Misunderstanding is common in our daily life,and it causes many unwanted troubles,such as destruction of friendship or love,argument,conflict,and so forth. In my opinion,there are three main aspects that cause misunderstanding.The first one is the seks's differences.Women would tend to exaggerate the facts a little bit or use some metaphors for effect,which lead that men mistakenly take these expressions literally or misinterpret what women said. Generation gap is the second one.Especially parents and children who seldom get together misunderstanding each other easily.The third one is cultural gaps.Different countries or different places in misunderstanding during communication. The more attentions,the less misunderstandings. Friends,how do you avoid misunderstanding in your life?

I think we can avoid misunderstanding by learning the art of listening. We should not comment first or argue with a certain person not unless he or she is finish talking with his or her own opinion. We should develop a good communication flow in order to avoid misunderstanding. I always have that problem cause I always never want to listen to what other people advise to me, or whatever they say about me. I'm a stubborn but I manage to develop this attitude of listening cause I always get in trouble because of misunderstanding.
