Editor's Notes
The right answer is email, this is because a email is formal and can be sent at any time without disrupting someone.
Clear and loud is the right answer. This is because these two ways are the best way to let people understand you a lot better.
Body language, active listening and feedback is the right answer because once you do all of these, all the other answers start to follow up behind this.
The right answer is A. This is because when you communicate using body language, you are trying to show understanding by nodding, etc. Or, you may be trying to explain what you are saying through your hands, e.g, showing someone where an object is by pointing.
The right answer is “understand some people might get offended, so try to use body language in non offensive way”. This is because when using TRYING to use body language in an non offensive way, then people know they meant no offence.
The right answer is “a question with no right or wrong answer”. This is because, an open ended question can be answered with no right or wrong question. The answer is not limited.
The right answer is “why did you decide to move house”. This is because you can give a big variety of different answers and not limited.
The answer is A. This is because a closed question is only answered with a limited answer. In some cases it can only be answered as a “yes or no”.
The answer is A
The right answer is yes. This is because, you should always give feedback to someone or the team to let them know your thoughts and why you think that.
The correct answer id D. This is because this is the most suitable way to resolve the situation which will result in everyone having a good and even enough satisfaction, including you.
The right answer is B. This is because, if you do it in a calm and nice enough tone of voice, they will understand and not feel offended. You can then organise a time of which you feel is suitable if you need to socialise with them. The answer C may sometimes be the right thing to do, however it might result in a lot of time wasting and not being able to finish the work you have been set to do. Ignoring them is one is not right as they may feel offended and then try to make a “big deal out of it”.
The right answer is B. Funny pictures and entertaining pictures will be distractive because, the audience might find it funny and they may not settle down for quite a while. This will result in losing a lot of time just trying to settle down the audience, even after that, people might settle down however they may start getting distractive as they will giggle and talk about the pictures.
The right answer is A. This is because a smile is a face that shows an expression of happiness. When smiling at someone, often they may smile back. Therefore, in a way sometimes a smile can be powerful. Also, all the other emoticons show sadness and confusion.
It is most suitable to put an emoticon in an informal email. Therefore, the right answer is C. You should not put an emoticon or a drawn face on a piece of paper as it might always smudge and not go to plan.
This is false. This is because you can have many different types of communication. Some of the types are, body language, email, sign language, etc.
This is false. This is because, an emoticon is a technological version of a face expressing an emotion.
This is true. If you were to use an emoticon in a formal email it would not be suitable because the receiver of the email would find it inappropriate in the current situations. When writing a formal email, you must try to show that you can be very formal and right for the task, to have the necessary language.
This is false. In an open ended question, you can have many different types of answers and replies. Therefore, you have a wide range of answers.
This is false. Bright colours and funny pictures will make it more likely for someone to get distracted. This is because, the audience might start laughing and find it hard to settle down.
