CARD 21
SPEAKING
Give some information about “Verbal and Non-Verbal communication”
When we think about forms of communication, speech may be the first example that enters our mind. However, we often overlook the importance of non-verbal communication. Studies have shown that non-verbal cues like body language can be just as, if not more, important than what we say. For example, understanding non-verbal communication can help us navigate conversations with people experiencing hearing loss. 
Verbal communication is using speech or spoken word to exchange information, emotions, and thoughts. Conversely, non-verbal communication is conveying and exchanging messages without the use of spoken words.
When we interact with another person, we are constantly giving and receiving non-verbal cues. The kinds of verbal and non-verbal signals we give or receive present themselves in many forms.
