Body language – body language is a form of mental and physical ability of human on verbal communication which consists of body posture, gestures facial expressions and eye movements Humans send and interpret such signals almost entirely subconsciously. It’s a way of communication I think that it’s good to show your body language which shows if your listen or concentrating on what is said. Body language is an important part of communication which can constitute 50% or more of what we are communicating.  The world's best business communicators have strong body language: a commanding presence that reflects confidence, competence, and charisma. Its all about the eye contact too much eye contact and people may feel scared and the way your body movement is. Here's an example (lee evens)

Using smileys or emotionsusing smileys or emotions shows how your feeling which then the other person can tell how your feeling by seeing this emotion. This may be used on social network sites or through emails. Smileys and emoticons are used in written forms of communication to represent emotions and/or facial expressions of the author which are often lost in the process due to a lack of human emotion being easily conveyed through text. Emoticons are formed out of keyboard characters (such as punctuation and letters) and are often made to resemble faces. Common examples being variations of :-) and :-( where the colons represent eyes, the dash represents a nose and the bracket represents a mouth (either happy or sad respectively when looked at sideways). Here's an example ( texts msn email )
Grammar and spelling – Punctuation is the art of marking off, by means of certain conventional signs, the divisions of a sentence so as to bring out the meaning more clearly and grammar is the art of using words according to set conventions and rules. Spelling is, quite simply, the correct sequence of letters for words. Correct spelling improves the overall presentation of your work and will help with your confidence in writing. Writing is constructed by putting sentences in sequence one after another and if a single sentence is read aloud it should be understandable here’s an example ( writing a letter)
Structure - A good structure will help you to express yourself more clearly, whether in a dissertation, an essay, a job application letter or a CV. Clarify your thoughts and the purpose of your communication before you start writing. In business communications, clarity is more important than style. Also you need to identify the key points, facts and themes and decide on the logical order for what you have to say. Use short and long sentences to make the reader want to read more as because they aren't to long, to long sentences are just boring and would put off the person and always put your point in the first line and then ass the supporting information afterwards. Having a good strong beginning and ending first will make an immediate and positive impression on the reader; the second will remain in their mind after they have finished reading. Here’s an example ( writing a email or story or email)
