听力原文：How to Communicate Effectively Good morning, everybody. Today, I’d like to talk about how to communicate effectively. No matter your age, background, or experience, effective communication is a skill you can learn. The greatest leaders of all time are also fantastic communicators and orators. In fact, communications is one of the most popular college degrees today: people recognize the value of a truly efficient communicator. [1] With a little self-confidence and knowledge of the basics, you’ll be able to get your point across in no time. To be an effective communicator, the first stage is the preparatory period.

Thirdly, remove distractions. [6] Turn off all electronics that could interrupt the conversation. If the phone rings, laugh it off the first time, then turn it off immediately and continue talking. [7] Do not allow external distractions to act as crutches that sidetrack your concentration. They will distract both you and your listener, and will effectively kill the communication.
