It also helps when presenting research findings, delivering speeches, or defending arguments.

    Secondly, good oral skills allow you to convey your thoughts, ideas, and emotions clearly and effectively to others. Whether in personal relationships, professional settings, or public speaking engagements, being able to express yourself fluently and articulately helps you connect with others and get your message across.
