Common communication methods

Oral communication is to convey and exchange information through oral expression, including face-to-face discussions, conversations, meetings and speeches. Its advantages are: fast information transmission, large amount of information, the receiver can feel the sincere feelings of the sender, and the sender of the information can get immediate feedback and know whether the conveyed information is correctly understood. This is a two-way communication, so that both parties involved in the communication are both senders and receivers. The biggest disadvantage of oral communication is that it is not convenient to prepare records, and the information is easily distorted and difficult to verify after being transmitted by many people.

Its advantages are: clear and accurate, not easy to be distorted during transmission, and can be preserved permanently. The receiver can read it in detail according to his own time and speed for understanding. Its disadvantages are: the information feedback is slow, the receiver may not fully understand the information, and the amount of information transmitted in the same time is not as large as that transmitted by oral communication.
