Speaking is the delivery
of language through the
mouth. To speak, we
create sounds using
many parts of our body,
including the lungs,
vocal
tract,
vocal
chords, tongue, teeth
and lips.
Speaking can be formal or informal.
◎ Informal
speaking
is
typically used with family
and friends, or people you
know well.
◎ Formal speaking occurs in
business or academic
situations,
or
when
meeting people for the first
time.
