Oral Communication

1. Why communication is important?

-​Communication is important because it is the foundation of all the
relationships. It is the key to understanding one another. Without
it, the world will be mute and unable to share everything.

2. Did you experience difficulties in communicating

with your classmates, friends/colleagues here in
Roxas City? How did you overcome it?
-​Yes, because I don’t know how to speak the city’s dialect. It was hard
for me at first because I was at the adjusting period. But months
passed, because of my classmates, I somehow blended in with
what they speak.

3. As a minister’s kid, how will you handle the situation

when you transfer from one place to another?
A. ​Adapting the culture of a certain place
B. ​Learning the language
-Well culture shock is no longer a new thing for me. I’ve been to many
places and it’s really hard because sometimes it affects my studies
and my relationship with my friends. Adapting a culture of a city is
a must because it is a part of communication. If you don’t know
how to “blend in” you won’t be able to communicate to people
around you, you won’t be able to know their “rules”, their “do’s
and don’ts and that will make you a different and “alien” to them.
- Learning the language takes time. I am most likely to observe people
around me. How they speak and what they speak. With that, I am
able to learn something with them.
4. What have you learned here in Filamer Christian
University?
- ​If we’re talking about academic skills, I’ve learned a lot. But if
we’re talking about life skills, I could share a few. Well here’s a bit
of differentiation. FCU taught me things I should know about the
school. Like for example, their rules and regulations, everything
about the school’s policy and etc. now the PEOPLE of FCU taught
me how to not only speak Hiligaynon but they also taught me how
to cope up. They are very nice to me and they are the ones who
makes leaving FCU hard.
5. What you do not want here in Filamer Christian
University?
- There’s nothing I don’t like about FCU. I like the people, the
school. Everything is fine and good. I would definitely recommend
this school to my friends if they move there in Capiz.
