Communication is the bridge between hearts and minds. It's like a fantastic key, opening doors to understanding. Everyone loves a good listener. Working on your listening skills can make you have better communication with others. The advice below may help you.
Focus on the speaker.
Turn off the TV and put away your phone. Never think about other things when someone is talking. Instead, focus only on what he is saying.
Make sure to show you're listening. Nod(点头）as the speaker talks. Smile and laugh in a right way.
Be patient enough.
Do not cut in on the speaker. A few seconds of silence before giving answers may seem important. This lets you make sure the speaker finishes talking. Don't hurry the speaker.
Hold your fire.
When someone just wants to talk, you don't need to tell him or her what to do. Try to understand how the person feels and why he does so.
Even if you don't agree with his or her actions or ideas, try not to say he or she is wrong. Otherwise, your communication may end with an argument. When you "win" the argument, you may lose something far more valuable.
