English Homework-communication

Q: Why is communication important?

A: It is important as we need it in order to do things together and to understand each other's feelings or thoughts.

Q: What is/are your favourite forms of communication? Why?

A: My favourite forms of communications are SMS, as it allows me to talk to my friend without making any sound, MSN, as i can video call or type quickly, and talking as i can express my feelings without any device.

Q: How do you decide which form of communication to use in a situation?

A:If we are in a place where noise is not welcomed, SMS would be better, but talking in classrooms are just fine as handphones are not allowed there.

Q: What difficulties do you face in communicating with others?

A: Sometimes, when i speak english to foreigners, they do not understand me, and i get confused with what they are saying, like when i was in hong kong, i could not get proper and clear directions. Or when i speak a different language to my friends of other races as they do not understand me.:P

Wishes on a wall

The useful features of the wall wishers are:
1) Allows us to share ideas
2) Is a good way to communicate with classmates and teachers after school hours
3) Is a good platform for project discussions
The limitations of the wall wisher are the limited amount of characters allowed in a post and the limited size  of the post.
The wall wisher can be used as a platform for communication and projects even after school hours between  the teachers and pupils.

Icons of familiar applications

These are the icons of familiar applications:

My favourite application is the windows live messenger, as it allows me to keep in touch with all my friends and communicate with them as if we are talking face to face. It also allows us to share images and files through the computer, and also, there is a webcam communication icon in a chat box to see a long lost friend or hear their voices.
