The ability to express yourself competently lies not only in the lexical combination of words and the correct placement of stress. It is necessary to learn how to distinguish the main thing from a large amount of information.
Imagine that you are watching an interesting TV show that your friends have been telling you so enthusiastically. After the tenth episode, the most interesting begins, and the producer, as luck would have it, stretched this moment and hid the climax behind a bunch of unnecessary details. After a few more episodes, you quit watching and switch to a more informative motion picture.
This is the case with speech. Opponents are not interested in listening to a story with a mass of minute details. The story should be concise, logically connected. Boredom pushes people away and kills interest.
Step # 2. Increase your vocabulary
Refuse to use those words, the meaning of which you do not understand. An explanatory dictionary will help to expand the area of knowledge in terms of Russian speech. If you do not know the meaning of foreign words, refer to the World Wide Web. Such actions not only help to express themselves in different ways, but also contribute to infusion into different segments of the population. After a month of regular practice, you will be able to find a common language with teachers, dancers and professors. Get in the habit of learning the meaning of 3-4 words a day. It is important to learn, understand and remember the aspects learned.
Exclude words that do not carry any meaning. These include "not the month of May." May is a specific period called a month. It cannot be a year or an hour. Also, common examples that do not represent separate information are considered to be "step back", "lift up", etc.
Step # 4. Retell the information received
Psychologists advise standing in front of a mirror and talking to a reflection. Of course, it makes sense to try this technique. But there is another way that a person can learn literacy. Once a week, gather your friends together (at least 4-5 people) and retell them the previously acquired knowledge. Have you seen an interesting movie? Highlight the essence and try to present the plot in an interesting, concise manner, without unnecessary preludes.
Watch the public's reaction. If listeners yawn, drop their eyes, or ask questions that are not relevant, they are bored. In this case, you have 2 ways out: to analyze on your own what exactly you did wrong, or to contact your opponents directly. A common mistake of newly minted "retellingists" is the excessive use of pronouns instead of calling heroes by their first names.
Step # 5. Avoid tautology
A tautology is a figure of speech when the speaker uses words that are close in meaning or with the same root. These phrases are difficult to read and should be avoided. An example of a tautology can be considered "oil oil" or "a similar analogue". Remember, this rule is fundamental to competent speech.
To learn how to choose the right words, you can follow the announcers on radio or TV, and then analyze their mistakes. People who have main jobs should look at remote article writing activities. Copywriting forces you to select words that are the same in meaning, but different in pronunciation.
Step 6. read books
Classical literature is rightfully considered a model of artistic speech. Unconsciously, you will begin to adopt words and expressions from books that are ideal for a particular situation. Don't rely on reading for 15 minutes every day to make your speech literate. This process must be allocated at least 2-4 hours a day.
After a month, the information you read will make itself felt, you will no longer experience difficulties in choosing words and constructing sentences. People who learn through the development of fiction are called well-read. This is due to the fact that a person begins to express himself in words that were once learned, learned at the subconscious level.
