Confidence and Competence in the
Command of the English Language
By Richard Sng, DTM
Do we have a grasp and grip of the English language or words, to
grab the attention of the reader and the audience
Why do so many people struggle to find the right words, or even for
the words, to put across their ideas, opinions and thoughts in simple sentences
Is it because of our poor command, and competence of the language
Many struggle with grammar and pronunciation.
Others choose words which are boring and bland, lack variety,
Vitality and vibrancy.
Words are also incorrectly used. Many try to get out of a situation
with overused and overworked words.
It is a delight and joy to listen to a handful few. They speak correctly and clearly,
coupled with audibility and intensity. Not
many can speak and write creatively.
Having an effective grasp and grip of
English language skills is an asset to be
more successful in today’s world.
We have to deal with a broad range of
communication challenges.
Mastery in the use of proper words in the
right context enables us to
have the edge over others and stay ahead
in our industry and
profession.
The way we wriggle, wrestle and wrangle
with words is a great
challenge and task.
