Communication & Making Inferences, Predictions and Assumption

       

                   Last time we discuss about Communication & Making Inferences, Predictions and Assumption. Inference is is the act or process of deriving logical conclution from premises known or assumed to be true. Or Inference is the non-logical, but rational, means, through observation of patterns of facts, to indirectly see new meanings and contexts for understanding. there are two types of inference: inductive inference and deductive inference. The second is prediction is a statement about the way things will happen in the future, often but not always based on experience or knowledge. And the third is assumption is a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn.

Types and methods

             

                       Last meeting sir mabu discuss about communication types and method. Communication is the activity of conveying information through the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech, visuals, signals, writing, or behavior. Communication is divided into three parts 7% is for the word 38% for the style and 55% for the body language. In communicating there are sender and a receiver. The sender is the one who sends or giving a thought to a particular person. Then a receiver is the one who receives a information or a message from a sender. There are two effects in communicating are the formal and informal. Formal is a kind of conversation where you will talk formally in a person. Like when we talk to our boss or to the government officials especially when we talk to our presisent they use formal conversation. And informal is a kind of conversation that you will use in your friends. Like chatting, twitting, mailling.

Facts vs opinions

             Last august 5, 2013 sir mabu discuss about facts and opinion. First we tackled facts, facts are statement can be proven by direct experience, evidence and record. And second is opinion, opinion is are statements that is base on someone feelings and preferences. Opinions has a 5 different types which are hypothesis, assumptive, theory, value and exaggerated statements. Hypothesis is to explain an observation, assumptive is opinion based on prediction, theory is an opinion that is based from believed explanation, value is an opinion that is from someone's belief. And exagerated statement is a kind of opinion that emphasizes a certain statement. 

             Knowing the difference between facts and opinion is important because it makes a person carefull enough by simple conversation or chatting. Sometimes we hurt somebody's feeling simply by chatting because we don't think before we say something. That's why we should be carefull by giving an opinion.

Close and open conversation

             Last time we tackled about "close and open conversation".Close conversation is If you can answer a question with only a "yes or no"or you can answer it either short phrase or single sentence. Second is the open conversation An open question are questions that cannot be answered with a simple yes or no, or with only one or two word. These is the 7 guidelines to make your conversation more interesting 

1. give a little information than what is asked for. 
2. make a related comment. 
3. repeat key words. 
4. react in some creative way or it is also known as rejoinders. 
5. add comments. 
6. add a related questions
7. use question tags.

 For me i rather use a open conversation because Open Conversation seek longer answers. The flow of conversation will not end easily when you use a open conversation. Then the close conversation, i dont recommend this kind of conversation because it will stop the flow of conversation.

              Thanks to the social networks because of them we can easily make a conversation to our friends or to our parents. You can apply close and open conversation when you using social networks. But for me it is more important to apply open conversation in real life. Beacause it improves our speech and we can face foreign people.
