Living in this modern society, no matter if we want to, it is inevitable to communicate with other people. Implementing effective communication is one of the most important methods to establish friendly relationships.

If you listen to your parents or your children, then you could know them better and the generation gap would be shallower. If you are a theacher, listening to your studens makes you can understand what they are thinking about so that your relationships could be colser. While studying, listening to other classmates is a good way to promote your friendship and improve your study. As you can see, being a good listener has so many advantages. So how to do it? Here are some suggestions:above all, listen to others with your heart rather than just your ears. And do not stare at anywhere else but others' eyes. Last but not least, you can cut in with a few words when you feel it's needed.
