It is great to see the enthusastic participtation of all for enhancing the proficiency of skills in English. I really find this forum very helpful. You know, the concept of “global village” indirectly stresses the importance of English. Our linguistic proficiency of English is an highly needed parameter for finding a splendid job.
By writing in the forums we can improve our writing skills and get corrected our mistakes. But , to speak English fluently , we should inculcate the habit of speaking in English always. We should raise our confidence level by making it a regular practise. Hundred present of perfection is always an utopian thought. So we should not be hesitant of speaking in English for commiting errors.
Whenever I am alone I use to speak myself in English. I just imagine something and try to articulate it. We can follow our own style but our final aim is to attain the good command of English.
Thanks for the compliment. It is always my desire to enhance my proficieny in English. From, my school days onwards English is one of the subjects and we Indians naturally give more respect to English.
By the by , which country do you belong to? How often do you get chance to make your communication in English?
Thanks for your interest in correcting my mistakes. But still I feel , my statement is also not a wrong one. If we want to change our subject to other matters we usually say “By the by” so is “By the way”. "Which country do you live in? " is an apt one if we are interested in knowing the country of the person currently living. That too, I fell this should be said in present continuous tense, "Which country are you living in? " . I just want to know the orgin of the person hence I strongly feel “Which country do you belong to?” will do.
i live in canada, and i have never heard anyone say by the by, i’d guess because it doesn’t make any sense with the flow of words. Which country do you belong to yes it is correct but when you read it outloud it doesnt sound right. I mean you can use it no problem, but saying which country do you live in just sounds better. Also if you want to know the persons origin just say what is your background or where were you born.
It’s great that you are a journalist. I’m a journalist too and I also speak Russian.
How many languages do you speak? Is it difficult to work in another country?
I’m also from Ukraine and moved to Canada a few months ago. This site is very good because you can take these tests and then ask questions. I already had one answer within what - one hour I suppose. Anyway, good doing guys I’ll be back soon.
