Verbal Communication
                 Verbal communication is the most popular form of communication where
                 the transmission of messages occurs with the usage of words that can be
                 in oral spoken or written form. It includes sounds, words, and speech. It
                 is often used during presentations, video or teleconferences, informal or
                 formal telephone  calls, discussions,  lectures,  public  speaking,  meetings,
                 etc. Verbal Communication can be divided further as:
                 •  Oral  or  Spoken  Communication:  Communication  which  involves
                   speaking. It can be face-to-face conversation or talking on a phone.
                 •  Written Communication: Communication which involves written or typed words. It can be writing letters, notes,
                   email, etc.
                 Thus, language plays a very important role in this form of communication. Speaking with clarity, being short, simple
                 and focussed are important tools that will help in the process of verbal communication.  Verbal communication can be
                 further classified into: interpersonal communication, written communication, small group communication and public
                 communication.
                                                    Interpersonal Communication

                                                    Interpersonal communication is a one-to-one formal or informal conversation
                                                    between two  individuals.  There are less  chances  of  misinterpretation  of
                                                    information in this type of communication. For example:
                                                    •   Conversation between teacher and parent during parent-teacher meeting.
                                                    •   A teacher clearing a doubt of a student on a specific topic during recess
                                                       time.
                                                    •   Two friends working on a class project.
                                                    •  A telephonic conversation between two people.


                 Written Communication

                 In this  type of  communication  words  are written in  the form of  letters,
                 circulars, reports, manuals, SMS, social media chats, school notes, projects
                 etc. Vocabulary and grammar of any language used should be good to have
                 effective communication. It can be between two or more people.
