　　Human beings had used speech as a means of communication long before writing was invented.Writing represents，or symbolizes the sounds we make when we speak.Written language is usually more formal than speech.In a typical conversation，a speaker will stop and start，leave a sentence unfinished，and say “er” or “um” when thinking about what to say next.Written language，by contrast，is much tidier and more organized.If you were to write down exactly what people were saying in a casual conversation，you would end up with a very ragged and untidy piece of writing.Also，in a conversation，speakers often predict what someone is about to say next，and interrupt，or talk briefly，at the same time as another person.
　　When you spea can add color to what you say in a number of ways.You can mar voice louder so that it will carry and have real impact；you can stress certain important words or phrases so that your listeners pay special attention to them；you can alter your tone，mar voice rise and fall as you spea can alter the pace at which you speak，speeding up or slowing down to mar speech more interesting.Experienced public speakers become expert at using these techniques.In everyday speech using these techniques naturally makes for lively and interesting conversation.
　　Language can be formal or informal.Slang，which is a form of language consisting of words made up or changed in meaning for effect，is the most informal；colloquial language，which is everyday speech，is less informal.The most formal language is the type used in a court of law.
　　It is important not to confuse slang and dialect.Dialect is a way of speaking that belongs to a particular locality.For instance，the Alabama，USA，is a kind of dialect.
　　Language is one of the finest achievements of the human race.It can be used or abused，but it has enormous power to influence.A_world_without_language_would_not_be_the_world_that_we_know_today．
