Title of the Article: Things You May Do to Overcome Communication Barriers

Good day to one and all. The title of the article describes the topic which we will be talking about today. I hope that at the end of this article, you will be able to learn some things.

If there are barriers when it comes to communication, then there are also ways to succeed in the breakdown in communication. 

The existing situation we are currently experiencing is seemingly or even the worst scenario that occurred in the world as of this day.

With this, innumerable barriers have blocked our plans that even the mode of learning has been widely affected. We are all shivering down but put a gaze at the objects around us. Everyone had found several ways and means to withstand even in this time of pandemic. We have become more resilient. 

Now, let us proceed to our topic about the various ways or strategies on how to overcome communication breakdown.

The first strategy is to Use Appropriate Language.

Some words are meant only for work or for school. When we talk to our family and friends, we can use slang, jargon, or informal terms. But when communicating inside the classroom during class discussion or a business meeting, it is proper to use formal words and phrases. The critical point here is that you should know when, where, and how to use them appropriately.

Nowadays, we usually communicate through social media platforms like Facebook. When sending a message to your teachers, learn to start your letter by writing, "Good morning, sir or Good morning, ma'am," then write your notes and do not forget to say "Thank you or Welcome or Sorry" if it's needed. With this strategy, there is a big chance that communication breakdown will be avoided and overcame.

The second one is Always Think Positive.

"Positive thinking creates positive energy." When you think positively, it welcomes good vibes, and it will also help you have a positive outlook in life.

Sometimes, social media posts, especially on Facebook, are filled with many negative vibes and news containing irrelevant chain messages.

How does it become a strategy? If you are thinking positively, the flow of thoughts and ideas in your mind will flow smoothly.

The third one is Concreteness.

Make sure that facts such as figures and real-life examples and situations back up the message. Do not provide gossip information; instead, be factual.

This thing also implies the use of simple and specific words to express thoughts. In communication, we should always remember that we should communicate to express our opinions, not to impress anybody. In other words, we speak to understand and to be understood.

The fourth is Provide and Receive Feedback 

Feedback is something you got or allowing to know mistakes. It is part of assessing what is right and wrong. Also, feedback is a response from people (let us take, for example, here in read.cash) who have read your article.

Always have an open mind and disregard exceeding a message because anything done in excess is not right. Communication should embrace everything that the recipient needs to hear for him or her to be able to have a reply. 

Learn to answer the simple Wh questions and also employ conciseness. Keep the message short and direct to the point. Assume you need to reduce the information, just like retelling your preferred movie to a fellow concisely.

The last one is Correctness.

Correctness in language, such as correct grammar, strengthens the reliability and effectiveness of the message. Although it is hard to attain perfection, being conscious of mistakes is already one way of enhancing our sentence construction paradox.
