And now the question for knowledge:
One of these interesting but completely unnecessary facts is fiction. Guess which one?
Anna BasisMan is an exceptional creature. It's not news that the human body is a complex and intricate system, right? Body parts and everyday functions are fraught with amazing facts. The human body is not fully understood. Consider 15 most interesting facts about a person, his body and organs.
What do we know about our body?
Human brain- the most complex and not fully explored part of anatomy. The brain uses the same energy as a 10 watt light bulb. This internal organ never rests and works more actively at night than during the day. The human brain uses 20% oxygen present in the blood. At 170 miles per hour, nerve impulses travel from and to the brain. 80% human brain is made up of water, so when you feel like you're dehydrated, drink water to keep your brain healthy. Scientists noted that there is a connection between the brain and body weight: in women, for every kg of body there is 22 g of the brain, and in men - 20 g. In women, in the brain of the head white matter 10 times more than men. In men, the gray matter is 6.5 times more than in the fairer sex. 
Why biological knowledge and terms, the basics of geography, historical facts, dates and events, including in Russia, is it useful for a modern literate person to know? - precisely for the development and maintenance of the brain in an efficient state for many years.
They are inanimate parts of the body, but people watch them carefully and for a long time. A person loses 60 to 100 strands of hair every day... It depends on the different factors: season, pregnancy, age, disease. Female hair has a thickness equal to about half the diameter male hair... You need to know for overall development: blondes sung by various tales and anecdotes have more hair, and their hair is very thin and thick. Sparse and thick hair - in red-haired people, the "golden mean" is brown-haired and brunettes. Average life span hair in humans is in the range from 3 to 7 years. Brown-haired beards grow more slowly than men with blond hair.
The fastest growing nail is the nail on the middle toe. Interesting, isn't it? Compared to toenails, toenails grow four times slower. Everyone noticed that in warm weather, nails grow much faster... Do not torture yourself with different diets - they will lead to the fact that the growth of nails stops, and they become brittle and thin.
The largest organ of the body is the skin... For an adult, its area is 2 m2. The health of a person is judged by the condition of the skin. So, acne on the chin speaks of a malfunction of hormones in the body, acne on the forehead - about diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and the digestive system. The skin performs respiratory, tactile, heat exchange, regenerating and cleansing functions. The thinnest skin layer (0.5 mm) is located on the eardrums and eyelids, and the thickest - on the soles of the feet (0.5 cm). During the day, the skin secretes approximately 1 liter of sweat and 20 g of fat, creating a protective film on the skin. 
How fast are we sneezing? Right, 100 mph. For this reason when sneezing it is impossible to keep your eyes open... But, if you support the eyelids with your hands, then this can be. This is an excuse to cover your mouth when sneezing.
Having a big snack is not recommended to go to a music concert. Why? Yes, for one good reason. Dense food works by ear and it becomes less perfect. 
Men smell worse than women. From birth in women, receptors are much better than in men. Therefore, the fairer sex remains the best scent tasters for the rest of their lives. According to research, women are able to identify the smell more correctly. So, they more clearly define coffee, citrus, vanilla, cinnamon aromas. Newborns recognize maternal scent. People are also able to detect the smell of familiar people. Part of the smell depends on the food, external environment, various hygiene products and genetics.
A person will manage without food more time than without sleep. Up to 60 days a person can live without food if water exists. It also depends on some factors, such as the amount of fat in the body. But if a person does not sleep, after sleepless nights there will be changes in his psychology. A person can stay 11 days without sleep- exactly this long time, which the experimenter experienced on himself. After this time, he could not speak normally, had hallucinations and forgot about his actions.
Amazing About Pregnancy and Newborns
You know…? Below are listed almost everything that absolutely everything novice mothers need to know - so, a must-have list of facts about a baby in the womb and newly born crumbs:
Fingerprints in a newborn appear during pregnancy in the third month of life. They are imprinted for life.
