How to communicate better
Communication is an important part of our lives. It helps us build good relationships with others. But how can we communicate 1? Here are some useful tips.
First, we should listen 2. When others are talking to us, we should give them our full attention. Don’t 3 them. Let them finish what they want to say. By listening carefully, we can better understand 4 they mean.
Second, use 5 language. Words like “please” and “thank you” can make a big 6. They show our politeness. Also, try to be clear when we speak. Don’t use words that are too 7 for others to understand.
Third, pay attention to our body language. Sometimes, our body can 8 more than our words. For example, a smile can show that we are friendly. Making eye 9 shows that we are interested in what the other person is saying.
Fourth, be 10. If we don’t agree with someone, we should still respect his or her 11. We can say something like “I see your point, but I 12 think differently.”
Finally, 13 others’ feelings. If someone is sad, kind words or a pat on the back can 14 a lot. By being kind and understanding, we can make our communication more 15.

[2026 山东济南期中](After listening to Mr Jason’s advice, Andrew decided to try to improve his relationship with his mother. )
There were some problems between my mother and me. In the past, she always asked me to be good at everything. I felt very tired of that.
But when I started to share my ideas with her, things changed. I realized that her reason for pushing（鞭策）me was that she wanted me to be able to take good care of myself in the future. I also told her that I needed more rest. Finally, we found the best way to solve this problem—to
reduce some of my activities. As our relationship improved, my mother became more like a friend to me. When she was tired after working for a long time, I always told her some interesting things that happened at school to make her happy.
My mother encouraged me a lot whenever I faced problems. Last month, I was seriously ill and couldn’t go to school. My grades dropped a lot. However, my mother didn’t blame（责怪）me but helped me with my studies. To improve my grades, I studied until late at night. My mother always stayed with me in my room. It warmed my heart.
Luckily, my grades improved a lot. After the tests, I used my pocket money to buy a cake for her. The good grades were not only mine but also hers. Now I have realized how important communication is. If we stop arguing and start communicating with others, we will make a difference in our lives.
