This document discusses verbal communication and its types. It defines verbal communication as using words to share information through spoken or written means. Oral communication refers to face-to-face or telephone conversations while written communication uses written symbols. Both types have advantages and disadvantages - oral communication allows for immediate feedback but words can be forgotten, while written communication provides a record but lacks personal touch and feedback. Factors like appropriateness, ethics and vividness must be considered for effective verbal communication.
