16、ood English Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Having authentic and polished oral English is every learners dream, however,(1)many of my students spent a lot of years, money and efforts on speaking this language well but failed to be able to communicate and speak out, the reason to which might be m
17、ainly the lack of confidence and right methods. I still remember when I first landed on the soil of Beijing 5 years ago: I could not communicate with my friends and even felt uneasy when going out with them because I did not have the confidence to start a conversation with my Mandarin.(2)Its the sam
18、e to the English learners who have no courage to start a topic and face an awkward silence after the initial greeting was given because they dont know what to talk about and are not confident of putting something across correctly, thus the conversation comes to an end. Here I would like to give you
19、some advice on how to speak good English in terms of the experience I got from being a teacher for many language training schools and being interpreter for government as well as embassies. There are 3-D methods(Dialogue, Discussion and Debate)to improve your eloquence. First of all, its important to
20、 be involved in dialogues. I notice that many students do well in speaking when conducting a prepared speech or presentation in class.(3)But speaking English fluently is not just about making presentations and giving speeches. It is about expressing your ideas and insight on the most mundane of thin
21、gs around you. The ability to make dialogues is very important in social communication.(4)Topics for casual conversation could include the weather, education, music, current affairs, hobbies, travel, etc. Do not always ask foreigners “ what is your name and how is your job“ when you want to find one
22、 to practice your English with.(5)Before going to English Corner, please read up on your area of interest and try framing sentences to express your opinions.(6)Talk about it with someone close to you or someones English level is higher than yours, so you can check for your language accuracy and flue
23、ncy.(7)Youd better grasp regularly used ways of small talk, and you will be able to initiate speaking more confidently. If you can break this barrier and speak out with passion and confidence, you can take your first step into the realm of English speaking and become a public speaker in the future.
24、Secondly, discussion and debate play a key role. (8)I always enlighten my students that your language ability and academic achievements are very important and imperative, but the most important of all is your eloquence to communicate in the personal relationships. Elite may not have eloquence, but a
25、n eloquent person must be an elite. So the best way to drill your speaking abilities is to discuss and debate. When I was a junior, I always raised discussions with my classmate in my dorm, questions like environmental protection, cohabitation, 2008 Olympics, postgraduate exams and so on. After ever
26、yone aired his opinions, then we conducted debate to argue, to express ideas to convince the others. And I gradually build up on my own repertoire of conversational topics and start using them whenever I get a chance: subsequently I have good command of English, and won a lot of awards in English sp
27、eech contest and debate. Hence, its also effective for you, my beloved friends or students, to have a try to use your language to discuss and debate. Of course, other methods may work, too. Many students do want to improve their English by all means.(9)Its self-evident that all of us like taking dow
28、n notes when we are listening to the lectures given by teachers at school. But its not a correct way to speak good language. Can you learn swimming by standing at the edge of the pool and taking down the words spoken by the coach? You have to take the plunge, right? I seldom took notes when I was gi
29、ven lessons, but I would memorize them with my mouth, my mind and my ears. There is just one case I will take notes when I am doing my job as an interpreter for the Beijing municipal government and embassy.(10)I still remember when I was interpreting for the ambassador from the Philippines, at which
30、 moment she was delivering the speech about 10 minutes at the Great Wall international conference. Hadnt I taken the notice from the speaker, I dont think I would have interpreted for her and won the applause from the officials. It is the same with language.(12)Unless you use the language everyday,
31、you will never know how good you are at it. Ask your friends who are good at English to help.(11)Try to speak it as much as possible, and let them interrupt you whenever you make mistakes and ask them to correct you.(13)Do not feel embarrassed to make mistakes, for that is the only way you will lear
32、n. Enjoy losing face and enjoy making mistakes because that is the way how the process of acquiring fluency a language occurs. Everyone may have made a lot of mistakes before getting a good grasp of mother tongue. The only difference now is that you are conscious of the mistakes. So, do not be afrai
33、d of making mistakes. (14)Then, there are attitudes that count most. (15 - 1)If you do want to learn something well, you are supposed to have confidence and passion. I love playing the piano, basketball and learning as well as being a teacher, to which I devote my whole interest, confidence and pass
34、ion no matter how many mistakes I will encounter, how helpless, how hopeless and how far away for me to reach my final goal. I will never stop fighting for the betterment and improvement of myself and to be an all-grounded person equipped with knowledge and clear mindset.(15-2)And that is why I hope
35、 all of you can be confident and passionate for what you have done and what you will be doing. Finally, I want to say: try to be confident and passionate in the journey of study and life, all you need is a will to learn and the initiative to begin. That done, it is simply a matter of time and effort

45、y. Why is it that when women get into a position of power, when they become the boss or become leaders, they tend to be unpopular?

46、 never take your personal problems to a male boss, but you do take them to a woman boss because women are nurturing, just because thats what women do.
