A man of simple living and high thinking, the distinguished speaker enthralled the audience with a thought-provoking lecture on the magical quality of the English language. He stressed on the flexibility of the language, bequeathed to us by the British. The need to master and perfect this language that has attained universal value, has become as vital as the air we breathe. Of course, it is highly impossible to define the language and its various aspects rationally, as it is highly inflected and flexible . With the changing trends in lifestyles, coinages have come into being, and the speaker introduced to the audience two new words like vidiots and shoulder-surfing, terms associated with the web world. Improving one’s vocabulary was imperative.
His advice to the young engineers was that they must practice the ABC of English language – Accuracy, Brevity and Clarity – if they aspired to reach the zenith in their professional career. |
