When we talk about communication, we often think of communicating with others. But do you know that we also do communication with ourselves from time to time Picture this: Your mom asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: pancakes, bread, porridge ... You think that it would be great to have pancakes. Until you tell your mom what you want to eat, you are communicating with yourself.
We call this kind of communication intrapersonal communication (自我沟通). This can be talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering something.
Intrapersonal communication plays a big role in our lives. Good intrapersonal communication allows you to understand yourself better. When you're comfortable with who you are, and you know what you want, you can better get on with yourself. Also, intrapersonal communication helps you to keep an eye on your thoughts and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of negative (消极的) thoughts and feelings, and they make you sad, you will try to cheer up and get rid of (摆脱) these bad thoughts and feelings.
What's more, intrapersonal communication helps with your communication with others. Understanding your thoughts and feelings better allows you to put yourself in others' shoes when you talk to or listen to them. Then, you can better understand and get on with them.

Dear Emily,
I'm sorry to hear that your best friend Lucy argued with you. But don't be sad. Although Lucy might not understand you at first, I think later she will. After all, you did the right thing. In order to solve your problem with Lucy, here is some of my advice.
First of all, you should tell her the reasons why you stopped her. For example, as a student, she should do homework on her own. Copying the composition from the Internet can't help improve her writing skills. Secondly, you could ask why she didn't write it herself. If she has problems writing such a composition, maybe you should offer to help her.
I hope my advice can help solve your problem.
Yours,
Zhang Lu
