THINK IN ENGLISH WITH BBC - BIO DATA BASED CONVERSATION

The story of EC...No, it doesn't begin with A,B or C but...

..in fact it begins with the letter "I". This letter "I" is also the most commonly used word in English. So naturally our learning of EC starts with making some statements(Speech) about our own self ie., I.

I am Rajesh Kumar.

I am from Delhi.

I have a job in a bank.

I have a four member family.

I stay with my parents and a sister.

I work in SBI from 9 am to 4 pm. Now let's see a few questions (Interaction) about the speaker ie., I:

Am I Rajesh? (Yes/No Questions)

Are you from Delhi?

Where do you work? (Wh-Questions)

How many members are there in your family?

With whom do you stay?

What's your working time? 

This method of learning English Communication(EC) is called "Bio-data based Speech-Interaction method". This method can be effectively used when the participants are ready to share their bio-data based information with one another like in job interviews. So this method is very useful for job seekers as they can gain a lot of confidence to attend interviews by practicing EC in this way. So keep practicing EC using this method if you are looking for jobs. Let's start NOW.
