- Spending time with family. Well, to spend time with family what better way to do it than communicating? Talking with each other about the day, events that happened, etc. all use communication.
- Writing a grocery list. Grammar and writing are pretty much the only two factors, other than your thought process, that you use to create a grocery list.
- Cell phones. All three of these things can be used on a cell phone. Communication is used with sending e-mail, texts, and also making phone calls. For texts you would use reading and writing.
- Paying taxes. This is probably one of the few times a year an adult actually dreads knowing how to read, write, and even communicate. In order to pay taxes you will use all three also. Even when filing taxes online you still have to be able to sign your name, read exactly what you need to include in the paperwork, and to communicate with the government (and/or the Mr./Ms. that helps you file them).
- Buying cars and a house. It's pretty much the same as paying taxes. You will have to fill out paperwork, sign several places, and communicate with the salesperson to try and get a decent deal on your vehicle or soon to be new home.
- Social media sites. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest. To use all of these you will be reading everyone virtually says. You can also communicate with friends, relatives, etc. by writing comments, messaging, tagging them in photos.
- Doctor appointments. You will need communication to be able to call and schedule your appointment. You will need to be able to speak to your doctor or nurse to let them know what's been going on and how you've been feeling. Reading would be included, too. If you were prescribed a medication you would like to be able to figure out what it is you're supposed to be taking and the side effects to that certain medicine.
- Schooling. Communication is very important in schooling as well. As is writing, reading, and plenty other skills. You will most likely have presentations, which include you standing and talking in front of your classmates and teacher. You will need to know how to read and write for when you have papers and essays also.
