Talking Points
When we communicate, we use words and body language to share our thoughts and ideas with others.
It's important to listen carefully to others and respond with appropriate words and expressions.
We can extend our ideas by adding more details or examples to make our conversations more interesting.
Using polite words like "please" and "thank you" helps us communicate in a friendly and respectful way.
We can ask questions to show our interest in what others are saying and to learn more about them.
Practicing our communication skills through storytelling, role-playing, show and tell, and conversations helps us become better at expressing ourselves.
