What are the good topics that I can choose in sociolinguists for my BA thesis? Hello, italki friends. I'm currently struggling with my thesis topic. My general direction is sociolinguists because  that's  where my interest lies in although I haven't did enough reading about it. I need to narrow it down to a specific topic so that I can start prep work. I've listed some topics that I'm interested in for instance  phonetic, dialect and slangs .but I think I need some suggestions from others. Thanks

Business English

I'm preparing for the next year Cambridge Business English Higer Certificate in May.  At the moment, the spoken part is my biggest headache , because I don't have a partner to practice with ,and what's more important is that I'm not really familiar with these whole company topics ,(I study English teaching ). So, I wonder if anyone has any practical tips . Thanks.

Let's chat in game.

Recently, I 've been playing Rules of Survival (like a mobile version of PUBG) and meet a lot of native English speakers on there. I think that's one good way to practice your spoken English if you are not living in English speaking countries . I usually play in North America server,where usually lots of Americans there. You can also choose other server like Europe,Latin America or Asia or Japan according to your target language. I want to be clear that chatting in game won't be able to help you with your language in a systematic way. But it's definitely will give you the chance to speak and improve your listening ability. 

Anyway,I'd be glad if you add me there.DM me and I'll give you my username. Let's talk and have fun :))

vocal fry and uptalk

I have some questions basd on a video about some popular American accent that I've watched recently.


Q1. Why do so many American females like to do that "vocal fry"?

Q2. Will it  sounds stupid or less intelligent if a person speaks with a high rise terminals(uptalk)?

Q3. Is it appropriate to use "vocal fry & uptalk" or words like "like, as if, literally, totally" except for situations like interviews or academic speech? 

Q4.What it'll sounds like if non-native speakers imitate this kind of accent, local or weird?

Thanks.

Where There's a Will,There is a Way (native speaker are welcomed to give comments and corrections) "Where there is a will,there is a way" is an ancient proverb that states the fundamental role of "will" plays in one's way to success.To put it in another way,will is your determination of accomplishing a task and your perseverance of achieving a goal. It is undeniable that a strong will is a indispensable factor in one's success. First and foremost,if a person wants to make a great achievement in career,he or she must persist in what he or she is doing and hold firm on his or her own belief. Generally speaking,eighty percent of the failure are due to lacking of a strong will,and eighty percent of the failure can find many excuses for the masses they've made. However,only a few people can really match word to deed and rekindle their confidence after be defeated again and again. What's more,once you 've reached to a goal with such a will,you'll be brave and confident enough to face any difficulties you may encounter in your life. From this, we can say that nothing is impossible with a willing heart. If you 've set a goal to obtain something really matters for you,you must have a what doesn't kill you make your stronger sprit. Only when you dedicate all your efforts to doing this,can you elbow a way and climb to the top of the mountain. If the full score is 10,how many scores could i get? Looking forward to your corrections ,thank you!
