Mr. Grammar Can’t Speak English
One day I met a student. I knew
he had done well on his grammar test. I spoke with him in English of course.
But then I was surprised that he couldn’t speak English at all. I tried to ask
him the reason why he couldn’t speak English because his grammar is definetly
excellent. Then he didn’t give me the reasons.
I gave him some suggestions that we didn’t smart in English when we
didn’t English. We didn’t have to speak English fluently, but we must try over
and over and keep on in speaking English whenever and wherever we have chance.
I asked him once again why didn’t try to speak in English. Then he told me that
he keeps thinking about the grammar when he speaks, so he always thinks whether
this sentences is right or wrong grammatically before he says it. That’s why he
can’t speak at all in English.
When we learn English ofcourse
there are many subjects as Listening, Speaking, Reading
Learning English is not easy as
other subjects. When we learn English ofcourse we know that we learn two
things, the first we must learn the theory and the second one we must practice
it. To master English we must practice
and say it what we’ll do and we’ll want. For example from lowest matter as we
must say greeting when we meet our friend and so on.
Remember language does not
like math. In math, you just keep
silent, you count everything, you remember all the formulas and you can solve
the problem. You are an expert.
English totally different form
math. Nobody will know that you are an expert if you can’t speak at all,
eventhough you know a lot of grammar. A big part of language is speaking and
communicating, because language is a means to transfer between one to another.
Language is a means of
communication. People use language a s an instrument to form their thoughts,
emotions and activities. Language can
not be separated from human beings because it plays apart in every human beings
activities. Language is the most vital instrument for human life. Without
language no science can be taught and developed.
In communication the most
important thing is to make sure that your message is well accepted. You don’t
have to be Mr. Grammar in speaking. All you have to do is to build up your
vocabulary and do not think so much about grammar. The point is how to make
your message is well accepted by others.
You can also practice with
foreigner and I’m sure they will notice your grammar as long as they understand
what you say, eventhough your grammar is not good. I hope by doing this, you
will not be afraid to talk anymore and you will get more self confidence when
you speak.
However, this article is not
excuse to leave your grammar in a list. You still have to learn about it and
you have to master it so you will also be able to write. You are not only able
to speak, but also able to write.
My last sentence for you is don’t
be afraid of making a mistake in speaking, because the more you make mistakes,
you know and learn more about it. You must speak English in daily. You must try
to communicate with your teacher, friends or family at your home, because it
can help you to master English speaking.
