Writing: Writing requires three basic steps for a concise and easy to read piece, one 
should plan, write then edit. Writing as a communication skill requires you to decide 
on what you want to write on by outlining them or getting the materials ready before 
you write as a way of planning. This is to ensure that you don’t miss out anything 
and you don’t write what is supposed to be at the beginning at the tail of the piece. 
Writing as the second stage is the most important step among the highlighted. Here 
the messages are put through in a clear and concise way with words leading to 
sentences and paragraphs. Avoid usage of words that will confuse readers. Finally, 
editing the piece requires a calm mind. The final stage is very important because one 
will be able to trace grammatical errors. While editing also it is a way to read the 
piece again (Oum.edu., 2014 p.9). 
Listening: This is a participatory kind of communication skill. It is basically about 
taking in words and giving meanings to them. Among the necessary skills you need 
to acquire with listening to be a good listener is discipline and awareness of one’s 
self. Also a good listener has to show active participation by speaking. This is to tell 
the speaker that you are getting along with him/her as the case may be (Hurst, 1996 
p.52). Listening goes more than hearing as many may think they mean the same. It is 
active rather than passive. You belong to the situation when you listen. To be 
effective with this communication skill, one can improve listening through phone 
calls, listening to the media sets (television or radio), listening to public speeches etc.

listening allows us to partake in communication processes and makes us define the 
message. When we listen to people’s messages (either verbally or gestural cues), we 
absorb and we react accordingly to the message. It is worthy of note that the process 
of waiting to speak after listening does not affect listening (Dixon & O’Hara, 2010 
p.12).
