Have you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings(误解)?Littlewonder.We often believe we're more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are,according to Boza Keysar,a professor at the University of Chicago.In his recent study,speakerstried to express their meanings using unclear sentences.Speakers who thought listeners understoodwere wrong nearly half the time.Here‟s some good advice to reduce misunderstanding：(1)Don‟t trust what you see from the listener.Listeners often nod,look at you or say“uhhuh”to be polite or move the conversation along.But it‟s easy to consider these as signs ofunderstanding.(2)Train the editor(编辑)in your head.If you say,“Beth discusses her problems with herhusband，”it's not clear whether she‟s talking to her husband or about him.Try instead，“Beth talksto her husband about her problems.”or“Beth talks to others about the problems with her husband.”(3)Ask listeners to repeat your message.Introduce your request by saying“I want to be sure Isaid that right.”Questions like“How does that sound?”or“Does that make sense?”may alsowork.(4)Listen well.When on the receiving end，ask questions to be sure you're on the same page.After all，it isn‟t just the speaker‟s job to make his speech understood.
