II. Read the following passage and then answer the questions below it.
Communication is essential in life. When two or more people exchange information, they
communicate. Someone sends a message and another (or others) receives it. To avoid
misunderstandings, there must be clear communication. Otherwise, there might be fighting and
hurt feelings. Communication can help to build or destroy relationships. For example, if you
express your feeling using kind words, people will probably respond in a more positive way. If
you are mean, people might not want to spend time with you. Good communication is also
important to express what you need. In general, there are three ways or styles of communication.
The first style is the passive communication style. A passive person does not offer any
disagreement even when feeling pressured. The second style is the aggressive communication
style. An aggressive person is hostile and unfriendly. The third style is the assertive
communication style. An assertive person communicates in the healthiest way by being direct yet
respectful.