Your long-awaited baby can cry while in the womb.
Talk to your baby during pregnancy... Research by scientists in the UK showed that children with whom mothers talked about adult topics were different high level intelligence. Chat, consult with them, and ask questions in silence.
To facilitate childbirth, you need to sing... Since the hormone of happiness, endorphin, is released during singing, hearing the mother's singing calms down the child. So, by singing, reduce pain during contractions.
Does your baby need noise to fall asleep? Do not wonder. In the womb, the baby adapts to the noises of the body.
Scientists have refuted the hypothesis that in newborns things are mixed at one point and the world is perceived in a changed form. According to the studies carried out, it was found that the child sees the mother's face clearly.
Up to seven months, the child both breathes and swallows. He does all this at the same time. Adults cannot do that. Newborns breathe only through their nose.
When a human is born, at that moment there are 14 billion cells in the brain, which do not increase and after 25 years they contract by 100,000 per day.
300 bones are contained in the body of a newborn, while an adult has 206.
Unusual facts about sleep
Sleep is an extraordinary human condition. In a dream, people spend 1/3 of their lives.... This is the time when the brain processes and decides what to forget and what to remember from the extracted information of the day.
Get a good night's sleep before any major activity.
how you learned the tickets and go to bed quickly before memorizing. According to psychologists, a person's character can be judged by how he sleeps. People who sleep in a ball are fenced off from the world around them. The longest dream was recorded by D. Powell in 1994 - its duration was 3 hours 8 minutes, the man was examined in the American city of Seattle.
The essence of prophetic dreams is also extremely interesting. Scientists have long found that the cerebral cortex becomes less active when a person falls asleep. Until he knows about his illness, this news already exists in the affected blood cells. It is reproduced in the form of dreams and images. According to doctors, it is possible to predict a flu, a cold, 1 or 2 days before the appearance of its symptoms, and an ulcer - 2 to 3 weeks. During dream research, British professionals found that for a positive attitude, people should sleep 7 hours a day.
table chemical elements, which Mendeleev dreamed of - one of famous phenomena dreams in science
Professionals believe that this comes true when a person persistently solves a problem.
Psychological facts
You can hold focused attention for ten minutes.... So, attending a meeting, you will listen to a topic that the speaker tells very well and informatively. You keep your attention for up to 10 minutes, after which it decreases. Take a break for further retention.
We are unsuccessful predictors of the future... We overestimate our responses to future actions, whether positive or negative. Professionals have figured out an interesting thing: people think that positive events, such as marriage or getting a job, will do them better than they actually did. By the same analogy, it seems to us that negative events will cause more despondency, discouragement than it really is.
Many people think they can do several things at the same time. Scientists have proven that it is impossible. Why? The answer is simple. So, walking with a girlfriend and talking with her, the brain at this time focuses on one main function... It says that we are not able to think about two different things.
People feel much happier when they are busy.
Introduce you at the airport where you have to take your luggage. You need 10 minutes to get to this place. At the end of the term, you get in and take your suitcase. Please tell me how unrestrained do you seem to yourself? Now imagine that you reach this place in 3 minutes and wait 7 minutes to pick it up. In two cases, they spent 10 minutes, but were impatient and unhappy in all likelihood the second time. Thus, if a person believes that he does not need to be active, he is inactive. Although this conserves energy, but in case of doing nothing, we feel more unhappy... So go to work and do business.
Interesting and amazing facts about a person is unusually much, because human body and the mind is an unusually complex, truly unique biological machine, in which everything is connected with each other and with healthy body works harmoniously, clearly, in a balanced manner. Every minute, every hour, every day opens the world to man, and to the world of man - we still have a lot to learn about ourselves.
