Because the language center of the brain is a unique area for us humans, and it is also one of the characteristics that distinguish humans from animals. Therefore, as long as we are a "healthy and normal" person, any of us can express our thoughts and communicate with others.

As for speaking well, it has something to do with one's knowledge, cultivation and emotional intelligence.

Of course, these things can't be accumulated in a short time. But in the process of accumulating these things, it is also very important to know how to exercise your expressive ability.

How to exercise?

Is to improve your language organization ability on the existing basis.

If you say it, there will be a series of operational processes.

It's just that this process happens very quickly, so it's easy for us to ignore the specific practice of each step.

In order to find out what hinders our expression ability, we must first understand this expression process.

From a psychological point of view, there are probably five steps:

1, information input;

2. Trigger perception;

3. Construct meaning;

4. Organize reports;

5. Output information;

Use an example to illustrate this process.

For example, there is a mouse eating biscuit crumbs on your beautiful quilt.

When you see this sentence, the information is input into your brain. No matter what you see, think and hear, it is a kind of information input.

After the information enters the thalamus through the nerve center, part of it enters the amygdala-feeling the information, and the other part enters the neocortex, a place responsible for information processing, to interpret the information.

In other words, the brain will interpret the feeling brought by this input information: where did the mouse run out? Why does it eat these cookies in bed? What if my bed is destroyed by it? What can I do to get rid of it?

Please note that these explanations initially appeared in an abstract way of feeling. It's just that the brain transforms this feeling into more specific rational thinking.

After reading the information, if you still have a friend around you and you need him to cooperate with you in dealing with the mouse, then you should simplify this series of interpretations into a core idea and let him understand your practice.

Then the brain will use the motor language center, a place responsible for speaking, to combine your grammatical habit of using your mother tongue and generate relevant sentences according to your inner meaning, and then tell your friends this information:

Don't let this mouse get away! Either it dies or I die today!

At this point, you have completed this round of expression activities, and then you will enter the next round of expression process, continue to say what you want to say, and continue until you have completed all your expression purposes.

This kind of expression is ok to say one or two sentences, but it is relatively difficult to say a long paragraph.

So what's the problem?

Unless the language center of your brain is damaged, anyone can improve his expression ability.

If you feel that your present expressive ability is not good, it is because you may not have done well in some steps in this expressive process.

According to the steps of the expression process, the four decisive factors that affect our expression ability are:

1, you have no impression of the information;

This is easy to understand.

For example, if you watch a movie and it doesn't make you feel anything, then your brain has nothing to say about it. For example, let you say an advertisement, but you have no experience in what kind of advertisement and in what form. At this time, it is more difficult to express.

Writing a composition requires "touching the scene" before you can start writing. If you don't feel anything, it's hard for you to have a clue to speak. Silence is a natural thing.

2. You can't interpret the information;

If you want to have something to say, you must know how to interpret the information you receive. What affects our interpretation of information is our own knowledge and experience.

For example, when you see this sentence: "rakastan sinua", what do you think?

This is Finnish "I love you". If you haven't studied this language, you won't have a special impression on it, and naturally you can't interpret this information. Just as you don't know medicine, of course you can't express any opinions on how to do heart surgery.

Therefore, accumulating knowledge and experience is so important for the promotion of eloquence, which is the reason. Having a corresponding knowledge reserve in your brain will make it easier for you to interpret information.

Of course, a good speaker can interpret some information that has no "impression" even in the face.

This "rambling" ability is because he knows how to find the breakthrough point of interpretation.

3. You can't find the starting point of constructing meaning.

For the information you receive, there is more than one entry point when you construct the meaning you want to express.

For example, the mouse example above. When you are stimulated by this information, you will definitely have your own interpretation of this information, including the situation of the site environment.

At this time, you want your friends to help you deal with mice, so there are many choices for the starting point of constructing meaning, such as "catching mice", "opening windows to let mice leave the room" and "killing mice".

What you want to express depends on which starting point you use to interpret this information, which is related to your ideological foothold.

When you can't find a suitable starting point to construct and express your meaning, even if you have relevant knowledge reserves in your brain, you are still "cooking jiaozi in a teapot-you can't pour it out with goods in your stomach".

