After the CoVID 19 pandemic became widespread, have you ever been to a party?

When was the last time that you attended one such party?

What do you recall about it?

Now, whenever you are asked these types of questions in the English language regarding a party, you can quickly answer them.

Now you’ll learn some English phrases and idioms used to describe a party or any such event.

Party phrases and vocabulary

Before we read the idioms, let’s get our vocabulary straight: here are some common questions and phrases in the English language associated with partying.

Questions which you often hear at parties

• How was the party?
• How was the atmosphere?
• How was the music?
• Did you meet anybody new there?
• How was the décor?

We are considering some ways to answer all these questions using modern, conversational English words.

But before that, let’s see the activities commonly done at a party.

Phrases describing what to do at a party

• Attend parties
• Have a couple of drinks
• Dance all night long

English Party Idioms

Along with the phrases, we also use a few idioms to describe parties:

Have a whale of a time

This idiom genuinely means “have a great time at the event or enjoy yourself thoroughly. For example, I had a whale of a time at Naira’s birthday party.

The life of the party

We use this idiom to describe someone who is the most entertaining person at any party. For example, She’s always been the life of the party.

There is another version of the same idiom, which is “soul of the party,” which means the same thing: someone who always has a wild/crazy time.

And do you know what the opposite of both the idioms, as mentioned earlier, is?

That’s a party pooper: it is known as someone who saps the fun energy of a party or brings everyone down.

Throw a party

This means to organize and host a party or an event.

For example, Viren and Shalini are throwing a party this weekend.

Billy-no-mates / Norma no-mates

This phrase is used to describe a male (called “Billy”) or a female (called “Norma”) who has few or no friends. The idiom is British slang.

For example, I didn’t want to look like Billy-no-mates, so I took Pratik with me.

A social butterfly

It is used to describe an outgoing social person and an extrovert.

These people generally have a lot of friends and are mostly attending parties and events.

For example, Mrs. Raji is a social butterfly. She is invited to all the society kitty parties.

Ann Landers – “At every party, there are two types of people; those who want to go home and sleep, and those who don’t. The problem is that they are usually married to each other.”

Conclusion

Now, you know the idioms and phrases you’ll need to describe parties or events in the English language.

So, are you planning to attend a party anytime soon?

Let us know in the comments below!

Confidence is a realistic feeling of being sure and thinking what you are doing is right gracefully.

Are failures important?

Are successes important?

Focusing more on successes and less on failures can boost self-confidence.

Confidence can be innate or inborn, but it flourishes and deepens the meaning of confidence in your life over days and time. Confidence might come and go.

Someday you might be way too confident, and somedays, you’ll feel drained.

Feeling the essence of confidence is more important than being confident.

One way to realize this is that confidence is like building up a part of your muscle — the more you work hard on it, the easier it will become.

There might be days when you know the answer, but you don’t have the confidence to say it aloud. This causes a turmoil of stress or anxiety and also some heavy flow of hormones in your body.

It is very much normal to face them but making it a habit can pull you down somewhere.

Confidence is not something that you’d achieve in a day or two, it is a practice where relaxation is important as well as knowing yourself like the weaknesses and strengths.

Confidence can make you feel very strong both from outside and inside, with peace and happiness. Because in the end, it is only you who is going through that roller coaster phase.

So here we come,

WHAT IS SELF-CONFIDENCE?

A person develops confidence when they believe they can successfully do something by their proper judgment, knowledge, and past experiences.

For example, if You’re sitting for a job interview, it’s natural to be nervous and feel anxious, but the feeling of impressing people on the other side of the seat is important.

Okay, let me ask you to think about a situation,

Imagine or think of a time when you felt extremely confident in any scope of work?

Did you feel that electricity in your body? That adrenaline rush? That sense of conquering the world?

You know self-confidence can bring so much goodness to you. Self-confidence does a lot and plays a significant role in our life. It boosts our self-esteem, tones down stress, and often pushes us to do better. But most importantly, it makes us feel upright about ourselves.

How can self-confidence impact your life?

Your happiness and self-esteem will increase: What is self-esteem?

Self-esteem is one’s evaluation of worth and value.

