When you get a letter in the mail, the mail man doesn't have to stop and explain the situation. You know that someone, a company or a friend, has sent you something. You take the letter and open it, no additional instructions needed. This is such an ordinary process; it's hard to imagine that it would be difficult.
One of the main purposes of writing is to clearly communicate ideas from one person to the next. Many times you won't be there to explain what you meant when you wrote your paper, or when you wrote a "how to" manual for some software. Hopefully there will be no oral explanation necessary.
Again this emphasizes the idea that you need to revise your paper as much as you can. Have someone read your paper to themselves. You could email it to them and ask them to read it before you come to talk to them about it. When you talk to them, ask them what they felt your main ideas were. If they explain what you were trying to say, you've done a great job. This is a great and helpful process.
