Me …… i need this done ! make a point of using active, creative listening skills for the next twenty-four hours. afterward, think about your experience. 1. did you have any trouble concentrating on what others were saying? 2. were your friends and family aware of your greater involvement in what they were saying? 3. how did you feel about the experience? type the results of your listening exercise. your response should be at least 125 words long.

Using active, creative listening skills for twenty four hours is very interesting. I made up my mind to concentrate on what others were saying, especially the members of my family and friends. It wasn´t easy at all because I am used to talking to them and I like others to pay attention to me. But I tried hard and made myself a promise: buying some chocolates and candies after performing this listening skill.

Nobody seemed to realize my involvement in their statements but I learned a lot from this experience. I felt listening is more rewarding. That´s why we have two ears and only a mouth.

1. Sometimes it is more difficult to concentrate if you use active listening skills because you have to simultaneously understand what you are being told and reassure the speakers that you understand them by using verbal affirmations like for example "Sure", "I understand", "I see", etc. So, for me it sometimes caused me trouble trying to use active listening skills like nodding, establishing eye contact or paraphrasing what the speakers said in order to show them that I was involved.

2.  Some of my friends and family responded differently to my active listening and seemed to be more excited about what they were talking about because I seemed to be really interested in what they had to say.

3. I also felt a little bit differently because active listening is more demanding than passive listening and it required greater effort from my part.

bad answer your dumb

explanation:

dumb

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
