“You are what you say。” The old saying informs us that people tend to judge other people by what they are saying--their knowledge， their personality， and even their capability。
To develop one‘s speaking skills， there are three steps one should pay full attention to。 First， we should maintain a sufficient amount of reading and listening。 Without reading and listening， we have no material to speak。 Second， we should imitate the examples and patterns that we appreciate。 To copy those who speak better than we do is the fastest and easiest way to improve our speaking。 Third， when we have our mode of communication， we should think more before we speak。 That is， we start to aware our speaking style--our words， our tones， our sentences--the message expressed through our mouths。
In the end， speaking is the most interesting part of language。 It‘s worthy for one to mind on one’s speaking in a whole life。

With our society becoming increasingly open and diversified, the speaking ability is of growing importance in our life and work. In the past, people who were not eloquent could become successful when they were diligent enough. However, now, speaking ability can make a person stand out much quicker in their workplace and social life.
The reasons why speaking ability is so important are as follows. To begin with, people of excellent speaking ability are generally more charming and approachable because they tend to be more friendly and frank. Besides, every walk of life has become more cooperative; therefore, more communicative people have higher working efficiency. For example, my brother used to be a quiet person. Two years ago, I was told that he was fired by his company because he could not get along with his colleagues. After that, he attended a speaking training class and spent a year in improving his eloquence. Now, he has become more confident and found a new job with generous salary.
In order to develop speaking ability, listening to good speeches and famous talk shows can help us imitate great lecturers’ style of speaking and ways of expressing themselves. Meanwhile, it is about time that we spent more time with our friends rather than with our phones, sharing with them our real feelings and thoughts.
