Why effective communication is important to me
Hello everyone, my name is xudong, a year 2 student majoring in computer engineering.Nice to meet all of you guys.
When I just came to Singapore, I encountered a big culture shock. Since nearly everyone is speaking English, sometimes, it was so frustrated that I could not manage to make myself understood well by others.Even worse, due to the lacking of the communication skills, I to some degree impressed on my Singaporean friends a reserved and passive person, while I am actually not. After that, I realized how significant it is to improve my soft skills.
Also, quite a number of computer engineering modules are project-orientated which involve idea exchanges. In order to survive those modules, there is no denying that I need this module to equip myself with sufficient communication skills and then to be capable of interacting and cooperating with my teammates effectively . Furthermore, as I am going to graduate one day, to get the jobs I want also requires good communication skills which may leads to give a more comprehensive delivery and to leave a better impression during the interviews than those without.
finally, if I can communicate with people well, there will be more chances for me to make friends too and know them well. as a non-native English speaker, to make a new friend is easy by just asking questions about basic information "what's your name" "where are you from?" etc.; however, to know a friend deeper may involve emotional conversation. Suitable word choices and good organization of sentences to express the right feelings that I hold in my mind.
That is why I choose this module to improve my soft skills.
PS: hope we can become friends too.
