Since we spend about ninety percent of our walking hours in talking, we ought to give some time and thought to the improvement of the way we talk. you may be good looking and intelligent, but your good qualities may be marred if your speech is careless. improved speech frequently results from imitation; and the boy or girl is fortunate who hears only the best examples of speech at home at school, or in the community. A person with excellent speech is more likely to succeed in whatever he does. so study and study read and read to enhance our capability to speak well and to have a good conversation.
