Answer 1

Title: Effective vs Ineffective Communication

Effective communication relies on conscious, positive behaviours: using body language and appropriate gestures, maintaining eye contact and expressive facial cues, showing emotional involvement, and choosing a proper tone. These elements help the speaker connect with the audience, clarify meaning, hold attention, and convey sincerity, making the message easier to understand and more persuasive.

By contrast, communication becomes ineffective when the speaker shows a lack of interest, speaks on an unknown or poorly prepared topic, fails to keep the audience’s attention, or uses inappropriate vocabulary. Such faults create confusion, boredom, and misunderstanding, and can quickly cause listeners to disengage. To avoid this, speakers should prepare their content, practice clear language and tone, and use body language and eye contact to keep the audience involved.
