Directions: Make your mind work by expressing your answer to the given questions below:

1. Which do you think is more effective: Verbal Communication or Non-Verbal

Communication? Defend your answer.

Verbal communication is more effective than non-verbal communication. Non-verbal

communication can’t be interpreted accurately, unlike verbal we can express our thoughts or
ideas easily, and the receiver can interpret and understand it clearly and could give a quick and
accurate feedback.

2. Argue: There are more advantages and only a few disadvantages of the computer-
mediated communication.

I think that it has more advantages to those who know on how to use computer. Because they
can access to it easily, unlike those people who don’t have skill in operating computer. So for me
it depends to those who can or who can’t use computer whether it has more advantage or
disadvantage.

3. Agree or Disagree: With the technology we have now, personal or face-to-face

communication among members of the family is no longer as close, common, or as
intimate as it should be

I’m agree with this conclusion , because now a days people are into gadgets .They talk
more using mobile phone calls , chats or text messages that is why personal
communication among other people are being undone , unlike the old days , they talk
mouth to mouth or even wrote for their love ones. They spent most of their time sharing
stories with each other. It is sad, because in this generation or in the next generation it
cannot be experience.

Directions: Answer the following questions:

1. Differentiate
a. hearing and listening
b. attentive and emphatic listening. Give examples for each.

Hearing – it is simply an act of hearing a sound by ear, but you didn’t pay attention to. You
just heard it but didn’t affect you.

Example: When the teacher is teaching but the student is imagining of something.

Listening – It is something that you choose and have to do in order for you to understand a
certain thing. Concentration is needed so that the brain can process the information
you’ve heard.

Example: The teacher is teaching and asked Mark to repeat what he said, and the student
answered correctly.

Attentive listening – means that you are paying full attention to something so that you
could understand the message and give feedback.

Example: You are having a graded recitation and you always answer correctly.

Emphatic listening – we want to express something clearly. We could use a questioning

technique to develop a stronger understanding ability.

Example: Your partner is expressing his love and his loyalty to you; you hug and told him
that you love him too.

2. What is selective listening? Cite specific instances when you resort to this level of listening.
Selective listening - When a person appears to only hear what is important to them.
They only see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear.

Example: Failing to hear the news, while listening to someone who is talking.
