Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.
― Malcolm X
Learning any language is a skill and as they say, to learn a skill effectively one needs to understand nuances of that skill and practice hard until one masters it. In the same manner, while learning English you should go into the small details which make this language unique and then practice while keeping those details in mind.
The first and the foremost thing that comes handy while learning English is, creating an environment which promotes stimulation and provides motivation to learn. For example, watching English movies or series or any form of media where interaction of natives is there, can help you to understand the language at work; how certain words are pronounced, in what way the colloquial language is used and even the manner in which certain words are deemed unimportant while using the language in speaking which in writing form may be considered inappropriate. Also the way certain words are emphasised which change the meaning of the expression, can also make learning interesting. There are certain words in any language which are used more often than others, so grabbing and using these words in your day to day conversation can make you a pro in no time.
Similarly, reading text of a language can also give you a good exposure of the language. Spoken language is normally quite different from its written counterpart, so if you will undergo variety in language usage by reading different type of text, this can give you wonderful vocabulary to form sentences and you will be able to add variety in you expression. Obviously, the more varied your expressions are more dextrous you are considered in the usage of a language.
Another important aspect of English learning is to speak it. Although it seems a difficult task to start with but it is only with speaking practice that issues like hesitation, fumbling and repetition can be sorted. Moreover, appropriacy of usage of language you can learn better by speaking it on various occasions. If you keep on speaking English notwithstanding, the issues that you face while doing so, with the passage of time you will find that it becomes more and more easy to break the ice and converse in this language without the consideration of accuracy.
And finally, writing English should be practiced on regular basis in order to learn to make mixtures of simple and complex sentences. Moreover, with written practice you will be able to imprint the correct expressions in your mind which will add to correct usage of the language and more you will produce longer articulations, better your spoken usage of language will become.
Ergo, it is imperative that if you really want to be a good user of English in least possible time, the aforementioned tips can help you out and can make you as good user of the language as a native.
How to improve knowledge skills
Knowledge means our awareness about any particular thing or idea. So, it is imperative that a person keeps on adding to their knowledge in order to enhance their perception about the surroundings and at times prepare themselves for future challenges. But the question remains how to do so? Let’s find out.
Knowledge is such a beautiful entity that it is spread everywhere but one needs to have an eye for it. Even if you are sitting in a park watching some children playing and enjoying themselves, you are adding to your understanding of children’s behaviour while at play and also how this behaviour gets demonstrated in different age groups. So, essentially you can get enlightened if you are willing to do so even if visibly you are at leisure. The process of knowledge addition still goes on.
Thus, to improve your knowledge skills all you need to do is to keep your eyes open and digest whatever is happening around with a positive and open mind. You are not supposed to be an all knowing entity but you can surely be a person who knows how to grab new information and then to add it your previous knowledge for the sake of having a fuller, more robust personality.
The positive power of education
They say, education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom. This quote itself points to the power education carries. An educated person can bring change in self, in their surroundings and in the whole society using the knowledge they have about the realities existing around them. Education need not be based on bookish knowledge albeit books do contribute greatly toward wisdom.
Although the start of human evolution can be attributed to trial and error with the accidental striking of two stones leading to fire, the sharp edged stones becoming crude weapons etc. – all shots in the dark- the passing on of this information led to further developments and the kind of world we see today is nothing but the offshoot of these first chance findings. Thus, education which was given to next generations made way for further betterments and the world that we experience today became so; only because we educated our offspring.
Not only this, education has brought changes in quality of our lives. The kind of horror we witnessed in the last two years when we were attacked by a ruthless virus, it was the education which saved a large proportion of world. The people educated in medical field not only treated those suffering, they also spread awareness regarding the correct behavior to be adopted in order that the spread be contained. We saw that education has the power to save people from sufferings they otherwise would have to bear.
The message one can take home is that education is a very powerful tool and thus, it should be our prerogative that we do our best to make it far, far reaching.
