VOCABULARY & COLLOCATIONS
The importance of speaking aloud when
you want to learn to speak English.
It's a very simple idea: the more you speak English, the better will your English be and the sooner will you become fluent in speaking English. Whether the sentence or phrase is long or short, doesn't matter. If the sentence or phrase is small, say it. If it is big or long, say it. You have to say it aloud. This means you should be able to hear your voice. Reading silently will not help you at all. So, please open your mouth and speak.Most of the collocations in this lesson are very small but you should not think that just because they are small, they are not important. Trust me when I tell you, all of them are very useful.
You will need to use them all the time. In fact, you will use most of them almost every day.
Let's look at a few of these collocations and see how they will help us improve our spoken English. The first phrase we have in the list is - this is my... . This means in Hindi-Urdu - yeh mera ______ hai. Of course, in the blank space, you will say a noun or a noun phrase. For example, you might need to say,"Yeh meri kitaab hai." You will say in English,"This is my book." If you want to say,"Yeh meri kitaaben hain." you should say, "These are my books."
If you want to say,"Yeh meri college ki kitaaben hain." you should say, "These are my college books." Other examples can be, "This is my brother." "That's my elder brother."
Someone has come to your office and you are giving them a cheque - "This is your cheque."
If there are a few bills to be given, you will say, "These are your bills."
So you see, these small collocations are very useful. We must practise them well so that when we need to use them, they should come readily to our lips and we should sound proper when we speak them.
