Example Topic: According to Chapter 4, oral and written forms of communication are similar in many ways. They both rely on the basic communication process, which consists of eight essential elements: source, receiver, message, channel, receiver, feedback, environment, context, and interference. They both may have some common characteristics, yet when we are asked to write something, we often feel anxious and view writing as a more effortful, exacting process than talking would be.
