ASSIGNMENT 1

1. Think back about the experiences in the communication you have had in the past

week. Select three different situations from those experiences. Write a short analysis

of your experience as a listener in each of the situations. Was your listening level the

most appropriate one in each instance? If not, as you look back on the situation, can

you figure out what went wrong?

*When my dad asks me to spray some water in front of our store so that the dust on the

road will go temporarily.

-This is an easy task but sometimes I didn’t listen to my dad on this task, It’s like

discriminatory listening. Discriminatory listening is when someone is teaching you

didn’t listen to the speaker. My listening level on this is low because I didn’t finish this

task sometimes and I disregard his task severally it is because of my discriminatory

listening.

*When our customer buys a lot of different items in our store.

-This is so difficult I need to listen to the customer on what he/she says. If I’m not paying

attention their face looks mad because I keep asking questions about what they want to

buy that they told to me already. So, I need to listen carefully about the item that they

want to buy. So far, my listening skills are good so I didn’t encounter this scenario.

*When my eldest task me to buy some specific ingredients in the public market.

-This task I find quite difficult because first of all, I don’t know any ingredients back

then. When my eldest is talking to me about the ingredients to buy I need to listen to him

carefully because he wants me to buy the specific one, if I bought the wrong one my

eldest brother sermon me and I will return to the public market again to change the item.

To do this task I always listen to him every detail that he wants me to buy.
2. There’s a saying “You have to hear people out before reaching a final judgment.”

Cite a communication experience when you prejudge a person before listening to

his/her explanation about being late for an important appointment/event. When you

finally listened, what did you find out?

*There was a time that a newcomer came into our school and I judge him by looking like

he is gay. My brother told me that his classmate was in high school days. My Judgement

went right because when he chatted in a group chat with my classmate that he want him

to be his bf but I misjudge it because when I found out she had a girlfriend and that chat

is for a joke only that I take it seriously.

3. Explain “You cannot communicate”

*First, what is communication? There are two types of communication verbal and non-

verbal. Verbal is using written words, spoken words, or both. Non-verbal, communication

does not use words. If we based on the definition we can all communicate by using words

or using sounds or by sign language or even our body communicates too so we can all

communicate. I see a problem with communication and that is a language barrier, this is

the only reason that we cannot understand each other.
