A person who speaks too quickly is not always well understood by others. They just don't have time to follow his thoughts. In addition, the habit of chattering is very often accompanied by other speech defects. The speaker is not very clear in pronouncing some sounds, which makes understanding even more difficult. This is especially important for those who work with people, be it a kindergarten, school or office worker who has to communicate with clients. It is necessary to get rid of excessive speed.
It is necessary
- - a book of prose;
- - children's books;
- - stopwatch;
- - a collection of tongue twisters;
- - a collection of speech therapy exercises, if required.
Instructions
Step 1
When you hear a question, take your time with an answer. Count to at least ten. During this time, you will have time not only to think about what to say, but also to choose the right intonations. This is especially important if there is a serious conversation and a lot depends on your words.
Step 2
Learn to listen to the other person without interrupting. Do not rush to interfere, even if something has hurt you. When a person listens carefully and ponders someone else's speech, he intuitively begins to respond more slowly than usual.
Step 3
Time yourself out and read an excerpt from a story. For the purity of the experiment, choose a piece that you know well. Repeat the exercise, trying to read the same passage over a longer period of time. This will work if you speak the words clearly and clearly. Do these tasks every day.
Step 4
It is very good if there are small children in the house. Talk to them often and read books to them. When talking to a child, an adult intuitively begins to pronounce words slowly and clearly. Otherwise, the child simply will not understand him. Try to read with expression, clearly placing emphasis and emphasizing meaning. Try to talk with adults at the same pace as with children. This is very helpful for office workers who often have to deal with not-too-balanced clients.
Step 5
Do not abuse your mobile phone. It was a mobile phone that taught very many people to speak quickly. A person wants to say as much as possible in a minimum period of time, since money is withdrawn from the account for every second. This habit remains even if you switched to an unlimited plan. Therefore, try to call only on business.
Step 6
A theater studio or an art reading club can be of great benefit. In the theater studio, stage speech is necessarily taught. The habit of pronouncing words clearly, speaking intelligibly and at an average pace remains with the actor in ordinary life, even if he did not study in the studio for very long. In the art reading circle, they will teach you how to correctly arrange intonations and, again, speak clearly and calmly.
Step 7
It's hardly worth running to a speech therapist right away. Do this if, after speaking at a slow pace, you find that you still have some speech defects. Very often, those who speak quickly do not clearly pronounce hissing ones - the vocal apparatus simply does not have time to adjust to the desired sound. Try a few exercises. Imagine that your tongue is a cup. Give him this position. Relax him. Repeat the exercise ten times and do it every day.
Step 8
There are a few more exercises with the "cup". Imagine licking something tasty from your upper lip. Repeat this exercise at least a dozen times. You can simply slide out and slide in the "cup". If you don't pronounce other sounds clearly, choose the appropriate exercise.
Step 9
The tongue twisters are very helpful. True, in this case, "tongue twisters in the opposite direction" are obtained. You already know how to pronounce them quickly. Try to do it slowly and clearly. Most likely, it will not come out right away, but it will certainly work if you control yourself.
