Effective verbal and written communication skills?

Hi people, I am applying for a position that asks me to demonstrate effective verbal and written communication skills. Can anyone suggest examples of this in an office or educational environment. I can't seem to think of good examples.

If someone is asking you to provide an example, then use your experience and "paint" them a verbal picture. Imagine the question being: Tell me about a specific time when you had to describe a complex, difficult or new situation to someone. What was the situation? What did you do? What was the outcome? What did you learn?

If your example can answer these four questions, then you are in good shape for either a written or verbal situation. In fact, if you can craft your response about a time when you were charged with a written communication, you can effectively kill two birds with one stone if you can verbally explain the situation well.

    you may have had to deal with difficult customers, a wide range of people developing effective working relationships. If you are able to communicate well by e-mail without being misunderstood that would be a good one, ability to write reports if you have done that or prepare/researched information that has to be in a format for someone else to understand. have you ever worked in a team and been able to fully express your views/persuade others to your way of thinking. Have you delegated tasks and got the desired outcome/result, all that sort of thing would be relevant.
