Alex: Sounds peaceful. I’d love to see your work someday.

Maya: Sure! I’ll show you some pictures on my phone later.

Anna:
Hi David! How are you today?

David:
Hi Anna! I am good, thank you. How are you?

Anna:
I am fine too. I want to speak English better. But sometimes I feel shy.

David:
I understand. Speaking a new language can be hard. But you are doing a good job.

Anna:
Thank you! I want to feel more confident. What can I do?

David:
You can practice speaking every day. Even small sentences can help.

Anna:
That is a good idea. Should I practice alone or with someone?

David:
Both are good. You can speak alone first. Then try speaking with a friend or family member.

Anna:
Okay. I can speak with my husband. He is learning English too.

David:
That is perfect! You can help each other. Also, try to think in English.

Anna:
Think in English? How can I do that?

David:
Start with easy things. When you see a chair, think, "This is a chair." When you drink water, think, "I am drinking water."

Anna:
Oh, that sounds easy. I will try it today.

David:
Good! Remember, speak slowly and clearly. It is okay to make mistakes.

Anna:
Thank you, David. I feel better now. I will keep practicing every day.

David:
You are welcome, Anna. You are doing great. Just keep going!
