Is it that difficult to speak in English ? ..Try these tips

During my school days,I noticed that  a few of my Chinese classmates,spoke with a good command of Bahasa Melayu.

I knew, Chinese and English were used frequently in their daily life.

Malay neighbours ? .I guessed, there was not even a single Malay family in the neighbourhood.

True enough,   "Bahasa Baku" was their choice. 

Approaching one of them,I asked  Lian, why the Bahasa Baku ?

He said " I know Malay only in school,you and the others speak Malay with difference slang"

He used to read a lots of Malay books, One thing , for sure , Lian would not immediately responded when  I ask him , " Lian , lepas baca, bagi saya terus buku tu".

He was a library prefect, borrowing from the library is just a matter of handing over my library card to him,I did not have to make my way to the library.

It took  a few seconds,for him to answer .With a smile ,he uttered the words " sebenarnya, saya sememangnya ada keinginan untuk memberikan buku ini kepada kamu"

I learned the secret from those guys.

In order to speak in English ;-

1. You must have a good vocabulary
2. Before you open your mouth, in your mind, start to process , how to arrange for the sentences
3. Use gesture such smiling, to help you overcome the tendency to response immediately.
