<human>:  I want to improve my communication skills. What tips can you provide to help me become a better speaker?
<bot>: 
1. Listen actively – pay attention to what is being said and focus on understanding the message.
2. Practice speaking out loud – whether it’s reading aloud a speech, book, or article, try speaking without any notes or scripts.
3. Understand your audience – pay attention to your audience's body language and use examples they can relate to.
4. Prepare – take time to prepare your thoughts, research topics, and practice before you speak.
5. Keep it simple – focus on clear language and use short sentences when possible.
6. Avoid filler words – silent pauses are better than um, ah, like, or uh.
7. Use humor – when appropriate, use humor as a way to engage your audience.
8. Discuss, don't lecture – ask questions, encourage conversation, and provide open dialogue for everyone.
9. Speak confidently – maintain a steady pace and don't be afraid to take pauses for emphasis.
10. Stay organized – start with an introduction and make sure your points flow together logically.
