3. Thinking before speaking: One should be relaxed and be comfortable before delivering the message you want to convey to your audience, as a well thought answer and speech are always preferred by the audience.

This will sound fluent and also it will not create pressure on you to say anything without you being ready. Fixed phrases are words that are usually fixed in a certain order, such as verb patterns, collocations, idioms. 

Few examples for fixed phrases are:

a. In the meantime
b. Sorry to bother you
c. During the day
d. I’m just kidding
e. For what it’s worth
f. Tit for tat

4. You should learn the sentences and not words: When you learn or come across the new word, you should also learn and understand the word by using it in sentences and understand the meaning of the new word. Some people try to learn the words without understanding how to use the words in a sentence.

Thus, you should pay attention to what is being said around you as these might be very helpful for you later in improving your communication skills.

6. Practice the interrogatives: One single person cannot communicate alone. This is a two-way process. Thus, one should always ask questions, such as What are your views on that? This type of questions will keep the audience alert and give the also opportunity to share their views and opinions. This, in turn, will also give you time to think and also relax at the same time.

7. Produce the Proper English language: Knowing the language is an accumulation of passive knowledge, that needs to be activated in proper manner and pattern. The main aim of the speaker should be producing correct and proper English. Thus, the basic and essential requirement is to practice the language which is considered to be the best way to learn English and improve all the flaws and mistakes that you might make while speaking.
