Speaking
is the delivery of language through the mouth. Speech can flow naturally from
one person to another in the form of dialogue. It can also be planned and
rehearsed, as in the delivery of a speech or presentation. Speaking can be
formal or informal.
Informal
speaking is typically used with family and friends, or people you know well. Speaking occurs in business or academic
situations, or when meeting people for the first time.
The
four main important skills are Fluency, Vocabulary, Grammar and Pronunciation.
1.
Fluency is about how comfortable and confident we are in speaking English.
Whatever is spoken by us should be understood by the listener.
2.
Vocabulary- If we don't have enough words then you cannot speak. So vocabulary
is a must. Being a good speaker means constantly growing our vacabulary. If we
know more interesting words then our speaking skills will be stronger. The
best way to grow our vocabulary is to read more and make a note of new words.
3.
Grammar- If we know the grammar properly then we do fewer mistakes while
speaking. Though we should not be worried about mistakes. A good speaker does
not have to use perfect grammar.
4.
Pronunciation- Pronunciation is also a skill that can be practised. If we simply
listen carefully to the person who is speaking and try to imitate them as
closely as possible.
