However,<br> English speakers use about eight hundred words for everyday communication. The rest of the English words are not in common use or belong to a specific context exclusively,<br> for example,<br> the medical terms or the technical language of engineering studies.\r\n\r\nOratory abilities can come in handy in a large group of situations: sometimes we have to make a speech in front of an audience,<br> sometimes we have to defend an academic thesis or give a class. In all those cases the vocabulary we use has a strong impact on the quality of our speech.\r\n<h2>Formal Vs informal<\/h2>\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/img.whaleshares.io\/wls-img\/alcidescadiz\/34b08251499902276bf1ea35612f06012820bf58.png\" \/><br\/>\r\n\r\n<center><sub><a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/es\/traje-de-negocios-negocio-hombre-690048\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Image Source<\/a><\/sub><\/center>Neither the opportunities in which we have to talk to an audience are planned,<br> nor the listeners always have the same characteristics.\r\n\r\nOur speech can be considered \"informal\" if we have to make a speech for an unplanned event,<br> it also happens when the organization of an event isn't full of protocol. If that's the case,<br> the speaker would dress as he or she considers appropriate for the occasion. Also,<br> the language that the speaker should use could include these techniques: speak familiarly with your audience,<br> make funny jokes,<br> use colloquial expressions... In other words,<br> when speaking in an informal event we should communicate with a simpler language. It is not necessary to include specialized vocabulary,<br> exact technicalities or social formalities.\r\n\r\nThe formality of an event usually depends on its protocol strictness. For example,<br> the defense of an academic thesis or a project presentation for a company. Those are cases that require \"formality\" in the dressing style and speech. Although you can laugh and manifest a happy attitude,<br> jokes are not welcome when it comes to formal presentations,<br> neither are rude manners nor burlesque tone. The speaker must maintain composure and use a specialized vocabulary according to the speech subject.\r\n\r\nThe characteristic of the audience will determine if the speaker is free to use a simpler language or,<br> on the other hand,<br> have to adjust his lexicon according to the speech theme.\r\n\r\n<center><img src=\"https:\/\/whaleshares.io\/imageupload_data\/cbb23a8f43df1488f721acbb28a54e3c56032d19\" alt=\"separador new.png\" \/><br\/><\/center>\r\n<h2>Which type of audience is listening you?<\/h2>\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/img.whaleshares.io\/wls-img\/alcidescadiz\/813a35bad188e3caff4fee906096c66ec909928d.png\" \/><br\/>\r\n\r\n<center><sub><a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/es\/lugar-de-trabajo-equipo-1245776\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Image Source<\/a><\/sub><\/center>Is your audience composed of specialists on the topic you will speak about? Then the vocabulary you should use has to be specialized as well. In the case of an academic thesis defense,<br> the public who listen is an evaluating jury that has great mastery on the main topic of the speech,<br> in fact,<br> they probably know more about it than the speaker itself; In other words,<br> if a workshop is being given or is part of a series of lectures,<br> the public will be attentive to learn new terms,<br> perhaps some of those present already have prior knowledge of the topic. That's why the speaker always have to show respect for its listeners by using formal language,<br> including the technicalities of the main theme.\r\n\r\nAre your audience newbies on the topic to be discussed?Is your presentation made for people who want a general knowledge of the subject to be presented? If so,<br> we should use a simpler language,<br> avoiding the excess technicalities. In this way,<br> the public will easily process the new concepts because the information will be presented simple and clean,<br> without unknown words that require an extra effort of understanding.\r\n\r\nUsing simple language that can be easily understandable for anyone will reassure your audience. It will prevent them from suffering mental dullness while listening to you. However,<br> it also depends on how much time you have to complete your speech. The use of complex concepts will come in handy when you need to save some minutes.\r\n\r\n<center><img src=\"https:\/\/whaleshares.io\/imageupload_data\/cbb23a8f43df1488f721acbb28a54e3c56032d19\" alt=\"separador new.png\" \/><br\/><\/center><img src=\"https:\/\/img.whaleshares.io\/wls-img\/alcidescadiz\/e101a0cccb033b6ada98cdebe2537dd71f48c463.png\" \/><br\/>\r\n\r\n<center><sub><a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/es\/libro-la-lectura-leer-relajaci%C3%B3n-791824\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Image Source<\/a><\/sub><\/center>\r\n<h2>How to increase your vocabulary?<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n <li>There are no shortcuts,<br> no tricks and no quick way to increase Your lexicon.
