20、nglish 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 mainly the lack of confidence and right methods. I still remember when I first landed
21、 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 same to the English learners who have no courage to start a topic and face an awkward s
22、ilence 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 some advice on how to speak good English in terms of the experience I got from being
23、 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 be involved in dialogues. I notice that many students do well in speaking when cond
24、ucting 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 things around you. The ability to make dialogues is very important in social communicati
25、on.(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 to practice your English with. Before going to English Corner, please read up on you

Secondly, discussion and debate play a key role. (6)I always enlighten my students that y
28、our 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 an eloquent person must be an elite. So the best way to drill your speaking abilities is t
29、o 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 everyone aired his opinions, then we conducted debate to argue, to express ideas to convince
30、the others.

Hence, its also effective for you, my beloved friends or student

Many students do want to improve their English by all means.(7)Its self-evident that all of us like taking down notes when we are listening to the lectures given by teachers at school. But its not a

34、rence. 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.(8)Unless you use the language everyday, you will never know how good you are at it. Ask your friends who are good at English to help.
35、 Try to speak it as much as possible, and let them interrupt you whenever you make mistakes and ask them to correct you.(9)Do not feel embarrassed to make mistakes, for that is the only way you will learn. Enjoy losing face and enjoy making mistakes because that is the way how the process of acquiri
