BETTER SPEAKER & WRITER

As a teacher of English, I would like to share some tips on how to be a better speaker and writer. When I flip through the Star Magazine last Sunday, 23rd January, I came accross an article related to pronunciation and writing skills. These skills can be improved quickly with will, practice and a bit of hard work. There are 10 regular ways that these skills can be readily applied to enhance the quality of personal communication. Those are
1) using superior adjectives, adverbs, nouns and verbs to express ideas
2) using 'clefting' to give emphasis in conversation and communication
3) using phrase and clause equivalents instead of single words to qualify another word
4) using alternative forms of punctuations
5) using words as alternative parts of speech
6) using different stress when pronouncing words as nouns, verbs and adjectives
7) using selected words and constructions when speaking or writing so as not to offend or to achieve the best response
8) using the thesaurus and the dictionary with purpose and effect
9) using appropriate colloquial and idiomatic terminology for effect
10) using different words and constructions to commence sentences when speaking and writing
This article really attracted me and I hope it will be useful for all the teachers' and students out there... 

I DON'T UNDERSTAND

I don't get it!
At first i dont have any idea on what to write in my first entry but now after i started my reading, i assume that i have something in mind to share with you guys out there. Putting words together on what i have covered through my reading was seem to be very difficult but what i acquired was that is how one get a better idea and ways to improve one's writing. Always i should bare in mind that once i started writing my entries i'm not writing for anybody but for myself to improve and satisfy my thoughts and feelings and most importantly is an effort to help readers to see things my way.
While in the process of reading i came across this saying by E.M Forster "How do i know what i think until i see what i say?" Then i decided taht don't be afraid to set forth my hunches and write in a spirit of confidence....
