Talk is usually the ability of a person to communicate with another person verbally. In this type of communication, people use their mouths and other non-verbal form of communication to past the information. Talk may be defined as a speech, disclosure and even a familiar verbal or oral intercourse as well as an ordinary manner of delivering a speech. Moreover, talk may be viewed as a popular and familiar disclosure of a public domain. Many people feel that talk is the best way of send a message to a person verbally.  Talk may be seen as speaking in order for a person to provide information, feeling and even express ideas. It is viewed to be more of a conversation that is taking place through spoken words (Beebe, Susan & Mark, 15). Talk is considered as the most common form of Interpersonal communication process.

Talk is seen as the most suitable and appropriate way of communicating with people especially those who are near. In most cases, express speech is categories as talking. Talk may either be negative or positive depending on several factors. This may be in form of the context, subject and knowledge about the given object. TALK   is categorized as under interpersonal communication. In interpersonal communication, there are elements that affect the communication process. First, the communicators play a major role in any communication process. For any sort of communication to take place or occur there should be at least two people present. One should be the sender of the communication and the other is the receiver of message. However, the communication is termed as one-way process which indicates the probability of the existence of sender who is believed to be talking while the other is the receiver who at this point is just listening. 

Another element involved in talking as a form of communication the message being conveyed. In every communication, there must be the subject of discussion which plays the role of message being conveyed. In addition, the message may be non-verbal such as facial expressions, gestures, body language, and even the tone of the voice. This non-verbal behavior usually assists the receiver to understand the spoken message in a clear manner.  Another appropriate element is the noise. The presence of noise usually indicates a special meaning to the theory concerning communication. Noise is termed as something that distorts the message which affects the receiver’s ability to understand effectively. Feedback is another element that plays a major role in interpersonal communication. In every communication, after the message is conveyed the receiver should provide the feedback as per his or her understanding (Mahwah, 205). 

In a nutshell: if the message is delivered under the favorable circumstances, the receiver will be in a position to respond to it appropriately. The message is usually accompanied by non-verbal communication which also assists the receiver respond to the sender. The feedback will be provided in an effective manner if only the receiver is an active listener. Finally, Context and channel of the message may also play a massive part in whether the message will reach the receiver in an effective manner. If the channel is appropriate, the feedback provided will be appropriate. 

Conclusion

Talking is considered as the most appropriate method of communicating to the receiver. In addition, people should learn all the elements involved in interpersonal communication which also involve both verbal and non-verbal ways. People should be in a position to understand the message conveyed in a better way if only they consider non-verbal methods.
