Improving spoken English requires consistent practice and effort.  Here are 10 tips to help you enhance your spoken English skills: 1. Immerse Yourself in English: Surround yourself with English as much as possible. Watch movies, TV shows, listen to podcasts, and read books in English. This exposure helps you get accustomed to the language's rhythm and intonation. 2. Speak Regularly: Practice speaking English every day, even if it's just a few minutes.

As a child, I grew up in fear mostly because of all the rules I had to follow in school and the punishment I would get if I were to break anyone of them. I belonged to the era when having dirty fingernails in school meant facing the pain of a wooden ruler hitting my defenseless tiny hands. To avoid this kind of punishment and embarrassment I learned to be a "good girl" following all the rules and taking things to heart. Proverbs posted above blackboards that were regularly replaced by new ones provided the guide with which we were to  strictly follow in order to remain "good". The manner in which I understood them then, was based on several factors but somehow these proverbs found its way of affecting my sense of worth and my view of the world. This hub speaks of how I understood these proverbs in my formative years, how I interpreted them in my growing years and how I redefined them in my journey to healing. The more I researched on the origin of the proverbs chos...

You may think the sign of a good manager is to have a department where everybody is busy at work on their assigned tasks. But if your people are merely doing their jobs, they’re only working at about half their potential. A truly productive department is one in which every employee is actively thinking of better, more efficient methods of working ways in which to produce a higher quality product, in less time, at lower cost. To get this kind of innovation from your people, you have to be receptive to new ideas; what's more, you have to encourage your people to produce new ideas. Incentives are one way to motivate employees to be more productive. You can offer a cash bonus, time off, or a gift. But a more potent form of motivation is simply the employee's knowled...

CBSE ADDA "I"  and  "me"  are both pronouns that we use to refer to ourselves. Use  "I"  when it is the subject of the verb, and use  "me"  when it is the object of the verb or follow a preposition  (with me, after us, etc) . Remember that "I"  is always written as a capital letter. People most often make mistakes using  "I"  and  "me"  when they are talking about more than one person. For example: My husband and  I  are going on vacation to Hawaii. ( correct ) My husband and  me  are going on vacation to Hawaii. ( incorrect ) Linda, Janet and  I  are friends. ( correct ) Linda, Janet and  me  are friends. ( incorrect ) You and  I  are having a dinner tonight. ( correct ) You and  me  are having a dinner tonight. ( incorrect ) My parents took my brother, sister, and  me  to the zoo every year when we were growing up. ( correct ) My paren...
