Abstract

Strange and funny how things work and how we let them define the world. Here is when the word “communication” came into existence. Switching of messages and information fascinated the world but it has many limitations too yet being thankful for providing a means to express our inner feelings and emotions. Communication itself is an art which gave birth to another skill called “teaching”. Tutoring the society helps in exchanging knowledge which further helps in building and developing the nation. An act of bringing forth the sounds of vocal expression including articulation, utterance and phonetics is often referred to as “pronunciation”. The way the sounds of English language are treated are expressed in some conventional patterns followed by the delivery of those words. Idioms and proverbs are the ones that get English language through a better part and fills every cell of the language and consequently gives new life and presentable look to the language. On top of all this, it’s blessed to have figures of speech like metaphor, simile and hyperbole furthermore adding spice to the English language.
