Discussion question 2

Which of the types of speech context do you find easy and difficult to practice? What should you do to improve your skills?

First, let us define the two types of speech context: the Intrapersonal and Interpersonal communication. Intrapersonal communication is when you become both the speaker and receiver as the communication occurs in your brain, it comes in your thoughts and feelings. On the other hand, Interpersonal communication takes place between two or more people, which can range from personal to formal conversations. For me personally, both types of communication are equally difficult and easy for me. However, if I were to really choose between the two, I would say that Intrapersonal is easier for me to practice because I can express myself and thought freely without having the fear of other people judging me. I also think that practicing to communicate with yourself first is crucial in engaging in interpersonal communication so that you know how to deliver your thoughts and expressions clearly without experiencing too much communication breakdown.

In improving my skills to become a better communicator, I think it is important to practice my intrapersonal skills first. Once I practice these skill, I will be able to communicate with others properly with the appropriate responses. I can hone my skills by learning to use a lot more self-talk as an advantage. After mastering my Intrapersonal skills, I can then improve my Interpersonal skills by learning how to listen carefully, using the appropriate tone and body language, and by observing the audience or people you are talking to so that you'll know how to communicate with them clearly.

Once I've come to terms with my mistake, I would then apologize to Mr. Reyes for the mishap I have caused. Then, I would ask him if I can redo, the presentation, and do anything to get the grade, if I were given the chance.
