篇一：how to avoid misunderstanding
how to avoid misunderstanding.
There is no denying that misunderstanding does lead to much unnecessary trouble in our daily communication. So vital is it that we should acquire how to avoid misunderstanding.
First of all, it is universally acknowledged that some misunderstanding attribute to similar-sounding words. To prevent this kind of misunderstanding, what we should do is to improve our pronunciation and listening. On the one hand, some misunderstanding can be avoided effectively, if our pronunciation is loud and clear. On the other hand, listening can never be taken lightly by us.
Apart from similar-sounding word, we can blame some misunderstanding on the vague wording. In addition, as far as I am concerned, the vague wording is prone to misunderstanding in some occasion. Then, when we encounter this kind of misunderstanding, we should select the connotation of the word to comprehend the sentence. Meanwhile, what we say should be precise. Only in this way can we prevent this kind of misunderstanding.
Last but not the least, there is another problem which is worth paying attention to. Rhetoric, such as metaphors and exaggeration are liable to give rise to misunderstanding. When it comes to this kind of misunderstanding, we should not comprehend the sentence literally. What's more, it is essential that we should rethink what we have heard.
Otherwise, we would easily misinterpret others.
It is no wonder that we attach much significance to communication. In terms of communication, we should acquire how to avoid misunderstanding. So only by doing what is mentioned above is it feasible for us to avoid misunderstanding.
