Being a Good Listener
We hear a lot about how to speak well in public, but very little about how to learn the equally important art of listening properly to others.
The Power of Parallelism
Parallelism is the repetition of similar grammatical forms. It is a powerful tool
in public speaking and writing.
You may have heard this quote attributed to
Julius Caesar:
I came, I
saw, I conquered.

I might be 90 years old, but I'm still young at heart!
You're talking to an elderly
neighbor. She says that she is 90 years old, but she jokes that she still has a
lot of energy.
The "th" sounds & other ones
Pronouncing English can be difficult.
One reason is because English has some difficult sounds that are –
unfortunately for English learners – very common.
But English learners can improve their pronunciation

'From the Cabby's Seat' by O. Henry
We
present the short story "From the Cabby's Seat," by O. Henry. The
story was originally adapted and recorded by the U.S. Department of State.
The cabby has his own special place from which
he looks at life. His view of
people is simpler, perhaps, than the view of a man who does any other kind of
work.
From the high seat of his cab,
he looks down upon everybody.
