EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION

Q2. In what ways can we enhance our ability to be a good listener and increase the efficiency of active listening?
By the word ‘listen’ we mean to hear with attention and also to respond about the concerned topic or subject.
In common sense , we hear others but we do not give any feedback and in listening we have a patronized process. The business activity is performed under it.
Feeling and thinking are essential parts of listening. Better quality of voice and intended meaning inculcate right spirit of listening. One speaks while other listens with the help of his sensory organs, brain and ears etc.
There are many steps involved in listening:
1.    Paraphrase others as they speak on the contrary if you do not listen means that there is no following then you are not considered obedient.
2.    It is reflective feeling that we should follow meaning in the matter and not emotion. Logical discussions is also important in it. Significant area of reality with facts is included in it.
3.    Avoid long details that someone’s understanding may falter here and there and may lose objectivity.
4.    State your objective to the possible extent means what you have seen actually with your eyes.
5.    Do not include subjectivity in your matter. The show of immaturity is not desirable.
6.    Be clear in your words and display of attitude is not appreciative as well. Labeling someone is for nothing.
7.    No exaggeration but be exact in your statement. What you have to say in real will be liked and responded.
8.    Speaking about your own matter is better and do not involve others in it.
9.    We should select and communicate such matter that others are not only guided abut also encouraged. An air of discouragement leaves bad impression.
Q3. what is the procedure through we can write an impressive document? What is importance of editing the document?
Ans.  If we look this word ‘edit’ into dictionary  we know it means prepare. The writing is published so great type of care is taken. Many steps are to be taken to carry out editing. Proofreading is also after editing. Revision is an essential part of editing.
Editing means that document is without mistakes in grammar, spellings, punctuation and word choice.
Even the size of paper is also considered. Printing and other formalities are another things.
An impressive document is with high and established objective. The writer should not add unnecessary things. If it is   needed to create an effective document extra should be deleted. The  best writers have a greatness of confirming facts time and again. Proofread your paragraph your message to see if anything is missing. Sometime minor mistakes, either there are of mechanical or man-made, reduce the effectiveness of message and undermine the credibility. It is better for once produced matter to read aloud and doing so mistakes are easily located. It is called a second language method.
The following points can easily be landmark of better editing.
i.                 Message accomplishes its purpose.
ii.             Effective organizational plan is chosen.
iii.         Support of the adequate material.
iv.          Is your language according to seven c’s.
v.              Variety in sentence structure.
Q4. what type of note taking do you follow? why do you find this method effective? Support your answer with suitable samples as ifas if from your own notes? 
           Effective note taking from lectures and readings is an essential skill for university studies. Good note taking allows permanent record for revision that you can put together with your own writing and speaking efforts. Good note taking reduces the risk of copying. It also helps you differentiate where your ideas came from and how you reflect about those ideas.
If we give note taking activity another name as captivating will be more suitable. In this activity a student is assigned work to perform. He is put under reading, speaking or writing. He/she is centre of activity. Lectures in class are attended with great care and focus. A student is mentally active and prepared so that he/she could understand and respond what is being conveyed to him. The more  he focuses , the more he gets looks better answer in this regard.
The prior thing is the authentic material and second priority is to exemplify the material with instances. Whatever the work is done in the class the student is awarded marks for encouragement. Moreover, better ideas should be increased in the syllabus.
Four Salient Features
1.    The basis of education should be clear, it is meant that the subject taught must be significantly obvious. Either it is philosophy or mathematics. In this respect, a clear perspective would be taken. Planning and objectivity of the course outline should be decided. Internal structure of outline should be a decisive point which inserts more strength to educational measurement, material, teaching and learning skill.
2.    More stress is laid on course outline and its related issues like material, organization, tendencies and changes. Discipline and organizational ability are always needed to manage the material of textbooks.
3.    Third part consists on solution of problems, search and design.
More stress is laid on learning, measuring process, cooperation and team work. Practical work is more important where they seek more opportunities to enable themselves for better future.
Q5. What are barriers?In what way we can overcome and solve the problem which create communication gap due to these barriers?
It is an underlying ideaنمایاں. It is only man-madeانسان نے بنایا ہو. All concepts have some clashes/problemsحادثات there is no concept without clash. The ratioتناسب of clash is about 90%. Some of the accidents that happenواقع ہونا in the industrial zoneصنعتی حلقہ can not help in the making of concept. Thus,  concept has become undesirableناپسندیدہ word.  
 The difference found in the concept is due to different handling and brain frame and most of problems in communication occur due to different angle of vision. Human education, training and experience have effectاثر on it.
Three things are very important in this regard that point out the factorsپہلو
Sender -------- message ------- Receiver
1.    Conventionsروایت of meaning
2.    Perceptionsادراک of reality
3.    Valuesقدر, attitudesرویہ, opinionsرائے
Sender sends receiver some words in the written form. The tacklingاستعمال of all words must be handledقابو میں رکھا جائے carefully. Transmission تبدیلیshould be fit. No disconnection of meaning should existپائی جائے. There should be a definiteمعین  objective مقصدobviouslyواضح طور پہ .
Whatever is sent to receiver’s mind must be concernedمتعلق ہونا according to readable matter. The receiver should have its understanding. The actual problem is the different set of mind. It should exist that all words and symbolsعلامت are commonly used. Each person’s experience is based upon مبنی ہوknowledge and choice of words.
Miscommunication occurs when we use connotativeذاتی الفاظ  words and not denotative wordsڈکشنری الفاظ. By connotative words we mean personal and reflective meaning and denotative we take real meaning of the word. He does not use intended meaning and also not gets the intended result.
 For  example, a person speaks house and again when he uses he says villa and cottage. He uses denotative and connotative. In business and social writing, we use denotative words very close to meaning. 
Complexity پیچیدگیand change pollute کراب جرناthe perception of reality very much. Our sensory perceptsادراک حسی, touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing are very limited.
Everyone is limited to his brain frame. Moreover, we have created our own abstract worldخیالی. When we are having our own ideas we omit others. But we should need facts. Inferencesنتیجۃ must be the part of instead of hintsاشارے, guessesاندازے, unfair activityغلط سرگرمی and spare workفالتو کام. It spoilsخراب the search.
It is not only opinion but attitude and value are also parts of communication circle. Everyone responds to communicator and not to information at first instance. But it is unfair to do so. It is the idea or information that must be more emphatic. Our best fitted attitude is to describe idea and not person,
 Q6. What are components of communication? How do these components contribute in communication skill?
They are six in number
1.    Sender or Encoder
2.    Context
3.    Message
4.    Medium
5.    Receiver
6.    Feedback
He is a man who sends message to the receiver in a sensible manner. He writes his ideas in words and expression.
It means that your message has plan and design with stimulus. Ou have your own field, country, culture and organization. Through which communication can be possible. Context means how to translate your ideas into message. Sometimes, It becomes hard to give it a proper form. Then t is to see which form would be best to adopt, meeting, telephone or letter.
See the type of message and its contents. General mentality is a considerable in it. A well-knit text/message has positive effect on relationship. Pretension and falsification spoil the whole charm.
It depends on time, space and people. The medium is in written and spoken form.
Oral Medium
Written Medium
Immediate
Short sentences
Conversational
Prompt action
Colloquial language
Imperative, interrogative and exclamatory
Delayed action
Long sentences
Formal
Complex
Detailed Documents


If any hurdle is on the front it is due to faulty language. It is reaction of the desired message that sender provides. It is on sender’s part to see what real response of his correspondence is. But when there is no response or silence it creates negative impact.