Conclusion
Interested in interesting and surprising factors? Then tune in to life positively, take everything positive from it, take care and keep your health. Study yourself and explore this limitless world, develop constantly and daily- make, for example, your own list: values incomprehensible words, clever articles, classic and modern poetry, Interesting Facts from history and elementary things that every educated person should know. Pick an area of interest and work through it - for example, formulate policy questions that every knowledgeable person should answer, and try to provide detailed, well-founded answers to them. Or 100 questions about animals / birds / fish, which any intelligent person should answer - whatever, if only life was interesting, varied, attractive at 20, 50, and 80 years old.
Good luck, pleasant mood and positive attitude!

All people want to appear very smart. More precisely, no one wants to look stupid. To be considered an intelligent person, you must learn to use Clever words... This is not at all as difficult as it might seem at first glance. Perhaps this is no more difficult than memorizing the words of some foreign language, especially since smart words, as a rule, turn out to be foreign, borrowed from other languages. Some famous people even tried to prohibit the use of smart words in Russian.
Say, to anyone foreign word you can pick up a primordially Russian analogue, that is, a synonym. For example, M. Gorky did not like the word "condensation", and he believed that the word "condensation" should be used instead. He, of course, too condensed paint in this case. And what is it really clever man will use Russian analogs of buzzwords?
Below is the short list smart words that you need. Interspersed with both smart and obscene words in your texts, you have every chance of being known as a person of broad views.
Regular list of buzzwords and expressions:
Idiosyncrasy is intolerance. My favorite word of the smart. In general, the term is medical, but you can use it everywhere and everywhere. For example: I have idiosyncrasy for fools!
Transcendental - abstract, abstract, academic, mental, speculative, mental, theoretical. Somewhere like that. Due to the breadth of the concept, it is recommended that the term be used widely, where necessary and where not.
Metaphysical is about the same as Transcendental. The term is good for answering a question, the essence of which you do not understand. For example, "How do you feel about scholasticism? - In a metaphysical sense?"
Scholasticism is a medieval philosophical movement. In my list of buzzwords, scholasticism is included by me solely because of the beautiful name.
Esotericism is a secret teaching. Nothing more is known about him.
Truism is a common opinion or saying. A typical example of a truism is "The Volga flows into the Caspian Sea."
Metrosexual is a euphemism for a homosexual. To be completely honest.
Euphemism is the replacement of harsh or harsh words and expressions with softer ones. Among the people, the phenomenon received a very biting and precise formulation: "There is an ass, but there is no word."
Sophistry is the ability to cunningly conduct debate. Juggling with words and concepts. For example: "Fuck you with your sophistry!"
Glossary is also a buzzword. Unfortunately, I always forget its meaning and therefore almost never use it. List of abbreviations and abbreviations.
Eclecticism is a combination of dissimilar views, ideas and theories. Euphemism of bad taste. For example: "He dresses so eclectically!"
Invectives - obscene, areal abuse, swearing. Often used in combination. Invective vocabulary.
Homogeneous - homogeneous. For example: "The homogeneity of this yoghurt is beyond doubt."
Gender - Sexual. Intergender, respectively - intersexual. A very favorite word in LJ.
Addiction is addiction. Ex. Internet addiction. Like mine.
Decadence is decadence. The term is good for evaluating any actions of any characters. For example: "What decadence!"
Congruence - very rich word... One of my favorites. It means a state of integrity and complete sincerity, when all parts of the personality work together in pursuit of one goal. Also often used with the prefix not. A very congruent word.
Hyperbole is an exaggeration. For example: "Don't exaggerate, please!"
Voluntarism is a doctrine that puts a volitional principle in the foundations of being. Nowadays, it is used as an evaluative term for a person's actions that you personally do not like. For example: "Vanya drank all the tequila. This is pure voluntarism!"
Ubiquists are plant and animal species found everywhere. Do not get carried away with this term, anyway no one knows it except you and me.
The cognitive dissonance- new information that is in conflict with the old knowledge available to man. The term was introduced into Russian use mainly by the writer Pelevin.
