Dare to speak

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛What I want to talk about today is "Dare to speak". In fact, any language is a communication tool. We have to make it work for ourselves. Most importantly you must speak up at the critical point of the time. Do not miss the chance because of worrying about your grammar errors or misuse of words. Do not miss the chance because of worrying about your grammar errors or misuse of words.

Especially when you are at work during a meeting somebody transfers responsibility to you or speaks on your behalf you must speak up. At this time if you choose to keep silent because you worry about your oral English, you will regret. Time is not waiting for you. Unfair rules have been made and history has been written. The consequence may be cruel to you. However at this point even if you make a sneeze others turn their faces to you and history slows down its pace, then you have chance to change it!

Do not worry about people misunderstand you. Even if you disorderly utter those words followed by explanations people do understand. The important thing is when you do this you still have chance to change something.

Certainly you are the best if you can speak fluently with sterling accent. However keeping silent because of imperfect expression leads to giving up your rights.

Many locals have grammar errors in their oral English, so do we when we speak our tongue language. Does that impair your convincibility?

Do not worry. Speak up! You can!

我今天要说的主题是:敢言。语言本质上是一个交流工具,要利用语言为你服务。最重要的是,你要在适当的时候发出你的声音,不要因为担心语法错误、用词不当而错失良机。

尤其各位在工作中,在讨论会上,有人把责任推到你这里的时候,或者有人代替你说话的时候,你一定要speak up,在这个时候,如果你因为自己的英文可能有语法错误、用词不当而选择沉默的话,对不起,时间不等人,不平等条约立即生效,历史就此改写,后果对你是大大的不利。这时你就算打个喷嚏都好,大家的的脸会转向你,历史也会停下它的脚步,你就有机会改写它!

其实,不要担心别人听不懂,你就是把那一堆单词凌乱地说出来,别人也能懂,大不了再多解释几句。重要的是,你这样做了,机会还在你手里,你还有能力改变一些事情。

当然,具备流利的表达并配合完美的口音,又敢于发声,你当然是最棒的了。然而,由于口语不完美而保持沉默等于放弃了你的权利。

本地人的口语也有语法错,我们说汉语也会有,可那影响说服力吗?

不要畏惧。说!你能!更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