4, you lack the expression framework of constituent sentences.

When you have an impression, an interpretation and a starting point for constructing and expressing meaning, why not say something nice? This involves your language organization ability.

We translate information into language through the Sports Language Center. Behind it is the supporting mechanism, which is our language structure. This language structure is gradually developed in a specific language environment, including language pronunciation, grammatical rules, semantic understanding, sentence patterns and so on.

If you grew up in a taciturn environment, the language structure is not as good as that of a person who grew up in a chat environment. Therefore, there is a reason why Wei Xiaobao, who is eloquent, was born and raised in Li Chunyuan by Jin Yong.

When your language structure is not rich enough, a lot of things you want to say, because you can't find the corresponding expression framework, so you have a feeling that you can't always say what you want to say, or it is inappropriate.

But this expression structure, in addition to continuous accumulation, also needs deliberate practice to consolidate.

Some people express themselves well in words, but they don't speak fluently enough, because the written language center is responsible for the former and the motor language center is responsible for the latter, which are two areas of the brain.

No matter how hard you try to exercise your writing ability, you will only exercise your writing language center, not your sports language center.

If you want to exercise your motor language center, you must speak it often and improve its ability.

So you will find it easy to chat in words on the Internet, because you have time to think or organize your expression framework, choose the right words and say what you mean.

In real life, there is not so much time for you to choose the appropriate expression framework, and the dialogue is only completed in a short time.

If your expression framework is not rich enough, or it is not consolidated into your "expression instinct", for example, some words need to be searched frequently to come up with them, then your expression ability will be limited. Just like when driving, you have to figure out which accelerator to step on and when to shift gears. Can you drive a good car?

In other words, the so-called eloquence training is to accumulate your expression frames and turn them into your expression instinct and a part of your language structure through constant practice.

The above four reasons will be encountered by anyone at some time, including those who are eloquent. It's just that experts can find solutions faster, and we ordinary people don't have to pursue such professionalism. We just try to improve these problems and not be dragged down by them to our expression.

Is there any way to improve these problems and improve our expressive ability?

The information input to the brain can be dynamic or static. You passively accept the former, and you actively accept the latter.

In other words, you have two ways to interpret information. One is to passively receive information and interpret it; The other is to actively capture relevant information and interpret it.

For example, suddenly a stone was thrown at you, and you said in surprise, "Are you kidding?"? How can you throw stones everywhere? " ? What if I hurt someone? "This is an interpretation after passively accepting information.

But if you see a stone and then connect it with other things and get some meaning, this is the interpretation after actively capturing information.

For example, what are the characteristics of this stone? What can you think of? From its hard characteristics, or from its use?

After synthesizing these explanations, you can find a suitable starting point to construct the meaning you want to express, such as:

"This stone looks very ordinary, as if it is useless. But in fact, if you find it with your heart, it can have many uses. For example, like Sima Guang, use it to smash the water tank to save people. When there is no hammer, use it to nail nails, or use it as a mark for some items, or even as a weapon.

Since an ordinary stone has so many uses, let alone a person? So, if you feel useless, maybe you still have some advantages that you can't see. Never deny your own value easily. "

Of course, if these words are not your usual expression framework, if you want to speak them fluently and become your "expression instinct", you have to practice them in private.

Talking to yourself is a good exercise method.

When I take a shower every day, I am alone in the bathroom, actively capturing some information and interpreting it. After I get the impression, I will speak for about ten minutes.

When you take a bath, your eloquence is also exercised.

For some people, it will be difficult to say this passage in an orderly way.

When you want to say a long paragraph, it's best to say it in a certain expression framework.

If we take "stone" as an example, we can extract an expression framework, that is, the similarity of "the characteristics of object A-the comparison of object B-association * * *", that is, first say that an ordinary stone itself has multiple uses, and then compare it with people to connect people with multiple uses, so as to get the theme of "Don't deny your own value easily".

According to this expression framework, you can practice "white paper" and "success" now. Can you say something? Tell the characteristics of the white paper first, then compare these characteristics with success, and finally get the meaning you want to bring out.

