    1. First of all, you have to speak your mind because it's natural, and it fell amazing when you say what is in your mind and to share who you really are with the world and not be afraid. In addition, you're always saying I wish if I said something, I wish if I have done this or that. I wish if I told her. Therefore, this always comes in real life. Also. it seems happening in our life. I advise you to speak your mind and never!!!! be afraid to say something no one will kill you trust me!!!!, if you say what are you thinking about or what in your mind your going to feel comfortable, so it is absolutely important to speak your mind. you're better to listen to me !!!!!!!!!

  2. It is important to speak your mind because if you do not speak out your thoughts, you would not be able to express your emotions and opinions. For example, working with other students may lead to unfair situations because other people may ignore you and not consider your ideas if you not speak out your mind. However, some people could find this difficult because they might not have confidence in their ability to communicate with others. For example, some students who cannot speak English well may find it hard to speak out their mind when they do team projects. On the other hand, vanity can be harmful because if someone speaks out their mind too much, other people who work with them may not enjoy it. Listening to other people’s thoughts and not overlooking them is just as important as speaking out your opinions.

  3. I perceived the information valuable and pertinent to my engrossment. Speaking skills are an important aspect of communication. If you want to convey your insights then you need a common medium of language so that the listener is able to comprehend you properly. One can speak and practice English in an effective way, just by downloading English Learning App on your own smartphone, which you can use whenever and wherever you want to practice your communication skills with experts.
