Figure: 2.5. The Process of Communication Diagram
The diagram describes that communication happens when a person wants to convey his her thought of feeling to another person. The thought or feeling which
has not been sent yet is still in head or brain and it is called information source. Moreover, the information which has been sent to another person is called a
massage. To send the information to other, someone needs a tool. The tool used in speaking is voice. The voice is called transmitter, and the first person’s message is
transmitted information. The ear of the person who is expected to receive the information is called
receiver. While his her brain is the information destination. As the receiver, the job of the ear is to receive the message not to understand it. The message can only
be understood by the information destination or the brain. The second person’s message is received information.

A message is information which is transmitted and received. While a massage is on its way between transmitter and receiver is called as a signal.
During on the way to reach the receiver, a noise signal may interfere with the wanted signal. A noise signal comes from source signal. There are many kinds of
source, such as sound of radio, television, car, animal, and so on. After the information from the first person reaches the information
destination that is the second person’s brain, the second person may give response by speaking to the first person again. Then the process of speaking is repeated.
The process of speaking is well-done when either first person or second person exchange their thought or feeling.
