Speaking is the way to express our views, thoughts or opinions. It is a reflection of what we think and what we feel. It converts our thoughts into words. It gives expression of our behavior and personality. Speaking is the accurate medium of expressing knowledge. It is the way to have communication and interaction with others.
When we speak, two things are
majorly considered, diction and fluency. We must think before speaking, especially when we are angry
because in anger, our mouth works faster than our minds. Whatever we speak, leaves our impression on others. it can make someone
happy or it can make someone extremely angrily. We must have clarity and quality in our
speaking, as people judge us on the
basis of what we speak or talk. A person who has a lack of clarity in his
speaking, is unable to express himself thoroughly, creates misunderstanding or
confusion. It impact badly on our
impression. Every system is based on proper communication and interaction, one
must learn a language to express himself
with clarity. We should be able to have
strong conversation in our mother tongue and the official language that we use
at our workplace.
The children speak what they hear from their parents,
teachers or friends. So we should talk to them in such a way we expect them to
do with us. If we speak angrily or in harsh tone, it could return the same to
us, so we should react accordingly.
The children are taught rhymes and songs to develop their speaking skills. They learn to
speak with clarity through
rhymes and songs. The children
should be encouraged to interact and
communicate with people from different
areas to know different styles of speaking. They should be encouraged to
participate in debates and extempore to
make himself or herself confident to react immediately with proper words and
fluency.
The teachers should interact with
children more and involve them to communicate freely and when they express
their views, they should be asked questions like why, how or what. This will
make them think about that matter and their critical thinking skills will be
developed and this will make them more confident while speaking. Words are the
most powerful things because they can free our thoughts which are prisoner in
our minds.
