Yes I use slang in my everyday conversations because of community language it is easier than speaking in standard English all the time and the fact that it is understood by your peers it makes communication easier.
I would like to think that I use it appropriately, because you think of the context that you are using it in and apply it.

Journal Entry 9
I think that I am a good verbal communicator because I have always prided myself on improving the way I speak, learning the proper pronunciation and not being afraid to ask questions when I don't know or understand something.
In my job as a Customer Relations Officer you come into contact with different types of people of different walks of life and you have to be able to adapt, be sensitive to different scenarios and always be aware with whom you are speaking in order to be able to communicate efficiently and effectively. You have to know when to speak in layman terms for those who would not be able to understand the jargon you are using, you may need to break it down to terms they can understand. It is all about being alert, sensitive and a good listener as well as being able to empathize.

My impression of the article left me thinking that the teacher did not want to be forced out or to leave the school that she has managed because she believes that she is helping and making a difference there, but after reading the article in it's entirety makes me wonder if she is just being difficult and just using the incident to get her own way. It doesn't seem like it's about the kids anymore.

The in-class presentations impressed upon me that no matter where we live or what language we speak we have similar values and beliefs, for example we are family oriented people and we love our cultures and food. We are all passionate people in our own communities and are generally loving a people.

I think my culture has played a big role in the way I communicate because we as Trinidadians are such a flamboyant and expressive people that naturally it would be transferred to us being socialized in the essence of Calypso, Rapso, Pan and the Dialect that we speak. For me because of this my verbal and non verbal communications are heightened based on our community language the people we interact with will be able to understand my kinesics, gestures, eye contact, emblems and body postures as well as my para language, intonation, quality, volume, rate and pitch of my speech can be understood any where in Trinidad.

News Paper Article: Sunday 5th February, 2012 (page10)
After reading the headlines I thought that the people of Cedros we complaining about the crime situation, but after reading the article in it's entirety I found that they were talking about life on a whole just not one aspect. The fact that they lost their way of making a living when the coconut industry in their community fell apart, people stopped caring especially when it seemed like the government and no one cared, everyone just gave up and stopped taking pride in what was theirs. They let their animals go astray and over run the community therefore making it difficult on their neighbors as well. But with the intervention of the Ministry of Agriculture they feel like some one does care and is willing to go the extra mile to take back their community and rebuild it to what it was and even better. You see when people feel that you have a vested interest in them they give 110%

If I have to sum up how I perceive myself I would first have to state that I am convicted in my love and belief if my God, a no nonsense person when it comes to the sanctity of the marriage union, strong family values, I don't compromise my moral character, so you can say that I am a lot "old school". Apart from all this I am very loving, affable, love to laugh and have a good time cherish people. That's me in a nut shell straight and to the point.

An event that had an impact on my life was travelling abroad for the first time. I can say that it definitely did, I felt liberated and confident something that all those years ago I never thought I would because I was such a quiet child and kept to myself, never had too many friends, a loner of such, I guess I didn't trust people much. I thought that I was going to be scared, nervious and intimidated but for me it was like I exhailed. I can say that my view of life did change it opened my eyes to new adventures, broadened my horizions and made me open to new cultures as well as different people which made me look at people and accept them for who they are and not what I perceive them or think they should be.

Hi
My name is Karen Burgess and my major is Human Resource Management
As a communicator I would rate myself as a 9, because I think that I possess the skills that is needed to interpret information and relay messages effectively and I think that I am a good listener as well.
How can I improve as a communicator? Well I get nervous if I have to stand in front of a crowd to speak so that is one avenue that I need to toughen up on as well as my writing skills. Another area is that my emotions sometimes to show on my face and that sometimes needs to be controlled so as not to be perceived or interprited incorrectly.
