Hello,

Can I say ," I do always feel nervous to speak in front of audience but some how managing to get nerve to to speak in front of audience". Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks in advance.

26

“I always feel nervous speaking in front of an audience, but somehow I manage to get up (i.e. build up) the nerve to do it.”

27

Thanks!

Does “get up the nerve” mean “courage”?

28

‘get up the nerve’ = ‘find the courage’.

Hi Alan Sir,

Thank you for your Essay Nerve", It was good. I always get fear for simple
things for example If any guest comes to house, I will get tension till they
go from my house, before they come I have to keep my house very neatly
so that my in laws will be happy.

Even do TOEIC Stimulator exam I will get fear upto 20 exercises, then after
I will get some courage. If the scores get decreased to my expectation,
I should not attend this test again, I will feel like this, then I will give break
two days and I will console myself, I can try next time, who is going to give
punishment even if I get lower score, my husband won’t shout at me,
so I am planning to attend test in forum till I feel full satisfaction about my
progress.

Alan Sir, what happend to you Nowadays your essays are so simple, are you
not feeling well? Previously you used to write long essay, it will be difficult for me
to understand also, now you are not writing like that, why sir?

Thank you

I am also one of the learner in the forum, I have given you some tips which you

can follow to improve your English.

I. First you try to type letter without spelling mistake, when you type some
words in spelling mistake,please use backspace to correct the mistake,
if you feel any doubt in the word which you are typing, before typing the
word,better to check with the dictionary.

  1. To improve english listening is very very important that you should practice
    in the forum through TOEIC LISTENNG Exercises,and learners voice message,you
    can also get practiced your voice message by giving audio message.

  2. To get fluency,you should talk with your native speaker of English or Forum
    learner’s daily few hours. You should also create your sorrounding fully english
