Answer and Explanation:

Hello. You did not enter the book to which the question refers, which may leave the second answer a little inaccurate.

1. One day, I needed to seek technical assistance from a computer that I was unable to run software on. When I arrived at the assistance website and explained in the chat what was going on, I said "I think there is a problem here". With the word "here" I was referring to my computer, but the assistant got it wrong, thinking I was referring to the site. I believe that my message was interpreted incorrectly due to the choice of words I made, I should have said "I think there is a problem with my computer," because the words I used left the sentence inaccurate and prone to misinterpretation .

2. In order for messages to always be interpreted clearly and precisely, it is necessary to use words that clearly expose the desired message in a specific and very clear way. It is important to quote all the necessary terms and to think carefully before speaking, allowing the choice of correct words.

3. Communication is important to allow the exchange of information between people, thus allowing technical and academic knowledge to be exposed and absorbed, creating efficient and professional citizens in the most diverse areas, who will also find it easier to transmit information with other individuals.
