•  Receiver: A receiver can be any person, group or an organisation who interprets the message conveyed by a sender.
                      The receiver has to extract the meaning from the text, signs or symbols sent by the sender and find out its actual
                      meaning.
                    •  Feedback: It is the receiver's acknowledgement and response to the message for ensuring that they understood each
                      other correctly.

                  2.   Discuss the factors that affect perspectives in communication.
                Ans.  Some of the factors that affect the perspectives in our communication are:
                    •  Language: It is a very important factor that affects communication. Sometimes we are not familiar with the language
                      we wish to communicate. Using wrong words at wrong places may alter the meaning of the message and thus do not
                      solve the purpose of effective communication.
                    •  Visual Perception: It is the ability of the brain to interpret the message received through our eyes. For example,
                      solving the jigsaw puzzle based on the visual information processed by our brain.
                    •  Past Experience: Our past experience influences our communication both at the sender and at the receiver end. For
                      example, if a student scores bad grades in one test, he may lose his confidence and do not perform well in his next test.
                    •  Prejudice: It is a preconceived idea which can be favourable or unfavourable towards a person or a thing.
                    •  Feelings: A sender or a receiver's feelings are very important for effective communication. If a sender is feeling low,
                      then, the person will not be able to deliver the message appropriately. In case a receiver is feeling out of the place,
                      he will not be able to perceive a meaningful message.
                    •  Environment: If the surrounding area of the communication is imbalanced, then, the impact of the communication
                      will not be much. Fear, anxiety, aggression, etc. strongly affects the communication skills.
                    •  Culture: Different cultures interpret common signs, symbols and words with different meanings thus altering the
                      overall meaning of effective communication.
                  3.   Discuss effective ways of communication.
                Ans.  In order to ensure the communication is effective and engaging, we need to have a clear vision of 7 C's as discussed
                    below:
                    •  Clear: The content of the message you wish to communicate should be straight  and  clear  so that  it is easy to
                      understand and interpret correctly.
                    •  Concise: The message should be short and precise. Instead of using long sentences or paragraphs we should focus
                      on short sentences to convey our message.
                    •  Concrete: The content is clear in words with the direct focus on the message.
                    •  Correct: Use of correct words, sentences, grammar of whichever language you follow to communicate.
                    •  Coherent: The content of the message should stick to the topic and should flow in a sequence that makes sense.
                    •  Complete: The message should be complete with all the required information for a necessary action.
                    •  Courteous: Messages should be ethically and politely conveyed, with no hidden insult and aggravated tone.
                  4.   What is a paragraph? Write the rules for writing a paragraph?
                Ans.  A paragraph is made up of multiple sentences with a common theme. It begins with an introduction of a theme,
                    followed by sentences describing the theme and ends with a statement supporting the common idea. For example,
                    I love to travel. In the last two years, I have visited many places in India and abroad. I feel that travelling rejuvenates your
                    mind and soul. It also gives us a clear picture of different cultures and people all across the world.
                    Following are the rules for writing a paragraph:
                    •  It begins on a new line.
                    •  The first line has an indentation.
                    •  It focuses on the main theme.
                  5.   Explain the different types of sentences.
                Ans.  There are four types of sentences as explained below:
                    a.   Declarative/assertive sentence: A sentence which gives information and marks a bold statement. It may state a
                       fact. Most of the sentences of English language are assertive sentences.
                      For example, God is great.
                    b.   Imperative sentence: A sentence that makes a request or gives an order, an advice or a command.
                      For example, Don't use a pen to draw diagrams.
