Here are some tips for effective communication: First, listen actively. When someone is talking, focus on what they say instead of thinking about your reply.

Avoid vague sentences like "I don't like it"—try "I prefer this plan because it's more practical." Third, respect differences. Not everyone will agree with you. Instead of arguing, say "I see your point, but I think..." to show you value their ideas. Finally, pay attention to body language. Smile, make eye contact, and keep an open posture. These can make the other person feel comfortable. 26. What is the key to good relationships according to the passage? A. Money B. Communication C. Time D. Gifts 27. What does "listen actively" mean?
