Hello people,
I know it's so much important for each one of us to be fluent in English. Holding a high degree but hesitation in speaking English often leads to rejections. So, the very first step towards the improvement of your verbal English is to go through the daily newspapers, magazines and other sources(in English). One must try to start the conversation in English. It might take some time to be fluent but trust me practice makes a man perfect. Do not hesitate while learning because it results in delays. Let the others mock and laugh because they too are learning something from your hard work. One must never give up. Start focusing on punctuations while speaking that means when you are interrogating, it should sound like a query, not like an affirmative sentence.
