The man uses both verbal

and non-verbal cues when
he winked at the lady and
at the same time greeted
her and offered her a drink.

disgust or dislike. Even
without the use of words,
the lady’s gesture is still
understood as a form of
communicating her
disapproval towards man.

again but the effect of what you have said
the second or third or fourth time will not
be the same as the first time you said it

THE COMMUNICATION PROCESS

Communication goes through

a certain process involving
the:

sender, who is the source of

the message,

the message, which is the

shared information,

the receiver, whose function

is to decode the meaning of
what was received and of
course,

the feedback, referring to the

receiver’s reply to the
message.

you have to
remember is that you
have to make sure
you are able to get
your message
across to your
listener the way you
intended it to be
understood.
