Speaking is one of the most
important skills to be developed and enhanced as means of effective
communication. The ability to communicate effectively is important in
relationships, education and work as it is a mechanism we use to establish and
modify relationships.
While speaking, looking into the eyes of the person with
whom you are conversing can make the interaction more succ
essful. Use gestures
with your hands and face while talking so that it must seem like your whole
body is talking. Not only should one be able to speak effectively, one must
listen to the other person’s words and engage in communication on what the
other person is speaking about. While speaking pronounce the words correctly
and clearly. This makes better impression to others. Slow your speech because
if you talk fast, people will think that you are getting nervous. To be a good
speaker try to be a good listener. Make sure you are using proper grammar. Have
confidence while talking, it doesn’t matter what other people think. Don’t over
praise yourself in front of your audience. Do not interrupt while the others
are talking because it breaks the flow of conversation