So, self-esteem and self-confidence are not the same but are closely related. Your self-esteem and confidence increase when you believe in your talents, capabilities, worth, and potential.

Self-esteem increases when you believe you’re worthy and capable of fulfilling your desires and dreams—accepting your failure and making that your power tool for success.

So if you feel good about yourself and your decisions in life, you’ll be happier than ever, which increases your self-esteem and confidence.

• You’ll feel more motivated to act:

If someone is confident in any particular field of work, they are more likely to take responsibility to complete a task than someone less confident.

If you’re confident in your abilities, you will feel more motivated, and also the people you’re working with will also want to trust you more.

This takes us to our next section:

• People will trust you:

When you are confident in your abilities, people are likely to listen to you, trust you, and follow you.

You’re working on a group project, and one had to be a leader.

Person A says, “I know I can and will work hard for this group, plus I got better ideas.

Person B says, “I don’t really like leadership roles, but I could try if you all want me to.”

So here we take a look at two different people. We would work with person A

anytime because he seems more confident and convincing.

If you are confident, you’re more likely to be followed and looked up to.

Many ways you can build your confidence:

• Knowing yourself: Get to know yourself, meaning knowing your strengths and weaknesses and accepting them not as imperfections but as something to improve.

• Be prepared: When you are ready to do something, you’re more confident in accomplishing a task successfully.

• Stay positive: Positivity is a key component of building self-confidence. It keeps you from beating yourself up after a setback or mistake.

• Knowing the worth: Know what is actually making you feel less confident, and work towards it. Focus on the variable and know-how that variable can add to your life because once you start getting the right responses from that worthy variable, you feel happy and good about working towards it.

• Body language: sitting upright, with a smile on your face, that positive energy around like you own the entire property, and also moving your hands freely, and eye contact make you feel confident.

Don’t we say fake it till you make it?

That is exactly what am saying; let the world know you’re a serious competitor and very proud of your work. If the world knows it, you will get half of your confidence.

In the end, I’d like to conclude that, Self-confidence is not always that easy to achieve, but it’s something that everyone deserves to experience.

It is something that everyone should know how it feels to be confident.

Do you know how fuel works? Although it eases your travel, you’ll need people who inspire you to get that fuel.

There are several reasons why confidence is very important in our professional lives and in our daily lives.

To sum up everything, it affects your happiness, self-worth, and self-esteem. Most importantly, SELF.

Try being the best version of yourself every single day, but don’t forget to love yourself.

Do you find yourself struggling to learn English despite spending hours with Wren and Martin? Do you still feel like you can’t speak English fluently? Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered! 

Learning English is similar to driving a car; you only learn by ACTUALLY doing it.

Try to immerse yourself in all things English- read books, talk to people, watch English shows, listen to podcasts, ENJOY the learning process, and you will reach your destination in no time!

Read on to learn about five simple and effective ways to learn and improve your English skills.

Tip #1 – Practice Everyday

Neurons that fire together, wire together.

If you study English all day today and then stay aloof for the following week, it won’t help. Your brain is likely to consider whatever you’ve studied unimportant and flush it out. The key to avoiding this is to keep repeating what you’ve learned, speak it out loud and use it in your daily discourse. 

Commit 30 minutes of your schedule and find something new to learn daily. For example:

• Read the daily newspaper headlines or subscribe to a magazine of your choice.
• Download any “word of the day” app and try to use the new word at least once during the day (and keep repeating!)
• You can make it a habit to listen to English podcasts while traveling or exercising, or even while cooking food.
• Pick a book that you like and try to read it for 10 minutes before your bedtime. This small effort, if done consistently, can go a long way in helping you improve your English!

Tip #2 – LISTEN MORE

Learning begins with listening

You never know whether you’re pronouncing a word correctly simply by reading it. Listening more helps you grasp the nuances of the English language as well as its pronunciation.

• Listen actively. Try listening to English podcasts, songs or the daily radio, and see how much you understand. 
• Your next favorite movie is just a click away- explore new movies and TV shows and watch them with subtitles. Try to speak a new word out loud, note it down somewhere, and revisit it later. This will not only help you remember the word but also know its correct pronunciation.
• Try to retain what you’ve heard by summarising it in simple words. 

