The communication is the way of expressing our thoughts. In other words, communication means sending or receiving message from one end to other. We can express our feelings to other by speaking, writing or silent indications. All living beings communicate to each other in different ways. They have different types of voices and they understand meaning of voice of their species. Human has also developed his dialect to communicate with others. We learn different languages to understand meaning of other's dialects.
Spoken communication is more powerful than writen communication. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Some people believe that the power of verbal forms of communication outstrips that of their written counterparts. Personally, I think there is little to disagree with in this observation.
Spoken words carry more weight than written ones for several reasons, the most important of which are related to facial expressions and emotions. These could range from smiling with one’s eyes, which indicates a genuine smile and the genuineness of the message, to only smilling with one’s mouth, which can be perceived as a fake smile, and raising one’s eyebrows, which show disapproval or surprise, while he is enunciating a word. Of course, one might argue that a writer can simply add some extra adverbs to illustrate how a person feels more accurately, but we all too often find ourselves in loss of words when it comes to describing humans’ feelings.
Besides this, I note the fact that one’s way of speaking also affects how his message is perceived. Take, for example, a speech dellivered by a confident speaker who, at the same time, possesses clear pronunciation, a deep voice and a good pace of speech. What he hopes to deliver surely gets through more effectively than handing out to the same audience the transcript of what he says. This can clearly be seen in the way politicians often choose press conferences, and public speeches to best connect and persuade voters over any written forms of communication
In conclusion, the power of written communication seems to pale in comparison with that of spoken words. I take this view on account of the fact that the latter consists of many powerful elements such as facial expressions, emotions and ways of speaking, all of which are hardly ever successfully portrayed in any written texts.

FORMS OF NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION
Non-verbal communication can take many forms. Effectiveness in communication depends on understanding what these forms might be and how their meanings may differ between countries.
Eye contact
In many Asian cultures, avoiding eye contact is seen as a sign of respect. However, those in Latin and North America consider eye contact important for showing equality among individuals. In Ghana, if a young child looks an adult in the eye, it is considered an act of a stubborn child.
Touch
A great number of cultural expressions are shown through touch. In America, for example, using a firm handshake is considered appropriate to greet a stranger or business partner. However, in France, it is common to kiss someone you greet on both cheeks. Touching children on the head is fine in North America. However, in Asia, this is considered inappropriate because the head is an important part of the body. In the Middle East, the left hand is often used to clean the body so using that hand to receive a gift or shake hands is considered very rude.
Facial Expressions
Winking is a facial expression which has different meanings. In Latin America, it is considered a romantic gesture while people in Nigeria wink at their children if they want them to leave the room.
Posture
In America, standing with hands on the hips may suggest power or pride, but in Argentina, it may suggest anger.

Have you ever asked yourself what ways of communication you will be using in the future?
I strongly believe there will be huge changes in the way we communicate.
Presently, we often meet face-to-face, send emails or chat online to work on our group projects.
But it’s possible that in the year 2030, we’ll be having video conferences with 3D images and Hololens Virtual Reality Glasses to interact with these people.
When we want to ask our friends to get some drinks, we often contact them by phone or social media.
However, in 20 years, super-smart phones, which can read your thoughts and automaally transfer them into text or voice messages, will be replacing those methods.
Besides, I guess telepathy will be especially popular then.
And I bet in 40 years, we will be able to understand what our pets are thinking with the help from some smart devices.
That will certainly be very amazing!!!
