Communication Skills for Students Worksheet: Final Test
Communication tip (Listen, speak, show, write — kindly): Find the topic of the question: basics (parts, types, non-verbal, notes, barriers), listening (active listening, questions, turns, paraphrasing, empathy), speaking (clear speech, tone, body language, “I” statements, assertive) or real life (teachers, calls, groups, online, kind words). Use that lesson’s tip and read every option before you choose. For talking-time sums: share equally = minutes ÷ children; time left = total − time used; a whole round = children × minutes each + extra minutes.
