The second type of communication is the non verbal one. Non verbal refers to body language, the way we talk, our tone of voice, our gestures, posture, face expressions , movements etc. All these things are very important when talking to someone. A smile, a handshake, a face mimic can change entirely the conversation and the way the other person perceives us. The body language counts for 50 % in a conversation so, people should learn how to control their gestures. We can all tell when someone is not feeling well, not enjoying the party or not standing someone, just by looking at his/her face. Well, in order to communicate without showing your emotions , a person should learn to control them.
Besides these two types of communication we also have the formal communication and the informal one. formal is used in the office, at work, when doing business, when meeting new people , at special events etc. Formal means official, precise, strict and straightforward. Informal communication is more relaxed, it doesn`t involve any rule, and is the most commonly used type of communication. It`s very important to make the difference between a situation that requires formal or informal communication. In order to have a pleasant conversation on need to communication skills, but unfortunately not so many people know what this means.
All these Four Types of Communication are the most important ones. There are also other Four Types of Communication , but less known to the public: there is the assertive communication, aggressive, passive and passive-aggressive. The assertive one is the one we use everyday, the aggressive is done through manipulation and intimidation, the passive one is mostly used by people that are shy and don`t want to say something or to comment upon something in order to not start an argument. The last one, passive aggressive communication, is unfortunately used by many people, it involves manipulation.As a conclusion, communication is a domain some people just don`t know about. even if communication comes naturally, we have to learn how to improve our skills. We need communication in everything, especially if we have a job that requires talking to people. Nowadays more and more companies look for communication skills at their new employees rather than past experience. In the end, through communication we socialize, make friends etc. No one can stay alone, even those that can`t speak or can`t see have made a language of their own, communicating through signs.