Tip #3 – READ, SPEAK, WRITE, REPEAT

While listening is a critical skill that will help you learn English, it is essential to put whatever you’ve heard to practical use too. A perfect blend of reading, writing, listening, and speaking will put you way ahead on your path. How will you achieve this?

• By talking to a lot of people. Converse with people, talk to strangers in English and leave NO opportunity to hone your skills.
• If you’re worried about sentence formation or pronunciation, try recording yourself and then look for errors. Now that you’re aware, you’ll be conscious enough to reduce that mistake the next time you speak.
• How can you use “beautiful” as an adverb? That’s right- beautifully. When you encounter an unusual word, try to think of all the different forms you can use it in.
• Try to guess the meaning of words by the context of the sentence. For example, “She was perplexed about whether to choose Arts or Science for her career.”

In this sentence, you might have guessed that the word perplexed has something to do with being confused or worried. See? Try not to rush for the dictionary and figure out the meaning of words from their context while reading.

• Send emails to your friends and family, keep a daily journal to vent your heart out, read aloud, write a blog, make flashcards- do anything that helps you immerse yourself in the world of English.

Tip #4 – MAKE LEARNING FUN

It is tough to learn something if it’s not fun. Decide what works best for you and do just that!

• If you can’t sit at a place for long and study, try listening to podcasts while you’re riding to work or walking.
• If books seem dull to you, watch a movie or TV show in English! Thanks to the internet, we have various topics to choose from- all just a click away. Binge your favorite English rom-com or thriller, and remember to listen carefully for new words and phrases. 
• If solitary learning does not work for you, talk to your friends and family in English. A conversation in English is your ultimate test- the more you speak, the better you will become.
• Blend English with something you love- if you’re fond of cooking, watch MasterChef in English instead of your native language; if you like studying history, read more books on that in English.

Tip #5 – BE CONFIDENT AND CURIOUS

There is no end to learning a language. If you feel like leaving the process mid-way because it is too complicated or because you’re making many mistakes, don’t give up just yet. Be curious; look for English wherever you go.

Read menus, billboards, nutritional facts at the back of your chips packet- ANYTHING that you can get your hands on. Be confident and practice regularly; you will be sure to master English in no time!

Need more tips on improving your English fluency? Check out our new blog post on 7 Time-tested tips to improve your English quickly.

Do you understand English but struggle to speak? 

You can write well in English but find it hard to speak? 

Yes, today, I’ll reveal the #1 reason that’s stopping you from becoming a confident and fluent English speaker. 

Plus, I will provide you with 100% practical tips which you can use immediately to sharpen your English speaking skills. 

Stay tuned! 

The #1 Reason You’re Struggling To Speak English Fluently

It is because of lack of practice. Yes, you read it right. 

Currently, you’re not speaking English enough in your day-to-day activities. 

As a result, you can understand English but cannot speak fluently. 

When you listen to a lot of English content, your mind automatically starts grasping things. This is why you have no trouble understanding English.

Many of us studied in an English-medium school wherein we read and write English but don’t speak. 

Speaking English or any language is a two-way process. In other words, you can’t talk passively while we can listen passively. 

English is like riding a bike. You can learn only when you practically go and try to ride the bike. 

You can’t ride a bike just by reading theory, can you?

When you want to speak English, you have to think before speaking. But in your case, you haven’t trained your tongue to speak English words and phrases. 

To train your tongue, you need to speak daily. Now, I am going to share 100% actionable tips which you can use to practice effectively. 

Build a Habit of speaking English daily

There’s a saying, “Humans are creatures of habit and routine.” 

“It takes at least 21 days to build a habit.” 

To make your learning process super easy, we recommend you make it a habit to speak English daily. 

Right now, you don’t speak English much. That is also a habit of NOT using English in your daily life. 🙂 

You just need to replace this habit by making incremental changes in your life. 

Start using stylish phrases and words. Have small self-talk. You can write down your thoughts and read them aloud. 

These micro-actions will lead to macro transformation. 

Once you develop the habit of speaking English every day, you will not feel like you’re learning or you’re putting in efforts. 

