Active Listening

To show that you are listening activly you should sit up and look at the speaker. You should THINK about what he or she said and make connections in your head. You should ignore distractions and stay focused on the speaker only. Also do not fiddle with something and participate if you are asked to; tell ideas and ask quetions if something is not clear to you. It is important to be an active listener to understand others ideas and help others and learn from them.
