No, it's just the language classes practicing the unfamiliar sounds of a foreign tongue. People must understand one another to be com- patible, and since language remains as the basis of human communication, learning anotherls lan- guage is a step towards better understanding and world peace.

S lric tl y Speaking Be energetic, be enthusiastic, and above all, be prepared, are familiar statements to speech and debate students. These three facts are emphatically stressed, and if carried out effectively, a person will not only be a successful speaker, but a success in life as well.
