AN ARTICULATE TRILINGUAL ORATOR

Jamila Lyiscott in her speech Tree Way to Speak English explains how she is an articulate person and how she can speak easily and clearly tree different languages and tree different accents. In her speech, she explains how she uses to speak these accents in different comments and different places. For instance, she speaks about English that she daily speaks with friends, which is different from what she speak with family and, which also, is different from what she speak with her colleague. She explains that Americans tend to judge the way others sound (when black people speak broken English, for instance), and thinking that this is not the proper way to speak English properly without knowing that they will sound foolish to the British. She also points out another reason why she is articulate and, that is because, she kind of feels obliged to have these tree accents while her own language has been raped away along the history.

Hi Toure, let’s focus on structural things here. You write: Jamila Lyiscott in her speech Tree Way to Speak English explains how she is an articulate person and how she can speak easily and clearly tree different languages and tree different accents.

The way you’ve structured this sentence is you’ve got the subject JAMILA, then a prepositional phrase IN HER SPEECH, then a verb, then a direct object HOW SHE IS, then another VERB, then another Direct object, then an adverb EASILY, another adverb CLEARLY, and then a direct object. The issue here is, you don’t want to have this kind of order. You almost always want different verbs attached to different direct objects to be separated into different sentences. You also want adverbs to come BEFORE the verb that they’re modifying. Finally, it’s easier to follow if you have your prepositional phrase START the sentence. See how it would look revised:

In her speech, Three Ways to Speak English, Jamila Lyiscott explains how she is an articulate person. She also explains how can easily and clearly speak three different languages in three different accents.

Do you want to try revising another sentence here, paying attention to structure?
