Jules Renard

The greatest virtue of an orator is not only to say what is necessary, but also not to say what is not necessary.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Leo Tolstoy

«As a man is, so is his speech»

Socrates

“We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.”

Epictetus

My name is Andrei Shcheglov and today in our class we will learn about the art of communication. I will tell you why it is so important to be able to hear and to be able to express your thoughts clearly and correctly.
