Exam Tips and Module 1 Communication Skills - 1- Important NOTES for Exams of January 2023

 Communication Skills as a subject is very different from what you had in IFS as English. We do not have any Grammar as you can see in the syllabus of CS  - I. We do not have grammar, meaning the questions will be more of an explanation type. 

YOU WILL NEED TO WRITE YOUR ANSWERS IN DETAIL!

I am sharing some tips for better vocabulary and writing outcomes:

  1. Read the Oxford 3000 Vocabulary at least 05 times before the exam.
  2. Recall the explanations done during the lessons.
  3. Read the Topics from the Syllabus again and again so that you can think of examples and personal observations to write.
  4. See the slides, documents and links shared in the class Telegram group.
  5. This is a subject which has a lot of content on the web. You can read from anywhere and write relevant answers in exams, in your own language.
  6. DO NOT WRITE JUST A FEW SENTENCES AND LEAVE THE QUESTIONS > THIS IS A SUBJECT FOR WRITING AND QUESTIONS ARE FOR MARKS. Before you write, see how many marks are there for the question.
  7. Avoid taking any wrong means to pass the examination. Best is to Prepare and Perform well!
  8. The notes shared are suggestive, extra reading and study are required.

Syllabus:
Module 1: Concept of Communication

  1. Definition of Communication
  2. Process of Communication
  3. Barriers to Communication: Physical, Language and Semantic, Socio-Psychological, Organizational
  4. Gateway to Effective Communication
  5. Types: Formal, Informal (Grapevine)
  6. Flow of Communication: Vertical, Diagonal, Horizontal
  7. Social Communication: Small Talk & Building Rapport



Question Types to Prepare:
DO NOT FORGET THAT THE QUESTION WILL BE OF 4 MARKS OR MORE THAN 4. So we need to write a good explanation:
  1. What is the importance of communication in life?
  2. Define Communication and list some of the features/characteristics of communication?
  3. Explain the Communication Process with a diagram.
  4. What are the two types of Communication? 
  5. What is Non-Verbal Communication? Suggest the role of non-verbal communication in our life.
  6. How do language and cultural barriers affect our life? Give examples from real life to support your answer.
  7. How can we make our communication effective?
  8. What do you mean by Small Talk? How and when do we do small talk?
  9. Rapport is called understanding and it is called the most important thing in professional relationships. What is your view on this? Write a short note to explain the statement.

Reading Comprehension Practice - 2

Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the questions that follow. I always enjoy the drive into Marley. It is a good straight road, with some pleasant views of the countryside on either side. There are woods and hills, villages and farms and, about halfway, a large lake. And because there is rarely much traffic on the road, I can usually enjoy the view as I drive along. I was rather annoyed the other morning, therefore, when a small green car began to drive very close behind me. I went a little faster, hoping to leave the car behind. But whenever I slowed down, the little car caught up with me. The driver, a middle-aged man, was grinning and waving to me. However, I did not recognize either him or the car. Again, I began to drive a little faster but the car caught up with me whenever I slowed down. “Perhaps I am doing something wrong,” I thought. I checked my lights and my indicator, but they were both in order. And I certainly had not got a puncture. The man was a lun...
