How do you improve your English speaking skills, so that you can communicate more easily and effectively? These tips will help you to become a more confident speaker.

Practice where you can and when you can. Any practice is good—whether you speak to someone who is a native English speaker or not.

It’s important to build your confidence. If possible, use simple sentence structure that you know is correct so that you can concentrate on getting your message across.

Try to experiment with the English you know. Apply words and phrases you know to new situations. Native English speakers are more likely to correct you if you use the wrong word than if you use the wrong grammar. Experimenting with vocabulary is a really good way of getting feedback(反馈).

Try to respond to what people say to you. You can often get clues to what people think by looking at their body language. Respond to them in a natural way.

Try not to translate into and from your own language. It takes too much time and you will find it difficult to get an English answer right away. You don’t know how to do well. The more you want to act well, the more slowly you act. This will make you more shilly-shally.

If you forget a word, do what native English speakers do all the time,and say things that ‘fill’ the conversation. This is better than remaining completely silent. Try using ‘um’,or ‘er’,if you forget the word.

Don't speak too fast! It’s important to use a natural rhythm in speaking English, but if you speak too fast it will be difficult for people to understand you.

Try to relax when you speak and you’ll find that your mouth does most of the pronunciation work for you. Speak English at normal speed.

Final tips

—Try to become less hesitant and more confident.

—Don’t be shy to speak—the more you do it, the more confident you’11 become.

—Remember to be polite—use "please" and "thank you" if you ask someone to do something for you.

What is a fair wage? 1. These are some of the questions the United Nations International Labour Organisation(ILO) has recently investigated.

With a global population of over seven billion, is it actually possible to measure an average amount?_ 2._ Using the total wage bill from over seventy countries, they have multiplied the amounts by the number of earners in each country. The economists then tallied up the results and divided them by the total number across the world The result was a world average wage equivalent to $1,490 a month. _3._

This figure might seem very high because they calculated the amount using purchasing power parity dollars, which takes into account the fact that it is cheaper to live in some countries than others. _4._

Calculating an average sum like this might not be a completely fair representation, but these figures do help us to understand how the world is developing, both economically, in the quality of life people are experiencing and their standard of living.

But the result shows that the average wage is still relatively low and there remains a huge difference in levels of affluence around the world. _5._ Is this fair? For many, pay equality still seems very far out of reach.

A. The ILO has now tried to work out the sums.

B. The ILO used statistics from over 70 different countries

C. Why aren't more people in the world offered pay equality?

D. That is approximately $75 a day for a 20-day working month.

E. Some people live on just two dollars a day, while others are earning more than a million dollars a year.

F. When someone works for themselves, what are they called?

G. The data also did not include the huge number of people who appear in poverty statistics or who are self-employed.
