Having good communication skills is important. They can help you with presentations in class, during job interviews, when handling arguments, and in a variety of other situations.
Make eye contact. Whether you are speaking or listening, looking into the eyes of the person with whom you are conversing can make the interaction more successful. One technique to help with this is to consciously look into one of the listener's eyes and then move to the other eye. Going back and forth between the two makes your eyes appear to sparkle. It is a line across the eye brows and the vertical (垂直的) line comes down the center of the nose. Keep your eyes scanning that zone.
Be aware of what your body is saying. Body language can say so much more than a mouthful of words. An open opinion with arms relaxed at your sides tells anyone around you that you are approachable and open to hearing what they have to say. Often, communication can be stopped before it starts by body language that tells people you don't want to talk.
Not only should one be able to speak effectively, one must listen to the other person's words and engage in communication on what the other person is speaking about. Avoid the impulse to listen only for the end of their sentence so that you can blurt out the ideas or memories in your mind while the other person is speaking.
Slow your speech down. People will perceive you as nervous and unsure of yourself if you talk fast. Practice this and, after a period of time, your speed will begin to lower. However, be careful not to slow down to the point where people begin to finish your sentences just to help you finish.
