other foreign counties like United States and United Kingdom. It is helpful to us
in order to mold our language and the way we speak to people since we were
dealing with patients. And we would become more confident to speak up with
different nationalities. That by applying these lessons would help avoid
grammatical errors and to compose phrases and sentences in good grammar.
