Almost every activity in life requires communication. When you make a speech at school, (1) your food at a restaurant, or tell a joke, you are communicating. Learning to speak and express your thoughts (2) is the basic requirement of communication. But there is (3) to speak which we often neglected. That's listening. If you don't listen, how do you know what to say when your workmate needs help or your friend is upset? So, try to remember that good communications listen twice (4) as they speak. Maybe that's why God gave us two ears and just one (5).
