Simple way to speak English faster

Practice thinking in English ​ Are you translating from your mother tongue to English when you speak? If yes, stop it right now. Start to think in English when you speak English. Lots of people can listen and understand 99% what the English speaker says but fail to express a simple thought because they can’t find the right words. That’s the reason why you have to think directly in English. Talk to yourself Needless to say, self-practice plays an important role in learning a foreign language. You need to prepare yourself first before you happen to talk with others in a foreign language. The more you practice, the more comfortable you’ll feel when using the language.

British English Words Vs American English Words.....

Image
English was introduced to what is modern day America in the 17 th  century by the British settlers. Since then the language has evolved and has been influenced by the many waves of immigration to the USA. The spelling of British English words were cemented by  Samuel Johnson  in what is considered to be one of the most famous dictionaries in the world. It took Johnson, and six helpers, just over eight years to curate the 40,000 words that appeared in  ‘ A Dictionary of the English Language ’ , which was publihsed in 1755. Similarly in America ‘ A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language ’ was first printed in 1806 and popularised the American English spellings that were being used instead of the British English spellings of words, such as color instead of colour. British English words ending in  ‘our’  usually end in  ‘or’  in American English: BRITISH US colour color flavour flavor humour...

Informal & Formal English words for daily use

Image
We use formal language  in situations that are serious or that involve people we don’t know well. Informal language is more commonly used in situations that are more relaxed and involve people we know well. Formal language is more common when we write; informal language is more common when we speak. However, there are times where writing can be very informal, for example, when writing postcards or letters to friends, emails or text messages. There are also examples where spoken English can be very formal, for example, in a speech or a lecture. Most uses of English are neutral; that is, they are neither formal nor informal. Formal language and informal language are associated with particular choices of grammar and vocabulary. Contractions, relative clauses without a relative pronoun and ellipsis are more common in informal language.

1. Drink coffee Coffee = weight loss. Is this the best news ever?

So sipping on your morning Americano is actually good for you and will help keep that tum trim. 2. Get enough Sleep It's true - lack of sleep does contribute to weight gain, so make sure you get your full eight hours a night. When our bodies don't get enough  sleep , cortisol (the stress hormone) levels increase, which tells your body to save energy and get you through the day.
