Features: Imagine you need to convey a message to others quickly—how would you do it? If they are right in front of you, you might just pass it on orally; if they are far away, you might call them, send an email, or text them. We are lucky because we can send messages over long distances instantly—the moment we send it, the other person can receive it immediately. It wasn’t this convenient or fast in the past. You are always communicating, every day—from telling the bus driver where you want to go to completing your homework. You need to communicate, usually because you want something, so. Learning to communicate fluently is essential so that you can get what you want without effort. Sometimes you communicate one-on-one, like when you are talking to someone or writing to them. Sometimes you communicate to multiple people at once, like when you are giving a classroom lecture or singing at a concert. And when you are reading magazines, browsing websites, watching TV, or movies, you are receiving information that others have sent to you.