We feel learning should be effortless, especially when it comes to mastering the English language or anything. 

There’s a saying, “Learning never exhausts the mind.” — Leonardo da Vinci

Now, let me tell you about a powerful practice hack that anyone can use:

You don’t need any English partner to practice. You don’t have to join expensive live classes. 

And it’s super easy. All you have to do is

Post speeches on a TOPIC daily 

You can post speeches in a closed Facebook community group. 

Don’t worry; your Facebook friends can’t see the group activities. 

Our students use this simple technique to improve their English fluency. 

Here’s what you need to do: 

Step 1:  Join a like-minded Facebook community. You can join our Public Speaking Challenge group. All our groups are private. Only members can see group activities. 

Step 2: Pick a topic that you can talk about. It could be cooking,  gardening or anything you like. 

Step 3: Do a little bit of research around that topic, so you’ll have some idea what to speak about. In this process, you will also enhance your word power. 🙂 You can hit two targets with one arrow! 

You may start by posting speeches on the following topics: 

• Introduce yourself in the group
• Why do you want to improve your English fluency? 
• What’s the biggest problem you face when it comes to speaking in English? 
• What was your favourite subject in high school and WHY?  

Practice speaking difficult words

Many times we just practice simple and easy words which we already know and can speak effortlessly. 

Find out which words and phrases make you fumble and practice saying them aloud.

So next time, you can save yourself from embarrassment or fumbling.  

You can practice tongue twisters as well. This will train your tongue to speak difficult words. 

Here are some tongue twisters: 

• Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?

Sounds/words stressed: p

• She saw Sharif’s shoes on the sofa. But was she so sure those were Sharif’s shoes she saw?

Sounds/words stressed: s & sh

• Drew Dodd’s dad’s dog’s dead. 

Sounds/words stressed: d

• A pessimistic pest exists amidst us.

Sounds/words stressed: s & t

Brush up your basic grammar and spelling skills

In our mentorship programme, we often find that our students need to brush up on their basics such as tenses, spelling, etc.

If you understand English but are struggling to speak, it’s time to revise the things you already know. 

We encourage this in all the students who join our training programmes.

I see many people who know English well but make prevalent mistakes. For example, using the second form of the verb with “Did.” 

Did in itself is a second form; you do not need to use the verb’s second form along with it. 🙂  

You got the gist of it?  

Stop making common mistakes by working on basic English.

Don’t focus too much on learning Grammar.

I see a lot of Indian people focus too much on learning grammar and vocabulary. 

You should learn grammar, but initially, you just need to FOCUS on the speaking aspect. 

The goal here is to start speaking ready-made phrases and stylish sentences. 

As you move forward in your journey,  you can start learning grammar and get into the technical aspect of the English language. 

Initially, become a copycat just like a child does. You will see your English fluency is improving rapidly when doing so. 

Make English your second nature.

I see many people try to speak English by translating. There’s nothing wrong with that. 

However, translating makes it difficult for you to speak fluent English. 

Translating takes time. It is essential that you think in English and then speak. 

To make English your second nature, listen to English content. You can listen to audiobooks, podcasts and watch English movies (if you like). 

Then use your learnings wherever you can. If you can do this, eventually, English will become your second nature. 

After that, you will not have to be conscious to speak fluent English. You can speak English just like your native language. 

Reaching this point may take some time and effort, but it’ll be worth it!

You can unlock many new opportunities in your life by improving your English fluency.  

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it normal to understand a language but can’t speak it? 

Yes, it is completely normal. When you listen to a language a lot, your mind can understand that language but can’t speak it fluently.   

Especially in India, we study in English-medium schools. We learn how to read and write English but we don’t focus on speaking. 

Is Speaking English Difficult? 

No, it’s not. Once you know the basics of English and can understand it well, it is super easy to speak fluent English just like your native language. 

Why do I struggle with words? 

You’re not learning new vocabulary. Even if you learn 1 to 2 new words and practice them daily, your word power will increase rapidly. 

It’s all about consistent learning.  

Why am I better at writing than speaking?  

It is because of our conditioning. In schools and colleges, we were taught to read and write, not speak.  

