Face-to-face communication vs. emails or phone calls
In our developed society there are many means for getting in touch
among people, such as e-mail, letters, and telephone calls. In my
opinion however, the best way for talking with people is the
traditional and the oldest method- face-to-face communication. I
consider it the best way for communicating for several reasons.
First of all, there are many things, such as gestures, emotions, body
language that can't be interpreted by email, for example. By face-to-face communication you have the
chance to understand what the other person is thinking at the
moment. Gestures, signals and other kinds of body language are
accounting for more than ninety percent of the whole conversation.
These signs mean a lot, but they can't be interpreted through other
kinds of conversation. Moreover, as you speak with your partner
face to face you can always understand if he is lying to you or if he
is honest. By using other methods of conversation, you can't be sure
of the person's sincerity and emotions. Another reason why I think
the best method of communication is face-to-face communication is
that you can talk to the other person immediately after him, with no
delays. This is very helpful because if you don't understand
anything you can just ask and you aren't likely to misunderstand
something. For example, a few months ago, I talked with my
boyfriend through the Internet and we were kidding. I told him that
I wanted to break up our relationship and he didn't understand that I
was joking. He was very surprised because he didn't get it in the
right way. It took me few days to explain him that I didn't mean it.
If we had talked face to face, he would have understood that I was
joking and there wouldn't be this lack of understanding. In other
words, I consider face-to-face communication the right and most
secure way of communicating because there is no misunderstanding
and you can feel the real emotions in the conversation that you can't
feel in the other ways of communicating.
