Tips for CDS 1 2017 SSB Screening Group Discussion

• Watch Your Body Language

Whether it’s how you make eye contact or how you hold yourself discussion, don’t forget that you’re constantly communicating even when you’re not saying a word. You tell your partner you’re open to discussion but your arms are crossed; say you’re listening but haven’t looked up to his face, these are bad manners in communication. One strange way to tap into your body for better communication is adopt a power pose if you need to boost your confidence before a big talk or learn how to read other people’s body language so you can respond appropriately.

• Get Rid of Unnecessary Conversation Fillers

Um’s and ah’s do little to improve your speech or everyday conversations. Cut them out to be more persuasive and feel or appear more confident. One way is to start keeping track of when you say words like “um” or “like.” You could also try taking your hands out of your pockets or simply relaxing and pausing before you speak. Those silences seem more awkward to you than they do to others.

• Adjust Your Message as per the Listener

Always try to keep the other person’s perspective in mind when you try to get your message across.

• Listen Well to Others Candidates of the Group

Best thing you can do to improve your communication skills is to learn to really listen—to pay attention and let the other person talk without interrupting.

• Read as much as you can

Reading is considered to be the best practice that can enhance basic oral communication skills.  It will aid you in developing your thinking process and enhance your sharpness in gathering ideas and expressing them in English.

• Apply Gestures while Speaking

While you speak, try making your point clear by including some gestures with the help of your hands and face. Gestures often create a positive impact on the audiences as well as on the speaker by enhancing his/her understanding.