Naturally, your writing ability becomes better than speaking. 

How can I improve my English fluency?   

You just need to focus on two things: 

1. Listening 
2. Speaking

That’s it. 

If you’re listening or reading, you might not be using English in your day to day activities. 

Active listening will improve your word power, too.  

You’ll be able to understand English better. You can effortlessly talk to native English speakers. 

Listening is very important. 

Conclusion  

Speaking fluent English requires a bit of effort and patience. Now, you know the reason why you understand English but can’t speak. 

If you apply the tips given in this guide, you’ll see positive results within a few weeks.

Do you want to overcome your fear of speaking in front of people? 

If yes, this guide is for you. I have created this post based on years of experience and after doing tons of research. You will certainly find it useful. 

So let’s get started. 

Tip #1: Do NOT just speak, speak, speak

Weird right? 

I come across a lot of sites and people that just tell you to speak, speak and speak to enhance your English Speaking Skills. In reality, that’s not very effective. 

You’ll just waste time speaking the wrong way. 

Here’s what you should do instead: 

Learn the right things. For example, read a book or an article on the Internet.

As a result of this practice, you might have learnt new sentences. Now, speak those sentences as it is. 

If you use this method, you don’t have to use your brain. Just copy and speak initially. Later when your vocabulary power increases you can add variations while speaking. 🙂 

Initially, don’t spend much time learning grammar if you want to enhance your English fluency QUICKLY. 

Just observe what native or good English speakers use and utter the same sentences and words. 

The goal here is to speak correctly, in the right manner. 🙂 

Simple, huh? 

Learning English should be fun and interesting, it should NOT be boring. 

Pro tip: Identify the words that you cannot pronounce properly. Then use Google or other applications to correct your pronunciation. Try to read difficult words 3 – 4 times. After that, use those words and form sentences. Within days you’ll see results. Try it today! 

Let’s move on to tip no. 2 which is

Tip #2: Listen to native English speakers a lot

To improve your English fluency, you don’t have to learn grammar from day one. 

If you just focus on the listening aspect, you’ll notice your ability to grasp new words or slang dramatically improves. 

Why? 

Because we learned our native language (mother tongue) by listening to our family and surroundings. We can easily communicate in those languages, right?

Listening is a powerful & interesting way to improve English fluency. 

Here’s a common problem you might face at the beginning:

When you start listening to native English speakers, you’ll face difficulty in grasping their words and sentences. 

However, if you keep on listening, you’ll begin to understand their speaking mannerisms and words. 

Note: British, Australian and New Zealand English speakers’ accents are a bit hard to understand if you’re a beginner. 

I would suggest listening to American and Canadian English speakers at the start. It’ll be much easier for you to understand their conversations and improve your English fluency.

Pro tip: Listen to any video or audiobook based on your favorite topic. You’ll enjoy listening and learn better as well. When I started, my favourite topics were related to self-help; like productivity, growth mindset, law of attraction, etc. 

I love listening and talking about those subjects. So choose your favorite subject today and head on YouTube/Spotify and start listening to good English speakers. 

Tip #3: Start Writing to THINK Better in English

You might be like, now I gotta write? No way! 

And chances are you might have already started giving excuses like: 

I don’t know how to write. 

I hate writing. 

I failed my English exam. 

And many more. 

But let me tell you a “secret” to get started with writing. 

To start writing, you don’t have to use complex words and slang. 

Just pen down your thoughts in plain English, similar to what you’re reading now. 

Plus, nobody is going to read your writings until you share it. 😉 

In today’s time, anybody can become a writer even with basic English. 

All you need to have is willingness to learn daily. 

Okay. Enough lecture on writing. 

You might be wondering, how can writing help me in improving my English fluency? 

When we write, we have to think. The more you think, the better your ability to think spontaneously becomes. 

The best part is, writing is a type of one-way communication. When we are speaking, it is two-way communication. You have to think, then speak.  

When you’re writing, you’re just thinking and using your hands to type the words. 

Here things become exciting, once your thinking ability improves, you can speak better English and form better sentences with little effort. 🙂 

Isn’t it amazing? 

