Research shows men and women have different styles of speaking.Men tend to use “report talk” to express information and self-importance，while women tend to use “rapport_(融洽)_talk” to

establish intimacy (亲密) and connection.Then women will see men as self-centered and

domineering，while men will see women as illogical and insecure.Men will accuse women of asking for advice and then not taking it and being unable to make decisions.Women will accuse men of ignoring their feelings and always stepping in to solve problems with a lot of “you should”．

These differences impact the way messages are sent and received，causing communication breakdown.For example，a female supervisor seeks a conversation from her male boss about a problem she is having with one of her employees.She just wants him to listen to her and express what she’s thinking.Instead，he begins telling her what she should do with the problem employee.She becomes frustrated (沮丧的)，feeling her time has been wasted.He feels he has solved the problem，and it’s time to move on.

Taking this situation into home，the wife wishes to discuss a problem she’s having with her husband，and he jumps in with the solution before she has had a chance to express her opinions.She gets mad and leaves the room saying，“You just never listen！”

In both cases，some very important communication skills are seriously lacking.First of all，the woman needs to show what she wants from the man.If she doesn’t tell him what she wants in the beginning，he should be wise to ask，“Do you want my advice or just want me to listen to you？”

Having an awareness of gender differences will help you increase understanding，decrease tension and improve teamwork.We should listen to each other and be more open to learning from our differences rather than allowing them to control our growth and ability to communicate with one another.

2．There were not more than 200 people present at the meeting.
