All living things communicate in some way or the other. Communication

can be verbal (oral), non-verbal, visual and written.

Humans, animals and birds all make
sounds in verbal communication.

Humans speak, birds sing and chirp,

insects buzz and dogs bark. People

communicate in a variety of ways,

such as storytelling and music.

Non-verbal communication refers to communication

that takes place without speaking. A delicate touch, an

angry expression or a hard push all convey a message.

their thoughts, ideas and feelings through sign
language.

People using sign language

hand movements.
