How to Become a Successful Speaker of English


Some students often say "My spoken English is poor."Others say "Speaking English is verst harcl for
me; so no need to try." This is what we call "negative thinking." In fact, a lot of Chinese students can speak good English, but they don't. Their problem is a linguistic inferiority complex, in other words, they worry that they won't be able to speak as well as other people, so they feel inferior in their presence.This sickness has a cure, that is, building self-confidence to get rid of shyness.



Here are some suggestions for you.


The first thing you can do is to speak English with good friends, with whom you can speak freely without feeling shy.



Then, try your ability with teachers and foreigners if possible. Don't be afraid of mistakes and don't be afraid to ask questions about things you don't know, as this is the way to acquire knowledge.



Thirdly, try to think in English and leave out mindtranslation. Not until you have done so can you be said to have a better command of spoken English.


Fourthly, do more reading to expand vocabulary and learn to use the new words in your speech as much as possible.


Lastly, don't get angry with yourself when you come across something you cannot express in English or the words you want to use suddenly escape your memory. This is unavoidable in the learning process. Just keep constant practice.For example, in CET-SET, a number of candidates failed the first time and after half a year's practice, they succeeded in the second round.


To sum up, just as the old proverb says ,Where there is a will, there is a way," so no one should convince himself that he can't do what other people have done. Erase the negative notion and maintain a positive attitude. Therein lies success.
By then you can communicate with the world.
