Practice makes your oral English perfect

Practice makes your oral English perfect
DBE, JP President, English Speaking Union (Hong Kong)　Dr. Rosanna Wong

Learning another language never did anyone any harm. Quite the opposite! As for English, we all know that English is the world's language. One of the most exciting things about English is that it has become a linguistic bridge that crosses cultures and nationalities, allowing us to communicate with people from around the world, whether for business, education or pleasure.

It is therefore very important to have the confidence to speak in English. I know it is a challenge that faces all young people - and not just those from China - for whom this international language is not their mother tongue, but it is a challenge that can be met.　

I encourage you to take up this challenge to learn how to speak and discourse in English to the best of your abilities. Of course, there are many ways to do this, and to be involved in competitions is just one. But however you go about it, I think that learning to speak another language should never become a burden. It should be fun!

I honestly believe - and I say this to all young people everywhere - make opportunities to speak in English. Look out for different kinds of settings, with all kinds of people and speak in English! It is only with constant practice that your skills and abilities will improve. More importantly, your confidence will also grow and soon you will not worry about pronunciation and understanding. It really is only through constant practice, that the speaking of English will become second nature to you.　

So, set yourself the task to improve your abilities in the English language; make the opportunities; and enjoy yourselves!

Good Luck!
