Recommended: 1.2 -Describe factors to consider for effective communication

For the first part of this assignment I was required to report on how I saw myself as a communicator. In this second half, I have interviewed my mom, boyfriend and a new friend I made last semester to see how I communicate with others. Listening My Mom claimed I have selective hearing. She said that she can tell when I’m listening to her because I contribute to the conversation.
