How to Think and Talk Better

Introduction

This guide helps you speak clearly and stay calm at work and at home.

Main Body

Write your ideas first. Then speak them. This helps people understand you. At work, give information in simple steps. Be honest with other people. Do not use hints. Ask questions to learn more. Use logic, not feelings, to fix problems. Spend money carefully. Buy things you need. Do not follow trends. Also, use your phone less. This helps your brain and body rest.

Conclusion

You need clear talk, smart spending, and a healthy mind.

πŸ’‘ The 'Action' Pattern

In this text, we see a simple way to give orders or advice. We start with a verb (an action word).

Look at these examples:

  • extWrite ext{Write} your ideas extβ†’ ext{β†’} Action: Writing
  • extSpend ext{Spend} money carefully extβ†’ ext{β†’} Action: Spending
  • extUse ext{Use} your phone less extβ†’ ext{β†’} Action: Using

🚫 Stopping an Action

To tell someone not to do something, we just add "Do not" before the action word.

  • extDonot ext{Do not} use hints.
  • extDonot ext{Do not} follow trends.

Quick Tip: When you want to be clear at A2 level, keep your sentences short: extVerb+extObject ext{Verb} + ext{Object}. (Example: Buy things.)
