Listening is very important. However, many people
lack the skill. Not only will listening seriously help
you understand and encourage those speaking to you,
but also it can offer you the opportunity to think
about an answer. To make you a good listener, you
can show interest by using some encouraging
gestures such as smiling , nodding, keeping good eye
contact and try to avoid negative body languages like
yawning and sighing.Homework:
