         The word cornmunication comes from the verb to communicate, which means to
give or exchange information, news, ideas, or opinions by speech.or writing. In other
words, communication is the sending of information or news between people.
         Through communication people learn from one another the things they want to know. Imagine if human beings could not communicate with one another. If a person cannot communicate, he will not talk to other people, and no other people will talk to him or teach him anyting. So it would be impossible for him to learn anything.

How would not learn to talk and would not learn to do many other things either. Someone Must teach the child. It other words, someone must communicate knowledge and skills to the child.
         The main way people communicate with one another is by speaking. Two people can communicate in this way when they are near to each other. Nowdays, however, we can use electronic instruments like the telephone, radio and telegraph as means of communication. It we do not have a telephone or a radio, we can still communicate by writing letters.
         Writing began when men use pictures to expalin their thought to other. Now writing has become a very important means of communication. Newspaper, magazines, books and other printed materials use writing.
