I was working with Bank of America and now a tuition teacher

Formal language is less personal than informal language. It is used when writing for professional or academic purposes like university assignments. Formal language does not use colloquialisms, contractions or first person pronouns such as 'I' or 'We'. Informal language is more casual and spontaneous.

How can I improve my vocabulary, spoken English and stage fear? I cannot speak fluently. When I present in front of the crowd, I feel nervous and empty minded. I am introvert always. I like to remain silent. Any suggestion?
If you have any friend speaking in eng, start with him first, initially adhering to 15 min. The flaw in speaking into the crowd will only come when you are foresure that you are fluent in speaking.
