Learn How to Speak Better By Listening to By Listening to Better Speakers

One of the best ways to learn how to speak better is by listening to better speakers. As I was growing up, the speakers that I listened to the most were preachers. And most of them were old, which means their vocabulary was much better. They didn't call a thing a thing. They would use some other word. For instance, Dr. B.R. lakin, when he talked about God creating everything out of nothing, he said, who.

Was it that put the moon and the sun in the heavens and decked the heavens with the stars and smoothed out a chaotic earth and scooped out a place with his hand and put the water in it, tied it down with the rope of sand and called it oceans? Who was it to put a garment of greed over the valleys and the mountains and the hills and buttoned it up with lilies and garlands and wove it with laughing daffodils? That's the God, my friend, I serve.

That's what I learned from Br? Lakin. I don't have to just say, and God created everything. There it is.
