First audio evidence

Opinion
I think this activities help to much to get integrated to our classmates and get a better communication with each other.

Opinion 2
I think everybody needs to know how to communicate because a simple reason, to get in count to people, you gotta know how to express your ideas or everything it gets you on mind, for that you gotta be aware of your body language and dont lose everybodys attention.

Opinion 1

I think this activities are fundamental at the beginning of every course or semester, with the simple purpose to get integrate with your next six months of classes. This helps when you need people to do a team for any job.

How to know if you are a good communicator 

You are a good communicator if you first are prepared, you can not tell something because the audience is not going to take seriously your speech. After all you have to be aware of your body language, that tells more than thousand words, you can transmite the idea more easily.

If you get, no matter how, the attention of the audience you can do whatever you want with them, it is more easy to transmite the idea, but also have to be aware of losing it.

Finally if you are once of those that get to the point, you are a good communicator.
