Listen, Understand, Read, Speak and Write Well.


“Hello, Aravind, where do you go so early in the morning?” asked his friend Mahesh enquiringly.
“Oh! I have been attending special classes on how to speak fluently?’” replied Aravind, somewhat impatiently.
“Why do you need special classes for that? It’s in our own hands”
“Is it? How? Please explain”. Now his tone has changed a bit.
“Let me tell you the method I followed and it gave me good results. I could do it at my pace, whenever it is convenient to me. I didn’t have to wake up too early or attend any special classes at the expense of my regular courses.”
Aravind became more impatient this time but in a different style. “Without giving details, you are into the benefits of your method. I am more anxious to know the methodology, come on”
“Okay, okay, have patience; otherwise you won’t appreciate what I am saying”
“Yea, I am normal, now”

“Achcha, then Listen attentively, first, before you speak”
“Oh, no; I want to start speaking fluently”
“It’s true. You will eventually speak fluently; but you have to follow the sequence of listening, comprehending, and reading before you speak.
This is a long term and lasting solution without any need for undergoing a crash course especially for the purpose” 
“It seems to have various stages before I reach my target. Will it not delay my learning and eventually spoil my exam?” Aravind expressed his doubt.

“No! You have initiated quite in advance. You have sufficient time to complete the project in time with greater success”, assured, Mahesh.
The original problem of speaking fluently is split into four to five smaller problems like what we do in our day to day work. Each smaller task is named as listening, comprehending, reading and ultimately, speaking. You can even practice creative writing at the end of last step.
However you need a two-in-one with an external mic and a few audio recording cassettes. It’s nothing like if you have a computer with internet and multimedia facilities. It becomes a good practice for on-line listening, the way you will actually undergo testing subsequently.

Aravind thanked his friend, Mahesh, profusely. 

It happened on the Friendship-Day; that’s why they were happier.
