(Revised Version)

(There are various strengths in communications and) I feel that my strength in communicating with others would be (the) appropriateness of my language used in different contexts. As the topic of a conversation changes, I will do my best to use the correct terms in the subject of interest. There may be times that I use technical terms to describe the subject due to the knowledge of the (other) party and the need to feel emphatic for those who are learning the subject now. (For example,) in the case where a presentation is to be done, I will use the right terms as there is a need to ensure that everyone is on the same page. 

The challenges I faced in communicating would be the lack of daily used vocabulary, sudden forgetfulness of the word to use and misinterpretation of the message that I am delivering across. (It is precisely due to these challenges that) I feel I am studying everyday as life is about studying. Even when in class or when speaking with others, there are times where (the other) party will use words that I have no prior knowledge of. In such cases, I have learn a new word which can be added to my list of daily used vocabulary.

Communication is hard when the right word does not (surface in) the mind. At times like these, I will try to use a substitute (word that has the closest meaning). Though (this method may not work) all the time, it can (at the very least) bring the idea across. There was a time when I was presenting and the way I bring a point across was interpreted wrongly as I tried to substitute a word for another. Such was a lesson I learn in the process that one must always remember their slides and the terms that he or she will be using.

 (Having said about these challenges, I would like to develop a certain level of communication skill that will enable me to communicate with others more effectively. There are two objectives I would like to have met before I exit from the current English Communication Module.

Firstly, I would like to try noticing other people's non-verbal cues. This is because when I speak to a group of people, I would rarely notice the receiving parties reactions and meanings behind what they have said. Thus resulting in diverting from the topic they are on.

Secondly, I would like to take lesser amount of time to choose my words carefully when I am communicating to the target audience. When I am trying to convey a message across to the other party in a presentation or lecture style, I tend to take a short moment to think of how to construct my sentences so that my message will not be misinterpreted. However, there will be instances where the other party starts asking questions before I could continue on. This is the reason behind why I would like to think faster while having the right words used.)