To become a fluent English speaker, you need TWO main ingredients: listening and thinking. 

Do you know we have already covered 3 TIPS and we are heading towards the fourth tip?  

Tip #4: Begin small talk with yourself

This tip is very powerful, and will save you from a lot of embarrassment too.

When you learn new things, try making small talk using that and speak to yourself. Eventually, your mind gets used to it. 

We fumble when we try to speak a new word or slang without practice. 

These small self-talks will prepare your mind and tongue to think and speak respectively. 

Without daily  practice, if you try to speak English in front of anyone, you’re bound to face embarrassment. 

The key is to practice small, DAILY. Use the self-talk method from today. 

For example, 

Today I woke up at 7:00 o’clock in the morning. I am feeling energetic and fresh. I am excited to continue my work or studies. I learned new things about the human brain and how it works. I read a few pages of my new novel that I bought last month and forgot to read. 

You get the idea, right? 

You can create small-talks on anything. You can create small-talks on your daily routine, your favorite books, shows and movies.   

When you try the “Small-talk method” for 7 days, you’ll see amazing results. 

Tip #5: REPETITION is key to becoming a fluent English speaker

Want to speak difficult words or sentences without stammering? 

Then start repeating the things that you’ve already learned. 

Why? 

Our mind cannot learn new things 100% for the first time. You would have to repeat the same thing 3 – 4 times, especially the difficult terms. 

When you repeat stylish English phrases and words again & again, it will become your second nature. That’s the secret sauce to speaking better English. 

Start repeating what you are learning. 

Pro tip: Repeat those concepts and words which you find difficult to remember or speak. Got it? 

Tip #6: Test your English speaking ability

Learning is not enough. You have to test yourself to know how much you’ve learnt. 

By this I mean that it’s time to speak in English with people. 

If you apply this tip, you’ll save yourself from embarrassment. 

Join a like-minded Facebook community. 

Find a speaking partner who also wants to improve their English fluency. 

Speak with that person. You can record your session as well for identifying your mistakes. 

Moreover, you won’t feel nervous as you know the other person won’t make fun of you. 

Many times we know a lot of things but we cannot express our thoughts because of FEAR.

This powerful tip will vanish your hesitation of speaking in English with people. 

We are heading towards our final tip.  It is not a tip. It’s more of an advice based on my experience. 🙂 

Want to know what it is? 

Tip #7: Don’t Treat English as a Subject 

Most Indian schools and colleges treat English like a boring subject. 

This is why students start feeling like English is a burden for them.

In reality, nobody teaches us why we need to learn English. 

In schools and colleges, we learn English for the sake of good grades. 

In reality, if you want good grades in life (in other words, if you want to succeed in life), you NEED to know English, especially in India. 

Here’s a fact. According to Wikipedia, India is the second largest English-speaking country. 

The first one is, of course, the United States. 

Be it for business deals or making friends, cracking interviews or understanding international content, it becomes essential for Indians to speak in English.

According to research, it is predicted that India will be the largest English speaking country in the future. 

Whether you want to get a job in a multinational company, or want to do a startup, you need to know English (exceptions are always there).

Here, I am only talking about the majority of cases where we need to know English. 

Treat English as a language and learn with a motive- that you’ll be able to communicate with a global audience if you speak in English. 

Learn English with excitement and enjoy the process. 

Pro tip: In the beginning you may find learning English is difficult. But believe me, if you continue learning, English will become a piece of cake for you. Never give up. Take breaks, but don’t ever give up.

Cheers, 

Team Abhishek 

Writing is a beautiful form of expressing your thoughts without conversing.

It’s okay not to be perfect when writing anything personal, i.e., your daily journal. You can portray your emotions without giving a second thought, the way you want them.

But if you are thinking of making a living as a writer, then you need to improve them to a level.

That’s true that you can start writing as a carrier without any investment. Although you need to enhance them.

Now, this goes without a saying that practise makes a man perfect. You can’t ace anything without practising.

If you are reading this article, that means you are already writing. From writing, I don’t expect — blogs or articles.

Most of the time, you don’t realize, but you write, such as writing emails or posting on your social media handle.

