《Everyone Communicates》Reading-N
When I first saw this title, I could not out my attention from it. Yes, mostly we read book very hard, because we cannot understand the meaning of some main-part sentences. Eventhough I said in other Reading-notes, when we cannot understand it well, let's skip it, do not waste time on that. But I TRUE believe there are seldom people do skip that. Mostly we want to get the accurate meaning. So how about when we communicate with each others? Why do we use simple words? Why do we make the coversation simply understand? After I look through this chapter, I got the key which is simple.

He can always make a communication simply.

They must not understand us clearly and immidiatly. However, when we let our partner got our purpose simply, that's quiet useful.
There are three "S" strategies. Keep it SIMPLE, say it SLOWLY, and have a SMILE. Yes! When we can not do the first two "S", only give us your big smile also good!
Simplicity for us is an art. When we say somthing simple, not only we feel confortable, but also the speaker will get more relaxe.
