“That’s What You See, That’s What You Say”
Directions: Below are pictures that show different communication settings. All you have to do is
to describe what you see in the picture by identifying the nature, process, type and context of the
communication. You may also identify who are the speaker and the receiver in the picture.
I'm able to expand my knowledge thanks to this lesson, particularly regarding the
character, type, process, and context of communication. There have been times when
I have erroneously believed that the only thing our loved ones can communicate with
us about is criticism, but after learning this lesson, I now know that communication
can take many different forms and cover a wide range of important aspects.
I can now tell if a communication is formal or informal, which helps me better
understand the benefits, the objective, and the communication. I learned during our
discussion of this lesson that there are various models of communication and that the
method of communication permeates everything we do. It took me a long time to
realize that in order to ensure that members of the audience or listeners comprehend
what I'm saying and provide feedback, I must convey my message clearly whenever I
speak.
In addition, I came to the conclusion that it might be easier for me to use an action as
a form of signing if I were communicating with someone who spoke the same
language as PWD people. We are able to be specific about who we are and learn
about how other people perceive us when we communicate clearly. My perception of
communication has changed, and as a result, I now know that I must accurately
convey my information.

Dear Adrian,
How are you? It’s been months since we last saw each other and I can’t wait to finally
catch up with you again. I have been well ever since I accepted the job offer that your mom gave
me. I work night shifts and I also work at the convenience store that I renovated during the day. I
got a spacious apartment and I am now able to pay my debts just fine. I was thinking of getting a
dog since I have been dreaming on getting one, and now that I am able to do so. You were right
last year, everything is better now. I love how things had worked out this way.
I heard your mom got sick, and I just want to say you will get through this. Do not worry,
I will visit you guys soon.
Sincerely,
1. You are German working on a multicultural team in Belgium. You begin your work day
at 08:00 and leave each day at 17:00. Several members of your team (from Spain and
France) “wander in” well after 08:00 heading directly for coffee. These team members
regularly arrive late and rarely offer a morning greeting. You do not respect their lack of
punctuality and wonder how you will be able to work with them on the new assignment.
Answers:
- Conflicting Values
- Multi-cultural Communication
- It may result in unfavorable treatment for each of them. If one of them is not friendly,
their unity as a team will not work.
- Be friendly and respect each other.
2. You are working as a purchasing agent for a boat repair company in the Seattle area. You
are Taiwanese. You have been able to negotiate “best price” deals for your employer on
parts from a Taiwan manufacturer. Today your U.S. employer has received some bad
news and he is very angry about a family matter. He begins to yell at you, showing you
no respect.
Answers:
- Geographical distance
- Multicultural Communication
- As long as one person is still enraged, teamwork will fail. Because he is working with a
businessman, the employer ought to be treated with respect.
- For shouting at his coworker, the employer should demand an apology. He has no right
to be enraged at his coworker because it is not his fault. In order to prevent their
collaboration from being ruined, he must apologize.
3. You are a U.S. computer technology specialist working for a Chinese employer. You

international dorm is from England. You like to invite classmates to visit you in your
room. Your roommate does not approve of the visitors and does not seem interested in
forming a friendship. You are wondering how you will last through the year.
Answers:

advice, they might get into a fight.
