I did not realize the seriousness of my communication problem until recently I arrived in Singapore to begin my exchange semester. In a foreign country and without friends, I need to explore all the things by myself. That involves a lot of communication with people, especially with strangers. As a result, expressing myself clearly and precisely becomes extremely important for me. That urges me to sharpen my communication skills. Effective communication may help me to communicate effectively with people and prepare me for the future work or study.
Whenever at a family party, I am the one speak the least. I only respond to others' questions and seldom start a new topic to talk with others. I took for granted that I was not an outgoing person and it was natural for me to talk less. I reflect myself recently and find out that my quietness may be resulted from my poor communication skills. It is high time for me to improve my communication skills.
In the future, either in my further study or in my work, I need to discuss with people and explain my idea to others. If I can communicate effectively, the effectiveness of my work may be highly increased.
Those are almost the reasons why I take ES2007S. Hope I can improve myself in the following study.
