When you speak， write a letter or make a telephone call， your words carry a message. Do you think you can communicate without words？ A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you raise your hand in class， the teacher knows that you want to say something or ask a question. You shake or nod your head， and people know your meaning.

Other things can also carry messages. For example， the road sign “P” helps people know where to park their car. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on the door tell you which to go in or out. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time？

People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawing to tell about beautiful mountains， about blue sea and so on. Books are written to tell about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas.

Books， magazines， TV， radio and films all help us communicate with others. They all help us know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.
