I really liked the article on "3 golden rules for communication".Anybody who follows these rules dedicatedly is surely going to make a sucess story.One point that I would like to add is,the importance of 'phonetics'.Breaking a word into two or three or even four parts(depending on the length of the word),makes it easier to pronounce that word.I am currently staying in Canada,here people are surprised to hear us speak in fluent English.The message that I want to send across is,that we must equip ourselves because English is not only a universal language,but,is also gaining a lot of importance back home.Thanks.
This article is like a dream come true for me.......i have some problem in my spoken english and i was trying something very fuzzy and dont know the direction exactly. Now i am feeling better than ever and started to follow these easy rules. Thanks lot to the author plus Rediff.com
1. On emails: Dont use archaic constructions. Use active words. Instead of the "please find...", use "sending the report, or whatever. Tell them the action expected of them in the first line itself. If you're sending a report for review, say "please review the report attached with this mail".
2. Of the suggested magazines, India Today isnt a great sample.
3. Of the authors, Camus isnt in. In fact, I am scandalized that the author puts Camus at par with Vikram Seth. Ridiculous!
4. From the exercises: "While reading a book, underline all the words you do not know". Hmmm... what an outrageous suggestion! A book is to be valued, unless of course, you're reading the Carlos Ruis Zafon book; disfiguring a book is sacrilege.
