Remember to speak proper English at all time

Local free distribution papers – TODAY has been gearing up the Speak Good English movement by publishing daily news feeding the importance of using proper English to its readers.

On one of article, it discusses that we should not degrade our English levels even when placing orders from the hawker stalls. Good English can be simple English too and it can be easily understood.

Although most hawkers receive little education, they must not be deprived of the chance to learn and speak proper simple English. One learns the language by listening and through frequent use of the particular.

I concurred the above as I had mastered my English through frequent usage in my daily lives too – listen more English channels, and write and speak more of the language. It is a habit which everyone should cultivate as proper English will be easily perceived when we are conversing with other counterparts outside Singapore. I doubt they would be able to understand our Snglish and it is a disrespect to the language itself if not use properly. Hence everyone- let's try our best to speak proper English to our peers!
