Shopping... A hidden pleasure for all, irrespective of the gender! Isn't it always a great pleasure to gift yourself something grand and new, or something branded ? When it comes to purchasing a shirt for yourself, you have a picture in your head of how you would want your new purchase to look. You happen to develop a mental picture of which color, what sleeves (whether half or full), whether checks or a solid color. With all this already creating chaos, entering a shop, and looking for your ideal match can get a little difficult. The clutter of products might seem to block your vision and keep you away from the ideal pick. Only a sales person can come to your rescue !

How to buy shirt

How would you express to him your description of the perfect shirt in well- spoken English?

We have an example for you. Have a look:

Conversation with Salesperson

Sales person: Hello Sir, How may I help you?

You: Good Evening! I'm looking for a formal shirt. Could you help me locate it?

Sales person: Follow me, Sir.

You: Sure. After you.

Sales person: This is our section of formal shirts. Could I assist you with anything else?

You: Yes please! I am on the lookout for a solid color, formal shirt, with full sleeves to go with my Navy Blue suit.

Sales person: Sure Sir. Is there any color that you've got in mind?

You: Well, I wouldn't mind it in a beige color.

Sales person: Here you go, Sir. There is a trial room to the extreme right of the shirts section.

You: I'll be right back. Thank you.

A few moments later...

You: I'll take this one for sure. Could you also suggest me another color to go with a black suit?

Sales person: Here you go, Sir. For all business meets and other occasions, this mauve color, crisp shirt with your black suit will be the perfect blend of sophistication and classiness.

Buy Shirt

You: Sure. I will take this one too. Could I have both of them please?

Being an avid reader will have all your friends run to you for recommendations, to know which books are worth a read, and to know about the book you are reading at present. No matter which of the above question gets flung your way, you are required to be prepared. Having a good and in depth knowledge of books pushes you up the ladder of conversing and speaking in good English.

Talk about Book

Books as company


There could be numerous reasons why you read, it could be for pleasure ,interest ,hobby or simply to read the language. There is no book that can be tagged as an ideal book to read. Every book possesses its own charm and reading level. For a reader, a book makes the perfect company; some of them consider books better company than their own companions. Those are dedicated readers, who surrender themselves to the love and passion of reading.

Reading: A splendid tool to learn English


One of the best forms of practicing how to speak in English very well is reading. Reading will not only bring about a significant development in your spoken English skills but also improve your vocabulary beyond bounds. In no time you will be able to incorporate those words in your English speaking and win over many, by your spoken English vocabulary.

Let's take a look at a well- spoken example:


Situation: You're seated in a library, a stranger passes by and comes back to your table. She's curious about the book you're reading as she's heard a few good things about it. She happens to ask you about the book you're engrossed in, let's see how the conversation proceeds.

Talk about a Book read recently


Penny: Excuse me, Hey! I am sorry if I'm interrupting. Can I speak to you for a minute?

Sheldon: Hi, sure. Tell me.

Penny: I am extremely intrigued about the book you're reading. I tried looking around for the same but was unable to find it in the library.

Sheldon: Well, yes. This book has only one copy available in here.

Penny: Could you tell me more about the book?

Sheldon: Sure, grab a chair. The book is based on the story of the author, it's not an autobiography yet adopts a real life experience of a few life changing experiences the author has been through. He has very interestingly crafted  fictitious characters to give the story that extra added edge.

Penny: Sounds interesting and unconventional.

Sheldon: I would love to go ahead and spill out the entire story to you but that would kill your fun of reading the book.

Penny: Nope. I'm good with what you've told me, I am certain now that I want to read it. Thank you for the description and just so you know, you have an amazing gift called 'the art of describing'.

Sheldon: Thank you. Happy reading!

Library

Sheetal: I've completed my MBA from ABC university.

Raj: Great. Curious to know, on what basis did you choose your college?

