How to rid your speech of verbal garbage: simple tips - you will no longer use swear words and filler words

27.07.2024 07:49

You've probably noticed that some people fill pauses in conversation with sounds like "uh," "um," "eee," and so on. The reason is their limited vocabulary.

Because a person lacks the means to express his thoughts, he begins to automatically fill in the “gaps” in sentences.

Fortunately, there are several simple ways to help you get rid of swear words and filler words in your speech.

Good literature

Books should become your constant companion – through reading you train your imagination and visual memory, and, in addition, you expand your range of speech patterns and sentences.

By the way, reading aloud has a beneficial effect on speech.

Friendship by interests

Having someone with similar interests “in reserve” means that you will have the opportunity to apply new terms and expressions in practice, as well as share the acquired knowledge with others and learn something new from them.

Exercises

Here is a small exercise taken from the art of public speaking: you need to compose a coherent text consisting of 15 words that begin with the letter “v”.

Once you have completed the task, you can change the letter or increase the number of words.

That's not all: the text must not only be thought up, but also written down: writing involves different areas of the brain.
