Introduction
Effective Communication: Understanding the Differences between
Spoken and Written English.
Spoken English refers to the form of English used in everyday
conversations and spoken interactions. It is the way people speak
English in real-life situations, in contrast to written English, which is
used in more formal or permanent forms of communication, such as
essays, letters and books.

Spoken English is characterized by informality, fluidity, and adaptability

to different contexts. Spoken English is used in a variety of situations,
such as in casual conversations with friends, public speaking, in
business meetings, and in telephone conversations.
• Unlike written English, spoken English is influenced by factors such as
the speaker's tone of voice, body language, and other non-verbal
cues, which can add meaning and emphasis to what is being said.
Spoken English also often contains contractions, filler words, and
other features not normally used in written English.

• To be an effective English speaker, it is important to understand the

conventions and characteristics of spoken English, as well as the
context in which it is used, and to practice speaking in a way that is
clear, confident and engaging.
The following is an example of spoken English in a casual conversation between two friends:

Friend 1: Hey, how are you?

Friend 2: Fine, been busy with work. How about you?
Friend 1: Same thing. I've got a lot of deadlines coming up.
Friend 2: Yeah, work can be tough sometimes. What are you doing this weekend?
Friend 1: Don't know yet, probably relaxing at home. What about you?
Friend 2: I'm thinking of going mountain climbing on Saturday. Do you want to
come?
Friend 1: That sounds great! I'd love to. What time would you like to meet?
Friend 2: How about 10am at the hiking spot?
Friend 1: Perfect, see you then.
In this example, you can see the informality and relaxed tone of spoken English,
with the use of contractions, filler words, and informal vocabulary. Also, the
conversation flows and adapts to the topic at hand, as the speaker switches from
talking about work to discussing weekend plans.

The Importance of Education

Education is an essential aspect of human life and has been recognized as a fundamental right in many
countries. It provides individuals with the knowledge, skills, and values they need to succeed in life, both
personally and professionally. Education helps individuals to understand and interpret the world around them,
to develop critical thinking skills, and to become active and informed citizens. It also opens doors to better job
opportunities, higher salaries, and a higher standard of living.
Moreover, education is a key factor in breaking the cycle of poverty, promoting gender equality, and reducing
conflict and violence. In conclusion, education is a fundamental right that should be accessible to all people,
regardless of their background or circumstances. By investing in education, individuals, communities, and
nations can create a better future for themselves and future generations

New Study Finds Link Between Sleep Deprivation and Poor Health

A new study conducted by the National Sleep Foundation has found a strong
correlation between sleep deprivation and poor health. The study, which involved
over 5,000 participants, found that those who reported sleeping less than 7 hours
per night were more likely to experience a range of health problems, including
increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

The study's lead researcher, Dr. Sarah Johnson, commented on the findings, saying,
"This study provides clear evidence of the importance of getting enough sleep for
overall health and well-being. We hope that these findings will encourage people to
prioritize sleep and make it a priority in their daily routines." The study highlights
the need for individuals to prioritize sleep and the importance of establishing
healthy sleep habits to maintain overall health and well-being.