You need to brush up your skills and modify them. Don’t worry, we have some helpful tips that will help you if applied. Let’s start.

Keep Your Concepts Clear 

Now think that whatever you have written or wondered about writing. Can you explain that to anyone without any issues?

Try to explain it to yourself, and if you think that your inner self is convinced, you can take forward your ideas.

As long as you keep your concepts sorted, you are on the right path. If your notion is organized, it will be much easier to put them on the paper.

Analyse Your Work As A Reader 

Try to scrutinize the content as a reader. Question yourself, if you were the reader, is this content enough to hook you till the end? Be honest with yourself. And for that, there are specific vital steps or ways. 

• Evaluate your target audience. Choose the words according to your targeted audience. If your audience involves such a person who is not pro in English or in the niche you are writing. Then you need to choose simple to moderate words.
• Put yourself on the reader’s shoes. Think as if you have visited the website, and you are for something that you have been searching for. Does the article satisfy you? 

Outline The Content 

If you have a lot of ideas and think that your work is going to be a complex one.

It would be better to make the outline and make a plan for your idea. It doesn’t have to be the perfect one. 

You can make a scrap version of your write-up. All you have to do is get them on paper to arrange those complex ideas and turn your write-up into a masterpiece.

Avoid Over Explaining Things

 If you have given your time to the content, you should be able to keep things lucid.

You must write content in a way that it’s easily understandable by the readers. 

If you bombard your reader with excessive details, the reader won’t be able to absorb things. Eventually, he will press the back button and will be gone from your website. So give your readers one value at a time.

No shortcuts – Practice is the key

There is no shortcut for you to improve your skill. Practice every day. Choose the topic and just start writing. 

Include this into your daily schedule. This will help you enhance your ability for every topic and give you experience in every niche.

In today’s world, where communication skill is the pillar of one’s personality, from perceiving education to cracking a job interview and working for progress, public speaking is one of the most important building blocks of this pillar.

Public speaking is an act of delivering speeches and giving presentations effectively before a group of listeners for various purposes such as education, entertainment, business, etc.

But when asked, most of the people will probably say that they cannot speak in front of a large audience.

People who might be extremely good at one to one communication might not be able to communicate properly when it comes to addressing the same information to a crowd.

They may be afraid of it or be an introvert. Because of this, they try to avoid occasions where they have to speak publicly, which is not a feasible solution every time.

If you’re one of those people who avoid public speaking, then here are 5 best tips which will help you to conquer your fear of public speaking!

Tip 1: Get rid of mental pressures

Often people get too nervous before delivering a speech and that leads to a not good performance.

Therefore one needs to relax him/herself and get rid of the anxiety and mental pressures that bring in the fear of speaking before the audience. 

The main outcome of relaxing yourself should be normalizing your heart rate, concentration on breathing and focus on the content, not the fear of delivering it.

There are many ways to do so:

• Taking deep breaths: Often people tend to feel fastened heartbeats and slight shivering or trembling of their body when they get nervous. One might also experience tightened muscles as well. Taking deep breaths lets the oxygen flow throughout and relaxes the body. 
• Smile: Smiling increases endorphins, which helps in reducing anxiety and makes you feel better. Smiling also shows that you are confident enough and that you feel pleasure in interacting with the crowd.
• Drink Water: Anxiety can lead to a dry mouth, making you look tired and exhausted. Just drink water and make yourself comfortable with the situation.

Tip 2: Focus on communicating not performing

Your focus while delivering the content should be communicating your ideas as effectively as possible and not thinking about how the audience will judge you because the sole purpose of speaking in front of the crowd is to let your idea reach each and every person listening to it in an efficient manner. 

And thinking about your performance or the judgement of others might distract you and even lower your confidence.

It will affect your speech/presentation further in many negative ways.

So, just stick to the content you tend to deliver and focus on expressing the ideas effectively.

Tip 3: Experience is the biggest teacher

Your skill of public speaking will enhance as much as your experiences will increase.

You need to seek more and more opportunities to speak in front of crowds.

As the number of experiences increase, you will slowly notice a sense of confidence rising in yourself. 

Analyse the pros and cons every time you are done with a speaking session.

