There are several steps you can take to improve your English fluency:

  1. Immerse yourself in the language: Watch English-language movies, television shows, and videos; listen to English-language music and podcasts; and read English-language books, articles, and news.
  2. Practice speaking: Find a conversation partner, join a conversation group, or take an English class to practice speaking and improve your pronunciation.
  3. Learn English grammar and vocabulary: Study English grammar and vocabulary regularly, and practice using new words and grammar structures in your speaking and writing.
  4. Learn to listen: Practice listening to native English speakers and try to understand the words and sentences they use.
  5. Have patience: Remember that learning a new language takes time and practice, so be patient with yourself and don't get discouraged if you make mistakes.

    6. It's also important to note that fluency is not always a binary state, it's a gradual process, and you can improve your fluency through regular practice and exposure to the language.

    Coherence refers to the quality of being logically and functionally connected, consistent, and orderly. In terms of language, coherence refers to the connection and flow of ideas in a piece of writing or speech. A coherent text or speech is one in which the ideas are clearly presented and are logically connected to each other. It means that the sentences and paragraphs within a text or speech are related to each other, and they work together to convey a clear and consistent message. A cohesive text is one where the sentences are connected by the use of appropriate linking words, pronouns, and other grammatical devices.

    In summary, coherence is the quality of being clear, consistent, and logical in thought, ideas or expression. It is the ability of the listener or reader to understand the message being conveyed and to follow the progression of ideas.

    There are several things you can do to become a good speaker:

    1. Practice: The more you speak, the more comfortable and confident you will become. This can be done through conversation with native speakers, giving presentations, or joining a public speaking group.
    2. Prepare your material: Make sure you understand the topic or material you will be speaking about and organize your thoughts in a logical and clear manner.
    3. Speak clearly and enunciate: Speak at a moderate pace, and clearly enunciate your words to make it easier for your audience to understand you.
    4. Use body language: Use appropriate gestures and facial expressions to emphasize your points and to help engage your audience.
    5. Practice active listening: Listen to other speakers and pay attention to their techniques, and then try to incorporate those techniques into your own speaking.
    6. Be yourself: Speak in your own unique voice, and don't try to copy the speaking styles of others.
    7. Be engaged with the audience: Engage with the audience and make them feel comfortable, try to be interactive, ask questions and wait for the answers.
    8. Be open to feedback: Listen to feedback from others and use it to improve your speaking skills.

      9. Remember that being a good speaker also means being able to connect with the audience and adapt to the audience's needs and interests.

      It's also important to note that becoming a good speaker takes time and practice. It's a process that requires a continuous effort and self-evaluation.
