Dramatize this situation.

CONCRETELY:

Is there something in the story that you didn't understand?

What are the important elements of the story that make it clearer for the audience?

 

To communicate, you need to pay attention to several elements. I communicate: - to whom? - what? - how? - when? - where?

 

In life, I have to be focused when I am asked to do something and to make sure that I have the ins and outs of the task entrusted to me. I have been given responsibility for an action, I need to understand in its entirety what is expected of me, so it will be easier for me to carry out this action. If I do it without understanding why, then I will forget half the things, and not remember what I was asked to do. To go further, for all the actions in my life it will be like this. It is not necessarily someone who will give me the responsibility for an action, it is myself who will be responsible for a project or actions that I have decided. I will then have to ask myself the questions: Who am I going to talk to, what is it for, how, why, where, when... so that the action is well done and beneficial? 

 

The good advice; Think in order to act effectively!
