Oh, I’ve got two more hours to spare
in a day. That’s brilliant. Aw fabulous it is. Thank god. Mwaah. Then the
question arises, what I would do with the 120 minutes? Mmmmm….let me think. Oh
got it. I’ve got so many fantastic things to do, yes sooooo many.
I’d open Yahoo Messenger, G Talk and Facebook
straightway. In the Facebook, I’d write a salacious and lovely wall post and
join my friends on a lively and steamy discussion. And in the chatting clients
I’d pick my best chat buddies to have some delicious and lovely chat sessions. Oh, I love chatting and would enjoy it to the
fullest extent. Virtual life so…beautiful and dainty you’re. I just love you. Ah,
delicious it is.
And if internet fails, I’d try my
cell phone and continue my virtual presence and dreams.
And If, god forbid….everything fails,
I’d grab a steamy novel and read it with rapt attention. I love reading and
would certainly enjoy my time in the pages of book.
Internet and reading books, I love
and I’d always care to pass the extra time in the virtual world. Because the
time we pass with blatant lies happens to be the best time of our lives.
Then who cares…in the physical world
there is mad rush, competition, jealousy…conspiracy, traffic snarl…I’ll be
there in the virtual worlds where my friends…always praise me (Lie) they
appreciate me (Lie) they support me (Though not really) when I feel low. They
exhort me though not out of heart…when I feel like quitting or resigning. They miss me…though
they don’t really miss me. They love me, though there is no chance of it. They
smile with me share their spare time with me. And I need all those things that I
never get in the physical world. They have got so many adjectives to describe my
beauty and qualities though I know what I am and how far away from their
descriptions. They would congratulate me; wish me with roses, best words that I
never get in the physical world. They give virtual huggage, kiss and care.
I love this world….that has unfolded
many things and bestowed many things to me. This world is so beautiful….so full
of lies but who knows that the physical world gives you, are not lies.
Thanks.

You have a
treasure of vocabulary terms related to various fields. You know the rules, their uses and
limitations. You read a novel or
newspaper and refer to a dictionary not frequently. In other words, you have got a very good
base.
You can write
small articles on general themes. But
what happens you falter while speaking to a group of people or addressing an
unknown audience. All of a sudden you
begin stammering and choose to use
individual words amidst your vernacular language.
Don’t worry or
feel disheartened, as this is normal with non native speakers. Obviously, mastering a foreign language is
not that easy but not difficult as well and this should be kept in mind. Everyone experiences this kind of problem
while speaking in English.
Very often, I
hear this kind of problem from my friends.
I also read this kind of problems by users in various English language
forums. People learning English language
face the syndrome of ‘I can’t speak, you speak first.’
Those who have
got their education in vernacular languages face this problem and it is but
normal. No doubt, those students who
have got their education in English medium schools also face this problem but
the percentage is meager as far as speaking in English is concerned.
There are so
many causes of this stammering or inhibition while speaking in English or
presenting something to a group of people or attending a group discussion.
- The fear to commit mistake always help choking while speaking.
- The phobia of being exposed and offended by others in case of mistakes.
- Mistakes makes a man perfect if one learns from them. Don’t fear to commit mistakes but don’t repeat a mistake too.
- The audience phobia.
- Inferiority complexion.
- To think others as superior.
- Editing while speaking.
- Attempt to be flawless.
In a globalize world everyone wants to excel in his or her field and wants to
stand out in crowd. Those who have got
good communication and presentation skill always stand out and receive
encomiums from others. They always taste
success in their respective careers and skills.
There are
positive ways to improve and tackle this problem.
- Be confident and believe in yourself or your skill.
- Be a good listener first. A good speaker always happens to be good listener. Those who don’t pay attention while other speakers tend to falter very often while speaking.
- Know your skill or theme first then try to speak. For this read newspaper, books, periodicals and listen to news. A good reader converse well.
- Be a keen observer. Observe others closely.
- Develop a sense of humor and take everything lightly. Always sport a smile and shed any fear or phobia or inhibition.
- Be positive in your attitude and try to accommodate opposite views even if you don’t subscribe to those view points.
- Be polite and praise others but don’t flatter.
- Right body language like eye contact is important.
If you are
attending a group discussion with known theme then do a research on the theme
and gather as much information as possible.
This would allow you to present your view points in a persuasive and
effective manner.
If you are asked
to speak impromptu then your reading habit would help you in a great way. Good speakers are good readers and as they
read varied things they tend to present themselves effectively without any
prior research.
First know then
present something. Public speaking is a
very important aspect of today’s requirement if you are pursuing a career out
side your country. If you are pursuing a
career inside state or country then also you require skill in English language
as today’s world is globalize and client base is not only intra national but
international.
Speak clearly and effectively. Try to neutralize your accents and weed out local tinge as far as possible.
