It's hard for me to make proper English sentences, what is the best way to improve English speaking skills?
When speaking English, it's really hard for me to make proper sentences. I cannot express for the life of me, what I really want to say, without taking a really unnecassry long time. Just making this question is hard enough! What goes in my mind whenever I'm speaking English: - "how the **** do I say it?" (pardon my French but I'm so sick and tired of this that I swear alot in my mind, it somewhat comforts me) - "did I make any grammar mistakes there?" - "did I pronounce it correctly?" I could watch English films without subtitles just fine. I could understand them clearly. So why I struggle making the sentences myself?? My best guess is living in a non English speaking country is the main cause. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to just go and live in an English speaking country or even take vacations there. I wish I could because I've heard from many people, that it's the fastest and most efficient way to improve English speaking and listening skills.
How can I improve my English sentence formation and flow of writing, as well as good communication?
In all my answers related to enhancing language skills, I always insist on strtng from zero, which means start from the lowest level like start making sentences in your day to day life with those sorrounding you. For example: “Mom please give me my breakfast as I am getting late”, Geeta get me a glass of water, etc. by doing this daily you will get confidence of speaking in front of others. As far as flow of writing is concerned, you have to start writing one page daily of some newspaper article, while wrtiting try to understand the context alongwith the tenses used. also, pay attention to the vocabulary used. This will enhance your speaking skills, writing skills nd communication overall in one go. ALL THE BEST
By reading novels, can I improve my English speaking and vocabulary? Is the Word Power Made Easy book worth reading?
Reading novels surely helps in building up of vocabulary but the process is time consuming because there are less words you find that you are not aware with.Take alternative .Word power made easy -a book worth reading.Its actually not a reading book, it is a practising book.Word power made easy had proven out to be the best vocab building book. Those complicated long words are very easily explained with the root words and pronunciation.I personally feel this book can teach you more than you can learn from something else.It has been just few months I am in practise with it,I have not even finished it up but still i think it has taught me much than i was capable to build from some novels or others.A single word learnt from it can never be forgotten.Consistency , daily revisions, and those exercises at the end of each session if well practised you yourself is gonna find the difference.Thank you!

I need help with my topic sentence for school can you improve the following sentence?
In Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, Boo Radley was a misunderstood and complicated character. . .the children and the townsfolk thought of him as dangerous and many feared him. . . something like that I can't remember the kids name one was scout right? Anyways this is how i would start it but you can change it up...is this a character analysis essay? If so describe the character, talk about his traits, his reactions to certain events in the story-- i.e. his encounter with scout and whats his name Boo Radley was that character that had the certain appearance of a child molestor. I remember that. The kids af first feared him, and rumors circulated around that he was dangerous.. .that he killed someone? Boo is a good character to analyze. He didnt have a big part. Which is great. Its different. Talk about what you concluded about Boo. What his part in the novel important. Was his role was essential or a throw away. Did he stand out, or was he in the shadows. Could you imagine the book without him.--No. His part was important. He saved the kids. He wasnt the monster people made him out to be. He had a kind soul but a dark and sinister appearance. Analyze the predicaments he encountered. Talk about what you read about him. If you could describe him in one word what would it be? State your thesis. Make sure it is clear and precise. Gather evidence to support it. Use qoutes from the novel, paraphrase, but remember to pick strong ones. Ones that would make sense in your essay. Don't get a qoute describing scout when your character is Boo. You know what i mean? Say what you think the qoute/s mean. Once you get started it pretty much starts to flow. GOOD LUCK!
