Fluent English Speaking - Basics of Good English Speaking You Need To Consider

All the orators, and writers (in prose and poetry) mentioned in the foregoing lines, along with Carlyle, Ruskin, Stevenson, Thomas Hardy, Wordsworth, Macaulay, Milton, Tennyson, Goldsmith and many others, whose writings are even now taken as standard of best English have scrupulously paid attention in maintaining simplicity, depth and educative value in their works.

Shakespeare is looked upon as the Father of Good English and a student desiring to have mastery over English does not fail to study his dramas (both tragedies and comedies); his famous tragedies such as Caesar Hamlet, Macbeth and the comedies which include Romeo and Juliet, Twelfth Night, Merchant of Venice, As You Like It etc. As said before, simplicity is the first external requirement of good English, as it enables the common man to understand the language. When a man understands a language he appreciates the meaning of a speech or of a written passage. A high toned language falls flat on the audience or the readers.Below are given a specimen of simple written sentences, and in a long sentence containing clauses and phrases, having the subject and the predicate far apart and thus causing the hearer or reader to scratch his head to analyse it and then make out its meaning.
Sir Issac Newton discovered a law in nature. The law tells us that every particle of matter in the universe draws other particles towards it. Further, he found that this force of attraction is proportionate to its mass and distance.

Here there are different simple sentences having subjects and predicate near each other and thus they enable the hearer or reader to understand their meaning easily.

Look at the same passage with clauses. Sir Isaac Newton, after deep meditation, discovered that there is a law in nature, called attraction, by virtue of which every particle of matter that the world is composed of, draws towards itself every other particle of matter with a force that is proportional to its mass and distance. This is a complex sentence having five clauses. Naturally it goes hard with a common man to analyse the sentence and then to understand its full meaning.
