The Importance of Interpersonal Communication

The 21st century is an age of information and knowledge. In such an age, interpersonal communication plays an increasingly important role both in the society and in a corporate.

Why is interpersonal communication so important? There are some reasons contributing to this new trend. First, it helps people to understand each other better and clean up misunderstanding. For example, in a family, communication makes the family members get closer owing to the mutual understanding. Second, it helps people get more information and knowledge. Students can learn more effectively if they can communicate more with his teachers and classmates. As for leaders or professionals need more information which largely depends on their communicative channels. Third, without the interpersonal communication, our life would become a desert lack of emotion and friendship. Last but not the least, communication between people makes our life lively, interesting and lovely.

In a word, humans, as social animals, have to communicate with each other, the importance of which can never be overemphasized. (168 words)

人际交流的重要性

21世纪是信息和知识的时代。在这样一个时代，人际交流在社会和企业中发挥着越来越重要的作用。

为什么人际沟通如此重要呢?这一新趋势的出现有一些原因。首先，它有助于人们更好地相互理解和扫清误解。例如，在一个家庭中，由于互相理解，家庭成员之间关系更密切了。第二，它帮助人们获得更多的信息和知识。如果学生可以多与他们的老师和同学沟通，他们就可以更有效地学习。作为领导者或专业人士需要更多的信息，这些在很大程度上依赖于他们的沟通渠道。第三，没有人际交流，我们的生活会变成沙漠般缺乏情感和友谊。最后同样重要的是，人与人之间的沟通使我们的生活生动、有趣、愉悦。