Sheetal: Well, a number of factors. I made sure to do my share of research on the college's history, its reputation in the field, its value on the job front.

Raj: Okay. And...

Sheetal: I checked the accreditation the college was affiliated with, its teaching faculty, both the permanent as well as the visiting staff, and the in-house job opportunities.

Raj: That's a lot of research.

Sheetal: I believed in studying the college in detail before enrolling myself into one.

Raj: Looking at your rate of success, I don't think that's a bad belief.

Sheetal: True, besides, it becomes easier to weigh your options if you know every detail about the college you're soon going to be a part of. It's always best to get into the habit of doing as much research as can be done.

Raj: I am so thankful to you for sharing your knowledge with me. If it weren't for this conversation with you, I would not have bothered in doing so much research before enrolling into any college.

Sheetal: You're welcome Raj. Make it big and remember to be dedicated towards your goal.

The importance of research:


Throwing some light upon whatever you do is always recommended. Staying dedicated to your aim will help you to acieve great heights. Similarly, in case of learning to speak English fluently, research and practice will improve your English speaking skills and inculcate a feeling of confidence in you.

To find an ideal dermatologist to visit on a regular basis is quite a task, but when you do find him/ her, stick to the same. It is best to have only one skin specialist to visit frequently in time of outbursts or allergies, as he/ she can understand, monitor and give you the required medication.

Give direction to reach clinic

Hypothetical situation:


Taking into consideration, a hypothetical situation, you have your family dermatologist sorted that you visit as and when the need arises. A friend of yours is still shuffling between skin specialists to zero down on one doctor for a while. This friend calls you to ask you about your skin doctor and how good he is with his medications, prescriptions, and dosages. She is down with an allergy and needs to visit a doctor on an urgent basis. On your recommendation, she decides to go ahead with your dermatologist and asks for the directions to the clinic.

Call Doctor


How would the conversation be in well- spoken English? Let's have a look:

Riya: Hello.

Nikita: Hey Riya. How are you?

Riya: I am not very fine, Nikki.

Nikita: What's wrong? Should I come over?

Riya: No. Don't come home. I have caught an allergy and I'm not too sure if you can catch it too.

Nikita: Allergy? What sort of an allergy? Did you eat something? Touch something?

Riya: No Nikki. Relax. I haven't yet figured out how I got this.

Nikita: Are there any lumps or redness and itchiness?

Riya: Lumps. Tiny red lumps are there on  my face, neck and hands. I hope it's not the lotion I applied this morning.

Nikita: I have told you so many times to check the expiry date on the cosmetic products you use. You never listen, act carelessly and develop all these infections.

Riya: Lecture me later, for now tell me if your doctor is reliable enough  for an allergy as this.

Nikita: Yes, of course! I have been visiting him since my teenage years. He gives the perfect medicine, creams and ointments to clear your skin off all the blemishes. Isn't too expensive either.

Doctor


Riya: Sounds good to me, how do I get to his clinic, can you direct me there?

Nikita: Listen carefully; Get to sector- 29, near the Blue Sky hotel.

Riya: Blue Sky?

Nikita: The huge 5 star near the signal...

Riya: Oh! Yes... Blue Star. Then?

Nikita: From that signal, take a right.

Riya: Okay.

Nikita: Once you've taken the right, take the first left and keep going down the same road.

Riya: Done.

Nikita: Soon you'll reach a dead end; the building on the right is where his clinic is.

Riya: Okay. What's his name?

Nikita: His name is Dr. Shenoy and he sits on the fifth floor of the building.

Riya: Thank you. I will see you soon after my treatment.

Nikita: Sure. Take care, Bye.

Having a conversation with a friend should be relaxed and at ease, even if it is in the English language. Since they are your friends, it shouldn't be a big deal if you make a mistake or two while conversing. You can gain confidence and improve English speaking skills by practicing with your near and dear ones. Mastering the language and developing your English communication skills can also become more fun if you have someone for company to practice with.
