I must say, among the numerous videos I've come across, yours stands out as the best-short and easy to understand. Your dedication to providing valuable and straightforward information is truly appreciated. On another note, I find myself facing a challenge and would greatly appreciate your assistance. I am currently working on drafting my Statement of Purpose (SOP), and I was wondering if you could help me with proofreading it. Your expertise and a keen eye for clarity would be invaluable in ensuring that my SOP effectively conveys my intentions and aspirations. Best regards

    Hello , sir . Please would you check for me if this statement of the problem is correct : Speaking is the most effective way to communicate which is the primary goal of learning any language . Learners of any language must master the skill of speaking to be fluent speakers of the target language . Speaking fluently is challenged by numerous factors and one of them is self- confidence . Students with self low self - esteem face many difficulties . They are usually found to be extremely fearful and timid , so they move away from expressing their opinions .Some of them are even unable to utter a complete meaningful sentence in the class .In addition , they avoid taking the necessary risks to acquire the communicative competence in the target language . Consequently, this hinders the success of learners communicative performance. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of self - esteem on enhancing learners' speaking skill .

    A problem statement focuses on the specific issue you've identified and hope to resolve with your research. It comprises the research problem, claim, or working statement and the significance of your research. On the other hand, a thesis statement makes a specific claim or assertion open for debate.
