☆  boost 強化する

============================

If one thing books another, it causes it to increase, improve, or be more successful. For example, the government might take action to boost the economy. Or an author might do some marketing to boost the sales of their book.

You could also take action to boost your confidence when speaking English. What kinds of things could you do? Here are some ideas I think you can use to boost your confidence when you speak in English:

Use your body language! Stand up straight, use eye contact, smile, and speak at a good volume (rather than too quietly.)

Maybe you worry that your pronunciation isn’t great, you can boost your confidence by aiming to speak clearly instead of perfect pronunciation. Have you ever seen the movie, My Fair Lady? In it, she learns to speak clearly, by having marbles in her mouth!

What else can you do to boost your confidence when speaking English?

Bye,
