Nonverbal communication plays a large role in how messages are conveyed and impressions are formed. It can account for around two-thirds of communication between individuals. Factors like tone of voice, eye contact, gestures, posture and clothing can all influence how one is perceived in the initial moments of meeting someone. It is important to be aware of these nonverbal cues and ensure they match any verbal message being communicated.

3. Nonverbal Communication Improvement Tip 1 Tone of Voice:
Tone of voice is useful to convey emotions from enthusiasm
to disinterest to anger. To practice, notice the tone of voice of
others and try to interpret the emotions attached (e.g. an
animated tone vs. an agitated tone); notice how others
respond.
Nonverbal Communication Improvement Tip 2 Eye
Contact:
Too little (mysterious, evading or under-confident) or too
much (judgmental or intimidating)? Optimal eye contact is
about maintaining direct eye contact with short intervals
to appear trustworthy and relaxed.

Tip 3 Gestures:
Speech-related (e.g. Italian style of "speaking with
hands" ) or speech-independent , gestures can
mean a number of things (e.g. 'ok' means money
in Japan, highly appropriate in USA and zero in
France). Look for clusters of gestures, as a
person's overall demeanor conveys a lot more.
Consider the context, the situation and understand
the level of formality, before interpreting any
signals.

7. There are a lot of benefits of reading... but here are a few:
It expands your vocabulary. It improves your spelling. It
helps you understand different ways of life. It helps you
understand different ideas. It helps you learn to
communicate. It helps us find other people like ourselves. It
can be fun to read new stories and find out what happens. It
expands your imagination. It helps you know what other
people know, so that instead of repeating their mistakes and
experiments, you can expand upon them and go farther as a
community. It helps you drive from one place to another. It
allows you the freedom to find out what other humans have
had to say over the years. It helps you know what drugs are
in which bottles. It helps when you have to mute the TV
because you can read the subtitles and still know what is
happening. It helps you go on the internet and interact.
I could go on... for days, probably. But that is a start.
A few important 'practical' benefits of reading can be:
Reading can make one learn not only languages but
cultures and rituals of civilizations by making an individual
live the past, present or future of places he or she has never
been to.
It is like a manual to handle a device called life where in
there are so many possible situations and options where in
what counts is the experience. Reading makes an individual
benefit out of the worldly experiences of people and help
shape an intellect out of that learning, help take decisions
on occasions where in one has to be in the same shoes as
that of any other individual already been there .
