech flow. The reasons why students should be encouraged to develop effective communication skills mainly lie in the following three respects. First of all, as a student, effective communication skills make our thoughts and ideas more easily understood by those around us and our talent would be more likely to been seen by others. Moreover, effective communication skills give us the ability to fulfill tasks more efficiently and solve problems more effectively. Last but not least,knowing the secrets of effectively delivering what we would like to express helps us make more friends. To conclude, developing effective communication skills can not only render us outstanding easily but also lead us to success undoubtedly. With these skills, we will definitely become the one we have been dreaming to be