Epistemology is a theory of knowledge, the main part of philosophy, which considers the conditions and limits of the possibility of reliable knowledge. A very smart word. Unfortunately, it is rarely used.
The egocentric is self-loving. Such as we are all. It is important not to use the term in relation to your own person. Not accepted. Is that in order of self-irony.
You don't need fisting. This is from the areas of brutal debauchery. Just know what it is when you fist.
Guelphs and gibbelins - uwelfs - for the Pope and the Pope, gibbelins - for the emperor and nobles. In general, you do not need this either. You can hardly shine with erudition. There are few experts.
Newton's binomial is a formula for representing the power of the sum of two numbers. It is used, as a rule, as an expression of something complex as opposed to an uncomplicated one. For example: "I also have Newton's binomial!" = Pie shit!
Coherence is very beautiful word... (from the Latin cohaerens ≈ being in connection), the coordinated course of several oscillatory or wave processes in time, which manifests itself during their addition.
Frustration is disappointment. our life is a chain of frustrations. (Formally, "frustration" is not "disappointment" at all, but "tension."
Discourse - and so everyone knows, but the word is clever.
ADDICTION The English word addiction describes addiction, addiction, a way to escape from reality.
Addictions are not only alcoholism, gambling addiction, drug addiction, smoking. Psychologists assure: a similar mechanism of addiction among those who overeat, live and burn at work, adore extreme sport, hangs out on the Internet for days, loves creativity and ... falls in love.
Another thing is that the forms of addiction are divided into those acceptable by society, like workaholism or falling in love, and unacceptable, like excessive craving for alcohol.
AMPHIBOLICITY Amphibolicity is the ambiguity of a concept, its conflicting interpretation... As a rule, this word is rarely used - in dissertations, at court hearings, or in biochemical works. But it’s not bad at all to understand if someone says “this is amphibolic” or “the amphibolicity of this concept confuses me, because I adhered strictly to one line,” and you understand that this is all about the ambiguity of the concept you are discussing. VIZAVI "Frenchman" vis-a-vis in Russian can be an adverb ("sit vis-a-vis", that is, opposite each other), and a noun, moreover, masculine and female("My clever counterpart", "your beautiful counterpart"). As your counterpart, you have every right to name the one who is in front of you, with whom you are sitting face to face.
Idiosyncrasy What did Stirlitz mean when he said: "I have idiosyncrasy for rhyme"? The fact that he is completely devoid of a poetic gift. Modest, of course ... A word with ancient Greek roots (idos - "separate, special"; synkrasis - "confusion") long time it was familiar only to doctors, but it has become widely used as a synonym for the words "allergy", "rejection": "Yes, he has an idiosyncrasy for everything new!", "I have an idiosyncrasy for empty talk."
INSIGHT Translated from English "insight" literally means insight, insight. This concept is used in philosophy and psychology to convey insight, a sudden understanding of something that is not derived from past experience. So someone will say: "And then it dawned on me!" - and someone will proudly declare: "I had an insight!" COLLABORATION The unification of several equal, independent participants in order to achieve common goals in fashion, art, business, science and education is called collaboration (from the English collaboration). For example, at the end of March, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the fantastic Star Trek franchise, the cosmetics company MAC announced the release of the Star Trek beauty collection. The make-up options will be borrowed from the franchise's movie heroines and implemented with 25 limited edition products for lips, eyes and face. The start of sales is in August 2016.
CARRYLISM A phenomenon in which the interlocutor asks you a question, although he heard it perfectly. Why is he doing this? Scientists say that a person does this consciously or subconsciously in order to have more time to formulate an answer. They (or their colleagues) are still arguing about the origin of the word. Many associate him with the American politician John Kerry, who at the end of 2015 was unable to immediately answer the question of a Russian student and asked him again several times. If anyone wants to accuse you of being slow to answer, tell him that this is nothing more than a curry, and you need a couple of seconds to formulate an answer.
