Subject: Points for better communication
Hi Amy,
It is a good thing that you emailed me. I just read an article about better communication a
few days ago. I have some points which you can use for your essay.
First, you must stop to think before you speak. Think of what you want to say before you
say it. Once you say something, you cannot take it back. The article also said that eye contact is
important. You must look a person in the eye when you talk. This shows that you are an honest
individual. You will also get the persons attention when you look them in the eye.
Another point you can include in your essay is to state your opinions in simple short
sentences. This helps the listener understand your message easily. If you use difficult words or
long sentences, the listener may get confused or lose interest.
I remember another point. You must not talk all the time during conversation. You must also
listen.You need to show interest in listening to what the other person is saying as well. I totally
agree with this.
Amy, I hope these tips are useful and you can add them to the ones you already have. I
have to go now, bye.
Happy writing.

Your friend,
Suzane

Saturday
What a great day ! I went to Putrajaya for the first time today. Im glad Dad decided to take all of
us to Kuala Lumpur this school holidays just so we could visit this new capital. Once our flight touched
down in Kuala Lumpur, we made our way to KL Sentral and checked into a hotel in the city centre. Then
we went to KLCC and the KL Tower. It was amazing! The view from the KL Tower was fantastic. I could
see almost the whole city.
Sunday
Today we took the KLIA transit to Putrajaya. We got to Putrajaya in only 25 minutes. Then we
hired a taxi to take us around. The taxi driver knew the place well, so he took us to see the beautiful
buildings there. He told us that Putrajaya used to be known as Perang Besar.
Putrajaya is beautiful. There are so many parks and botanical gardens and lakes. We took many
photos. We went to see Perdana Putra. The Prime ministers office is in this building. Another beautiful
building is the Putrajaya International Convention Centre. When I saw it, it reminded me of something. I
said to Dad, It looks like a cowboy hat. Our guide said that was exactly what the people there called it.
In the evening, we went for a lake tour and then had dinner at the nearby Alamanda shopping
centre. What a long day! Tomorrow morning, we will head south to another historical city to continue
our holiday. I cant wait to see this city which Parameswara discovered centuries ago.
