Spoken communication is more powerful than written communication. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Human beings interact in different ways. It is argued that face-to-face interaction is more useful than written interaction. I strongly agree that communication in person is better than to communicate by writing a
letter
or an email
.
Talking to people
personally is more beneficial than sending a text message or an email
. When people
communicate with each other in person they use body language and tone of voice, which help them to interact easily without boundaries. As a result
, People
can see if others are being honest with them through their eyes and body postures. Besides
, talking to people
can strengthen social bonds, human beings are likely to feel the energy from others while
talking in person. For example
, people
who speak on the TED platform have more emotional support from the audience than other speakers on YouTube, they can feel whether people
believe them or not instantly while
they speak.
Furthermore
, Talking to people
face-to-face helps avoid any misunderstanding that could occur if sending an email
or letter
to friends or colleagues. Although
sending a letter
or an email
can explain your ideas faster, sometimes using the wrong phrases might send the incorrect message to your counterpart. In contrast
, spoken communication helps send the right tone and provide all necessary details while
talking. For instance
, my friend sent a letter
to his ex-wife to arrange how they could see their children, but due to
the lack of correct words, they are now facing problems with each other.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that talking to people
and using body language and tone of voice helps to build interpersonal relationships, and also
send the right message to others without being misunderstood.Submitted by nidaa_hamed on