LIPOPHRENIC Remember this: "Do not touch me, old woman, I am in sorrow." It was not Ivan the Terrible who said this, but the lipophrenic. In more detail, a lipophrenic is a person who feels overwhelming sadness, melancholy and does not know the reasons for the appearance of this condition. Lipophrenia, which is also called apathy, depression, melancholy, usually appears from a long time alone, from routine activities or insufficient activity (which is important for modern youth), as well as from a lack of positive emotions. If you do not want to wear the not quite proud name "lipophrenic", do your favorite things more often, virtual communication prefer live, walk more in the fresh air.
NATIFORMA Have you come across stones in the shape of a heart or a tomato with a nose? If so, then you are halfway to realizing the word "natiform". But here is a more special case, because natiform is natural education shaped like female body or part of it. It could be a tree that you looked at from a certain angle and saw shoulders, breasts, waist, hips ... Or the rocks in the rock look so bizarre that they remind you of your ex. These are all natiforms.
PALINFRASIA Have you noticed some people that they repeat one word or phrase in almost every sentence? If not, you're in luck, and if you've met this, congratulate your friend: he has palinphrasia. It is not contagious, but it is absolutely unpleasant when in every sentence you will be told "sir" or "but I told you that ...". And so in a circle. As a result, you will not hear other words, you will lose the essence of the story and generally lose all interest in the conversation.
SYNERGY When this word is called, one usually recalls its arithmetic "formula": 1 + 1 = 3. Ancient Greek synergeia translates as "cooperation, commonwealth." It means an amazing effect that occurs when several subjects or objects interact. This cumulative effect exceeds the return on the actions of each participant in the process separately. An example of synergy: you have mastered a few secrets of applying concealer, and your friend knows all the ins and outs of mascara. By sharing life hacks, both of you, without losing your previous experience, will gain a new one, that is, you will grow up in the art of visage.
SOPHISTICS Philosophical movement in Ancient Greece, whose followers were famous for their ability to cleverly conduct scientific disputes, gave the name to verbal statements based on manipulation of facts, simplifications, violations of logic. Another sophist (from the ancient Greek sophia - "skill, skill, cunning invention, trick, wisdom, knowledge") is brilliantly able to prove the obvious absurdity: "Half-empty is the same as half-full. If the halves are equal, then the whole is also equal. Therefore, the empty is the same as the complete. " Therefore, in a figurative sense, sophistry is called any speech that is built on false conclusions, but disguises itself as correct, logical.
TUSHE The word “touchér” borrowed from the sports sphere (touchér in French - touch) brings a line to a certain dispute when one of the interlocutors admits the rightness, superiority of the other after a decisive argument or a verbal injection - suddenly you competed not in knowledge of the topic, but in wit ? Touchet, the argument is valid, as are fencing jabs or throws on the back of the wrestlers, performed according to all the rules.
FRUSTRATION Falling into a state of frustration (Latin frustratio - deception, failure, vain expectation) means experiencing a whole range of negative feelings due to the inability to achieve what you want. For example, you were planning a vacation at sea, you have already packed your suitcase, and suddenly the bosses are postponing your vacation a month later with a carrot and a whip because of an important project in which you cannot do without. Naturally, you feel anger, despair, anxiety, irritation, disappointment and despair ... Frequent experience of such states, psychologists say, spoils the character, strikes self-esteem.
EGOCENTRIC The namesake of the egoist egocentric (from the Latin words ego - "I" - and centrum - "center") is still not like him. The egocentric is focused on his own the inner world, point of view, interests, needs and does not notice others, but is able to "move", help others, hear them, if asked for support. Egocentrism in one way or another is inherent in everyone. The egoist sees other people's interests, but deliberately ignores them, opposes himself to others, always putting his person in the first place.
EXCESS Latin excessus means "exit, avoidance." In Russian, the word consonant with the "process" has two meanings. The first is an extreme manifestation of something: "This is not literature, but a graphomaniac excess!" The second - an emergency, a violation of the normal course of events: "Her gossip caused a real excess in the team."
