Communication Is Wonderful

(Video script)

American philosopher and educator John Dewey once wrote, “Of all affairs, communication is the most wonderful.”

Communication is the most common thing in the world — so normal, so natural, so everyday and so everywhere. All over the globe, people communicate with each other.

We begin to communicate from the moment we are born, trying out our voice by ourselves, reacting and responding to our parents and eventually with the world we are born into.

We learn to communicate through our life at school. Teaching is communicating. We explore the interactions between humanity and nature, between the past and the future, and between the subjective and the objective.

We aspire to communicate as responsible adults, building connections in our professional lives and promoting understanding in our social relationships.

We also strive to communicate in today’s world, knowing how essential communication is in international affairs and how critical it is in times of war and peace.

Communication is a subtle human art that is extremely powerful. It has the power to tap new opportunities, or to shut open doors; the power to generate new actions, or to undermine existing ones; the power to build trust, or to destroy relationships. Either in leadership of others or in pursuit of a better life for ourselves, communication is the wonderful means of fulfilling our potential.

It is said that “when heaven and earth are communicating, all things will run smoothly; when superiors and inferiors communicate, they will strive for the same goals.”

Whether with our inner voice or on a global stage, with or without words…we know, communication creates wonders.

Question:

Make a speech about the “wonderful communication” you have experienced and how it has helped you to know your potential. Please give your speech a title.）
