'CONNECT' 14 : Tips on Public Speaking: Improve your vocabulary


The most important thing is to read as much as you can, like I did. It will give you an understanding of what makes good writing and it will enlarge your vocabulary.
J K Rowling

The most critical element in public speaking is the command over language in which you want to become a good public speaker. It could be English or your mother tongue or any other language. Whatever be the language, you should know as many words and their usage as possible. It is called vocabulary.


Vocabulary is the number of words that you know within a language which you can use at ease either in conversation or in public speaking.

Like muscle building, we can also build good vocabulary by taking disciplined effort. The procedure is very simple: reading, listening, speaking and writing. You should read widely in the language in which you want to speak. Choose books and periodicals of your interest such as sports, hobbies, stories, novels etc. Listen to radio and television news and observe how they read and present the news. Notice for unknown words and write down the same. Next time when you speak, remember to use these new words you learnt. Always have a handy dictionary by your side and refer the dictionary when you come across any new word and write a sentence.

Try to learn at least five new words every day. Do this regularly and notice your vocabulary grow!
