conveyed and digesting it and not just letting it pass to the other ear.

you must control them. In doing so, it can prevent miscommunications so that the people you are talking
to will not get confused by your emotions and acts.

6. Differentiate listening and hearing.

 -Listening consists of receiving and understanding the sound waves by paying full attention to the
words and sentences of the speaker. While hearing is more than a sense that helps you receive sound
waves and sounds with your ears. Listening is more complex than hearing because you can listen and
interpret the words at the same time while in hearing you can hear sounds and think about something at
the same time which means your attention is being distracted.
