    SOLUTIONS OF PAST PAPER

    (i) Define communication.

    Communication is the process of exchanging information, ideas, or feelings between two or more
    people. It involves a sender, a message, and a receiver. The sender encodes the message into a form
    that the receiver can understand, transmits the message through a channel (such as speech, writing, or
    body language), and the receiver decodes the message and interprets its meaning.

    (ii) What is a paragraph?

    A paragraph is a basic unit of writing that consists of a group of sentences that are related to a single
    topic. A paragraph typically contains a topic sentence that states the main idea of the paragraph, and
    supporting sentences that provide details, examples, or explanations to elaborate on the topic sentence.

    (v) What are latest/modern channels of communication

    There are many modern channels of communication, including:

    * Email

    * Social media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn)

    * Instant messaging (e.g., WhatsApp, Skype)

    * Video conferencing

    * Project management tools

    * Collaboration platforms

    (vi) How is listening different from hearing?

    Hearing is the physical ability to detect sound waves. Listening is the active process of paying attention
    to sound, understanding the meaning of what is being said, and responding accordingly. Listening
    involves more than just hearing; it also requires cognitive effort and focus.
    (vii) Give any two purposes of speaking

    There are many purposes of speaking, but two common purposes include:

    * To inform: To convey information to others.

    * To persuade: To try to convince others to believe or do something.

    (viii) Define feedback

    Feedback is information that is communicated back to the sender of a message about how the message
    was received and interpreted. Feedback can be positive or negative, and it can be used to improve
    communication.

    (ix) Why is rehearsal important for making an oral presentation?

    Rehearsal is important for making an oral presentation because it allows you to practice your delivery
    and timing, and to identify and address any areas where you may need improvement. Rehearsing can
    also help you to become more comfortable and confident in front of an audience.

    (x) Memorandum

    A memorandum, also known as a memo, is a formal written communication typically used within an
    organization to convey information or instructions to a specific audience. It's a concise and professional
    way to share important details or updates.