Try to learn something after seeking every such opportunity. This will help you to improve with every performance. 

Tip 4: Prepare for it

Preparing for the speech/presentation beforehand helps a lot to reduce stress and improve the quality of delivering ideas.

Being prepared is knowing what you want to speak and how you want to speak it. 

If time permits, you can even try rehearsing your lines in front of a mirror, so that you are least worried about how you look while speaking.

You will also be assured of not forgetting your lines or missing the direction of speech.

This will help you to be more confident and stable in mind.

Tip 5: Positive Visualization

Thinking negatively of oneself will always make the task of improving the public speaking ability, an impossible one!

It does not mean that you should get over-confident or think of something that is just not close to reality or meaningless. 

If you think that you are not a good public speaker, you can change it to be a positive statement by saying that you can be one if you try.

Be practical, accept yourself as a learner, neither too good nor too bad and trust yourself.

You cannot become a great public speaker overnight, but if you fear to initiate, it would be impossible to become one ever!

ALL THE BEST!!! 

Every person differs, and with that, their thoughts, opinions differ as well. We all have our own sense of agreement and disagreement. 

Whenever we are in the middle of the discussion, it’s nearly impossible for everyone to agree on a thing.

Be it the corporate world or group of friends’ opinions vary.

We begin by justifying our views and end up with an argument. We don’t want to compromise our views most of the time since we feel that we are accurate, and the opposite person is not.

We forget that this is not a debate; it’s just a mere discussion, and we continue justifying ourselves.

We all struggle here, now how are we supposed to carry a peaceful conversation without hurting the feelings of anyone.

Let us know some tips that can be helpful for you if followed.

Focus on facts

Most people convey this mistake, they just jump into the argument without even thinking about their statements that they are going to give on their support. 

They don’t have any concrete proofs that can actually support their articulation. Your simple opinion is futile.

They won’t care about your opinion if they don’t find any rationality in it.

So, to bring rationality in your words, you need to focus on your firm recitation.

Logic is essential if you want to convince the person that your statement is valid.

But the issue is that in the middle of the disagreement, remembering facts is not feasible.

So, whenever you are in the middle of an argument, try to keep yourself calm so that your brain can process the information.

Try not to Take Anything Personally

When you are in a professional environment and if you have a disagreement upon anything.

Try not to think personally over the opinions.

The problem with taking things personally is that, when you get attached to any opinion or statement personally, then a minor comment against that will affect you a lot. 

Your mind won’t be able to reason why this person is against that thing. What made him think like that? 

You will straight attack the person with numerous evidence that will support your opinion, and you will try your best to outshine the opposite person.

This won’t help you and will negatively impact the person you are arguing as well as the audience watching. 

Listen Calmly and Behave Gallantly 

Now, the moment we get to know that the person with whom we are talking has a different opinion or views, we just block our ears.

We just stop hearing what he is saying, or is there any chance of reasonability in his words. 

You start speaking in the middle, contradicting their belief.

Avoid this, instead, listen to them carefully; maybe you will find some logic or rationalism in their point.

Don’t always look for winning the argument by speaking or boasting over the facts.

You may not win the argument, but by listening peacefully, you will win the hearts of the people and remain in their good books.

Look for Something Fruitful in the Argument.

Whenever you are in a disagreement, you just jump to the conclusion that he is not agreeing, and you are against that.

Try to listen to the discussion and find something useful in that.

You can take that one point and discuss it further regarding that. 

This will ease the tension, and when you get that value from the person, you can use it in your justification.

When a person is of the opposite opinion, it doesn’t mean that he has no value, and he is just blabbering.

When you find something valuable in that dispute, it will add more value to your own knowledge. 

Avoid Further Arguments

Generally, what happens during a debate that one statement leads to another, and this way, the argument continues.

If you are confident that you are right, you don’t need to provide proof or shreds of evidence regarding that. You can’t expect that you will able to claim yourself right each and every time.

There will be a time when you will feel that you can’t take it anymore, and you will raise your hands in compromise.

Gradually, you will realize that you are just wasting your precious time and calories over a useless person.

The greater the argument will be, the less will be your inner peace.
