communication

How are things going these days? I’m busy with my school business recently and fail to write to you. I guess you must miss me a little bit, right? I have something new to tell you. I was obsessed with online game last semester and made acquaintance with a lot of online friends, to whom I could pour out my heart and release pressure in real life. I did believe we could keep such solid friendship though we didn’t even know each other. However, everything changed a year later. We all stopped playing computer games and became strangers again. Sometimes I would recall the time we fighted against enemies hand in hand in the online game world. But those precious, passionate times will never come back.

I’m a little confused about these things. Time always tell true friendships. I think it’s a little bit cruel. Best wishes! Message reply: Dear,

Things are going well. I’m sorry we have not talked for so long. I apologize, but I have moved on to a new game. The

game is called Dota 2. You should join me! We can rekindle that passion we once had. We can win all the games we play together. I am me once you make an account. My user name is “America Man”. Don’t be sad about us not talking. Look forward to us talk again. Comment This interactivity of sending letter and getting reply between foreigners and us can be regarded as a communication process. Information is exchanged and understood by two or more people, with the intention to motivate or influence behavior, which in this case means the replies to letters written from the different language speakers.

Here are the components involve in this communication process:

1) The senders(信息源): Students from different groups in

our class.

2) Message(信息)：The contents of the letter. We feel

confused about the fragile and transient friendship online.

3) Encoding(编码): we choose the nonverbal method to

send an intentional message.

4) Channel（渠道）：Here we use the method of sending

letters rather than calling or conversation.

5) Receiver(接收者)：The foreign class students of Henry. 6) Decoding（解码）：The activity during which the receiver

attaches meaning to the words or symbols he/she has received. How they interpret the meaning of the letter.

7) Feedback(反馈)：Here means the reply of the letter. The

receiver of our letter interprets the message well. He encourages and comforts us with simple but warm-hearted words. He told us not to be discouraged by the current situation but learn to look forward to the future development. It’s so kind of him to say so. 8) Noise(干扰): We think the noise here mainly refers to

the psychological noise and semantic noise. Firstly, maybe during the process of communicating with foreigners we may feel nervous and mind-blank. Besides, since we are different language speakers, we may find difficulties in the communication. For example, I don’t understand the sentence” I am me once you make an account”.
