In the videos, I was able to understand some issues

regarding what are communication tools, especially


regarding body language. Now, body language could be
defined as a form of non-verbal communication, many
times we think that it only refers to the gestures made
with the hands, but in reality it is much broader, since for
example a look, can demonstrate many things. Body
language is much more universal than verbal language,
because sometimes we may or may not speak another
language, but with just a little attention we can interpret
the body language of many other people. In one of the
videos you can see how sometimes it is a little
complicated for some people not so sociable, to get a
good communication through nonverbal language, that is
why there are tools that speakers and other people who
often speak in public use, these recommendations
facilitate communication. Some of them are: do not make
excessive hand movements, so as not to create a barrier,
always try not to show nervousness, try to create a
relaxed atmosphere in order to maintain control. I believe
that these tools are important in the professional field,
since many times we are faced with situations in which
we must present an investigation and even if the subject
is mastered to perfection, through body language we can
get the attention of the spectators, also in everyday life,
we can maintain a cordial relationship with the rest of the
people with whom we communicate, even with strangers.
Personally, with my close circle I am a very
communicative person, I consider that body language
reinforces every word I say, I have even been able to
communicate with people who speak other languages,
but through signs and gestures we have managed to
maintain a conversation. However, speaking in a more
formal setting is something that causes me some fear, but
it is then when I try to keep calm, try to manage the fear
and thus manage to express myself. With respect to
verbal communication, we must always take into account
the environment we are in, since it is not the same to
expose an investigation as it is to have a casual
conversation with a friend. In the case of formal or
professional conversations, we must take into account,
first of all, the mastery of the subject. Something very
important is our tone of voice and the confidence with
which we express ourselves. I believe that speaking in
front of a mirror is an exercise that can help us lose our
fear of public speaking. Something that I saw in the
videos and that I will try to apply is not to cross my arms,
as that can be interpreted as a barrier between me and
the other people.i FINALLY CONSIDER THAT 2 ESSENTIAL
ELEMENTS FOR COMMUNICATION ARE SELF CONFIDENCE
AND STAYING CALM.

I think, communication is essential for human beings,


most of our activities are possible thanks to verbal and
non-verbal communication.
