Think First
Everyone, even native language speakers, experience a communication breakdown. The consequences of a communication breakdown range from slight to very serious. As a language learner, you have no doubt experienced a time when you didn't understand someone or someone didn't understand you. What happened? What did you do? What were the consequences?
Then Write
Describe the event in your journal. Include this information in your description.
What happened?
How did you feel about this experience?
What did the other person (people) feel and/or do?
What can you do to avoid this experience next time? What class activities can help you?

Speak with a person from anouther country it`s a crazy experience `cause some times this person doesn`t understand what do you want to say! In may homestay there are many people and some times I can`t understand them...so I have to ask them to speak more slowly `cause this way it`s easier to understand. Otherwise it`s good for me because I have to improve my English and this this friends I can train more! Every day after my school I do something with my two friends, a girl from Peru and a boy from Quebec, and our 3 have diferent language, however we have to speak only in English.
From the time begining, people have needed to comunicate for "everything". There is nothig mopre important in the world and the history than the comunication; even in the Stone Age humans comunicated with each other. But the cuestion is, what happens when the coimunication doesn't work, what happens when the comunication breaks down???
To bad chriss ane you had to take out our blogs but hopefuly ill stay in touch.
