Rules for speaking and listening

Topic: Rules for Speaking and Listening
What is the purpose of speaking?

There are three main purposes that all speeches fall into:
1. to inform
2. to persuade 
3. to entertain.
Depending on what your goal is,  pick one of these general
purposes and then selecting an appropriate one that
 relates to the intent of what your speech is about.

Whether it be to give information, to help make a decision
or to provide entertainment.

What is the purpose of listening?

The purpose of listening is to gain information that is or will
become the basis for taking a decision on any topic.
A student who attends to his teacher and listens to him
 attentively learns a lot.

He stores this information in his mind and uses it in the
 examination.




As a teacher and student relation we have to listen to and speak
with each other, its how we communicate and understand
each other.

As the teacher I give instructions and as the students you listen
to them and act accordingly.

As the student you will have questions and concerns and as
the teacher I will have to listen to them, understand what is
being said and then respond or act appropriately.

There are rules that must be set for a effective environment of
communication.
Some examples of these rules are:

1. When someone is speaking listen
2. Raise your hand before speaking
3. When the teacher asks you a question listen before responding
4. If you need help, ask for it.
We also have to speak and listen to our parents.
They also have their own rules of communication we must follow.
This creates an environment where both parties feel like
their concerns are being acknowledged and so speaking and
listening is much more effective.
Can you think of other ways we speak and listen to each other?
