Can talking with people improve social skills?

Việc trò chuyện với mọi người có thể cải thiện kỹ năng xã giao không?

Regular conversation teaches active listening, turn-taking, eye contact and how to adjust language for different people.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A shy student may become more confident after joining group discussions or clubs.

Does technology help people communicate better with others?

Digital communication lets people connect with friends, relatives and coworkers across long distances almost instantly.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Video calls can reduce communication barriers for families living in different countries.

These skills are difficult to learn only from books, because real interaction requires quick responses to different personalities and situations.
