There are many ways to communicate and not all of them need you to
master the words, the 0vocabulary of a
language. Often it is your 1__________, the way you look,
that is the first form of communication. The second could be your
2__________ language. For example, are you sitting up
straight or sitting with your feet up? Remember, even unspoken
communication sends messages to the 3__________. If you
are a friendly person or someone with 4__________ then
communication will always be easier for you. However, even the most
comfortable speaker needs to be careful when speaking. A friend of
mine loves speaking but he is a 5__________ and can never
stay on the topic for very long. Another friend of mine does not
maintain eye 6__________ when speaking and so the person
listening quickly loses interest. If you speak too fast, it can be
very annoying, so also think about the 7_________ of your
speech. Finally, even in the most serious conversation, try to show a
good 8__________ of humour. Everyone likes to laugh.
