tips on how to speak fluent english

There is English input available everywhere. Here are a few tips and suggestions for you to find input of English around you and improve your English speech:

Rent or buy an English movie DVD

Rent or buy an English movie DVD. Put the English subtitles on. Follow the movie.
This has many advantages:
  • You will be able to compare the written words to the correct pronunciations.
  • You will get a feel of how real English sentences are formed when speaking.
  • You will be learning English but it will not be frustrating and boring because you will be watching a movie.
Please note: When you watch the movie be sure to keep your dictionary handy. Whenever you come across a new word, pause the movie and look it up in the dictionary. If you don’t do this, the whole experience will be quite pointless.

Read about any subject that interests you

There are a lot of English magazines available on a lot of different topics.
No matter what subject interests you, there must be some magazine that talks about it. There are English magazines about Business, Brides, Guns and Ammo, House Keeping, Stock Market, Sports, Computers, Electronics, Linux, Graphic Designing, Cooking etc.
Find the magazine that interests you and read it cover to cover. Be sure to look out for new words and new phrases and look them up in the dictionary as you go.
If you cannot find a magazine of your choice, look for information you are interested in on the Internet. There is information available on every topic under the sun on the Internet.

Read Internet forums of subject matter that interests you

Got to Internet forums of the subject matter that interests you. Generally most of the forums are in English language and are a great source of English input.
For those of you who are not familiar with Internet forums, these are places where people interested in a particular subject can get together and share their views and opinions about a particular subject. You can also ask specific questions to other people and they will help you out if they can. On the Internet, there are forums available about each and every subject.
Forums are a great source of information. Also in forums real people talk about real problems. Most of the information typed in forums is written in an informal way. Because of this the forums make a good source for English input. Reading forums exposes you to a lot of phrases of daily use.
You could find forums on any subject matter that interests you at: Google Groups
You could also go to "Google" and search for the forum of the subject matter you are interested in by typing in something like “C programming forum” or “Cooking forum” etc.
When reading forums also make sure you find out the meaning of every new word or phrase you come across or the whole exercise will be useless.

the unforgetable

The stars, high up in the sky,
Form a name I can’t deny.
This person was a part of me,
And was from my close family.
Many mistakes he had done,
Afterwards, thinking he won,
He lost everything he had
And couldn’t pretend being sad.
Going away, leaving things down:
As a king throwing his crown
Which was the jewel of his life…
Leaving behind him only strife.
Now all I can do is sigh
Because vengeance I cannot try.
My memories, wild as the sea,
Closed up. They can never be free…

goodbye

the day I met you,
I felt everything was new
waking up each morning with a smile
taking away the pain that i feel for a while…
but love seems not to be fair
because you hurt me and give me a tear
how I wish I didn’t met you
how I wish I never loved you
for loving you just means “goodbye”
I must go on with my life
and forget the wound i have inside
for I know time will come that this pain will subside
saying goodbye would be the best I guess
setting you free is maybe your happiness
but always remember this…
though you hurt me so,
I’ll still always love you
but saying “Goodbye” would be the best thing to do.

history of poems

Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest of all surviving poems. This poem was written in the 3rd millennium BC. After this one, Greek epic poems like Iliad and Odyssey came into existence, which were followed by Gathic Avesta, Yasna, Vigil's Aeneid, Ramayana and Mahabharata. During the pre-Renaissance period, there were only three genres of poems- epic, tragedy and comedy, which later on replaced by epic, lyric and dramatic while including tragedy and comedy as the subdivisions of dramatic poetry.

The renaissance period was completely dominated by the romantics. Later, a number of literary structures were introduced to poems like rhythm, rhyme, compression, refrains, intensity of feelings and emotions. With these came the lyric poetry. With the advent of electronic media, performance poems came into existence. The later 20th century saw the rise of poetry slams, which divided poems in academic and popular genres.

relationship

Relationship is a broad term that has different facets in the world of life. It is the flavor of the life that makes living so interesting. We all build up different relationships with each people right from our birth to death. Relationship with parents, children, friends, siblings, husband/wife, lover, in-laws, colleagues, and employees are some of the common bonds that we all share in life. However, what is difficult is to strike the right chord and build up a perfect rapport in all the relationships. Otherwise, we would find ourselves as the lone sole surviving in this planet without any social connections.

It is sad but true that we often get to hear about failed relationships or sweet relationships turned bitter. In the fast -paced life to success people often tend to forget about the essence of a loving relationship and end up hurting each other. Whom should we blame? The people around us with whom we have to deal in our everyday life or the society and the environment we live in. The answer is simple, the fault lies within us, which we always tend to overlook and start with the blame game process. We never seem to understand that these are the people who make our lives complete and life will not be the same again without these people.

Love strengthens a relationship and also balances the life cycle while giving meanings to our individuality. A loving and a good relationship isn't the one that lasts longer but that is build with mutual self respect, love, and care. It is heartening to witness that many relationships of love failing at the crux of negative thoughts. It is a matter of concern that couples in long distance relationship is also failing to keep up their love alive conquering the distance. Self realization and trust along with a positive attitude towards life is what makes a relationship work.