In the process of impromptu speech, this is a way of thinking and speaking. Because what you said is within this framework, what you think will not deviate from the theme, and at the same time, it can ensure that what you say will have a logical order.

There is a frame that limits you. For example, if you talk about the characteristics of white paper, as long as every sentence you think of is about the characteristics of white paper within this framework, there is no need to pay attention to the layout of sentences as much as writing articles, and you can mix them freely at will.

You can say, "A blank piece of paper has nothing on it, because there are no fetters, so there are all kinds of possibilities in it. What you want to draw on it depends on yourself. "

You can also say, "There is nothing on a blank sheet of paper. What you want to draw on it is up to you. Because there is no embarrassment, this piece of white paper means all kinds of possibilities. "

In this sentence arrangement, you can say whatever comes to mind first. As long as the content is not divorced from the framework and the overall framework is arranged in a logical order, then you can say anything in the framework. If it's not good, just transfer the next sentence back.

Many people are afraid to speak because they think that if they want to speak well, they must organize the order of each sentence and form a paragraph. In fact, when using spoken English, as long as your overall expression is a direction, then the order of each sentence should not be too persistent.

So if you think of a sentence, then say it, think and say it according to a certain purpose of expression, you can cope with impromptu speech in some cases.

It is our usual expression to say what comes to mind. Now, just letting you continue to think and speak within a certain framework will give people a more central feeling than nonsense. This is the advantage of the expression framework.

So how do you get this framework?

This expression framework can be a "draft" you typed in advance, or it can be an expression habit you have formed.

The former requires you to prepare the relevant framework in advance, while the latter requires you to speak more and practice more in your daily life, which will become your expression instinct.

For example, to attend a friend's wedding, you should go on stage and say a few good words to him. What do you say at this time? After all, this kind of thing doesn't happen often, and it's hard to turn the speech in this situation into your own expression instinct.

Faced with this situation, you need to build an expression framework for yourself and make a draft in advance.

As mentioned above, you should take the initiative to capture the existing relevant information and then interpret it, including the scene environment, your own impression, your emotional memories with friends and so on.

Taken together, you can make a framework: tell your feelings-your experiences with friends-your views on his marriage-and finally send you my best wishes.

So you can say: "

Thank you. I didn't expect to be invited to speak on stage. I'm a little nervous! However, I am still happy to share the interesting things between me and the groom on the stage.

I have known the groom for more than ten years and almost grew up together. I know how many times he goes to the toilet a day, and he is often taken care of by our good friends. If it were not for his sincerity and kindness, we would not pay attention to him.

Now seeing him get married and become someone else's husband, I am really happy for him, because he has finally grown up and knows how to take care of others, that is, the bride. A handsome and practical groom and a beautiful and generous bride are a match made in heaven.

So here, I wish the bride and groom a hundred years of harmony and unity. Of course, the most important thing is to have children early! Thank you! "

According to this expression framework, construct meaning for the purpose within the framework, say what comes to mind and speak like this. Is the expression more purposeful and knowledgeable?

Express freely, as long as you think this framework can be used in other weddings, you can use it; If you don't need it, you can make an expression frame yourself, or actively accumulate relevant frames.

Self-introduction has a framework of self-introduction, work report has a framework of work report, and news report has a framework of news report. If you don't understand, continue to accumulate.

When you face different speech situations, there are related expression frames, so what remains to be done is to exercise more in your daily life.

1, reading aloud will be of great help to improve your fluency. If you want your tongue to react faster, read more different articles.

If you want to make your writing deeper, accumulation is an indispensable way. Read more books, broaden your horizons and be a conscientious person in life, and you will learn more.

3. Retelling is a way to help extract and digest the frame. I usually see an article, consciously extract keywords from it, form an expression framework, and then repeat it in my own language according to this framework. Over time, your thinking and language organization skills will certainly make great progress.

Don't neglect to improve your psychological quality. The quality of psychological quality will affect how you express yourself. Try to cultivate a confident, generous and comfortable attitude to speak, and try to reduce the influence of negative or negative emotions.

5. The motor language center needs constant exercise before it becomes our life instinct. As long as you have time, seize the opportunity to exercise yourself, improve your sensitivity to speaking, and stick to it, you will not be afraid to speak.
