These days, the English language has been used worldwide, including Malaysia. However, learning English is not enough. We have to speak English well in order to wholly master the language. If we want to transfer our thoughts to another, we have to use the appropriate grammar and pronunciation. Communicating is not as easy as writing an English essay. We need to have conversational ability and that means being able to convert our thought to a line of words, spontaneously by using appropriate words and in the meantime, being able to construct a well structured line of words.

Speaking well in English is very important because it can help us to go further, especially in our career. The one who has mastered the English language, has a brighter future as they are likely to be an asset to a company. Whenever one has to deal with a foreign company, one would likely be speaking English, as it has been a lingua franca to the world of business nowadays.

Also, speaking English well can help us in writing a great essay and enable us to explore foreign culture and technology. This is important in order to advance our technologies. Most advanced countries use English to store their technology information. So, if we want to learn the technology, we will have to know the language well first. We do not want a mistake to happen just because we have wrongly translated the information.

The necessity of speaking English well is significant in all fields, such as: Engineering, teaching, white-collar and also the common worker, as they will need it in their everyday lives. They cannot expect to meet local persons only all the time because there will be tourists or foreign workers in Malaysia. Obviously, they will be speaking English and here is where the necessity comes in. If we failed to communicate with them, they will lose their faith in us or worse, they would never think of coming here again.

The best way to learn and enhance our speaking is by practice, practice and more practice. It's because practice makes perfect. If you always practice your grammar and pronunciations, you will surely have no obstacle in mastering the English language.
