I agree completely, and the art of listening is like a treasure in a person because not everyone has this art. But if you meet such a person don't let him leave your life.
I agree with the girls too. These words can`t belong to children, because even not all adults understand and follow these simple rules of communication. But it`s really perfect, that the children study them in such a tender age, I think, it will make their lives much easier in the future. And it is really very simple. We should show that we are interested in our interlocutor, that he isn`t indifferent to us. Sometimes we can only encourage the person, show great interest in him, and it can become the beginning of wonderful friendship. So, be compassionate and kind!
I think all people must listen to each other because we need the support of our friends and relatives. And, of course, it is very important for our communicating with other people. Also, I agree with the girls about children.
Well yes, Asya is right about children. But this is a really good rule- be a good listener. We should try to listen to our friends, we mustn't think only about ourselves. This rule is a good way to have good relationships with people.
Don't believe that these words really belong to children. To my mind, children would have used simpler words! And would have given simpler examples! But nevertheless their pieces of advice are really good. They are saying right things.
