How I communicate with my friends

Well, I like talking with my friends and try to do it every day. I think that the best way to communicate with my friends is to meet them face to face. This sort of communication helps me to understand a person’s feelings and gives me a great pleasure. I can see my friend’s emotions through gesture, body language, posture, facial expression and eye contact. 

I have classes at the institute five days a week and I can meet my friends there. We like to discuss interesting news, films and books. Unfortunately, I can’t meet  my former classmates very often, but I talk with them by phone at least twice a week. I usually speak to them on the phone, because for me it’s like a real face to face communication. I can feel voice quality, emotion and speaking style, as well as rhythm, intonation and stress. Some of my friends live and study in other cities and even countries, so it’s too expensive to talk with them by phone. Instead of that I use Skype, e-mail and social networking. Thanks to Skype I can even see my friends, although it’s not so good like real communication.

Of course, I check my e-mails twice a day. It’s one more way of my communication with friends. My friends often mail me and I answer their messages. I use texting from time to time and always use emoticons. I think that emoticons are a very nice way to express your emotions and attitudes to other people. I also use texting when I want to send very important and urgent news to my friends.

To sum it up, I want to add that all these ways of communication are very useful and important in our life. It helps us to stay in touch and have more close relationships.