ESCAPADA Daring, shocking, provocative, headstrong trick in the style of Salvador Dali, Lady Gaga or Miley Cyrus, for example, a rotten herring on a hat or a dress from raw meat, - this is an escapade. The French word escapade also has a second meaning - an adventure trip - which is not in demand in our language. Smart adjectives After nouns, it's time to see a dictionary of smart adjectives for every day and their meanings, because it is the presence of adjectives in your speech that will distinguish you from other interlocutors. Decorate your speech with little-known smart words, believe me: this will help you in all areas of life. Such unfamiliar intelligent words (and their meanings) will help increase your status both among friends and among colleagues.
UPSCALE Formed from English adjective upscale - "high quality, first class, exclusive". It characterizes the absolute embodiment of the desired properties in any object, object: upscale interior design, upscale sound, upscale image. VERBAL This adjective has nothing to do with a tree with fluffy buds, but very much even for our speech. Latin verbum translates as "word", therefore "verbal" is verbal, oral. For example, verbal thinking, verbal intelligence, verbal method. There is also the adjective "non-verbal" - which does not have verbal expression: non-verbal communication, non-verbal signals.
DEVIANT What do they mean when they talk about deviant behavior? French word deviation characterizes the deviation from the norm, whether it is the position of the compass needle, the course of an aircraft or sea vessel, as well as a feature of the human psyche. In other words, deviant behavior destroys the personality and health of someone who prefers an asocial lifestyle, and also causes moral and material harm to others.
COGNITIVE Translated from Latin, cognitio is knowledge, cognition. The adjective "cognitive" describes a person's ability to acquire knowledge, cognize the world and myself. This psychological term would not have been so popular without its French companion: dissonance means "discord, disharmony, inconsistency." It turns out a kind of situation "mine yours do not understand", when the previous experience, already accumulated knowledge collide with new information, new circumstances. In your head, there are two opposite ideas about the same thing at once. Let's say your friend emphasizes that he values punctuality very much, you like it, and at the same time, you do not remember a single meeting when he was not late. So to consider him punctual, organized, true to his word and justify his behavior by chance or not? The need to choose one thing, to evaluate and interpret the newly obtained picture, becomes the cause of mental discomfort. Another persistent phrase, the meaning of which not everyone knows, can be called a synonym for "cognitive dissonance". This is a "pattern break". This is a broader concept, but the essence is the same: you had some kind of scheme in your head about a person, concept, phenomenon, and overnight this scheme collapses due to new knowledge. It turns out that twice two is not always four. How is it? .. SMART C english word"Smart" translates as "smart", "smart". This is the meaning of the word "smart" now used in Russia. It cannot be said that it is firmly entrenched in the minds of Russians, but if you do not know what a “smart watch” or “smart TV” is, and even more so a “smartphone”, shame and shame on you. Simply put, the prefix (or part of the word) “smart” means “smart”: smartphone = smart phone, smart watch = smart watch etc. As you may have noticed, the word “smart” is used with high-tech items, so be aware of the context when using it.
TRANSPARENT An adjective with English roots (transparent) is held in high esteem by politicians, bloggers and even cosmetologists. The former conclude transparent agreements and voice transparent positions without secrets and omissions, the latter vow to be as open and sincere with the audience as possible. A transparent, that is, transparent powder does not look like a mask on the face and at the same time perfectly mattifies it. Yes, she is not able to hide skin imperfections, but this is another topic for conversation.
TRANSCENDENT There is a good understandable word for "incomprehensible." And when, outside of a philosophical dispute, one wants to give speeches an intellectual depth, some flaunt the Latin "transcendent" (transcendentis) with the same meaning. And now the speaker or writer and his audience begin to seek and discuss transcendental meanings, connections, feelings ...
Trivial Banal, boring, ordinary, primitive, ordinary - these are how many synonyms the adjective "trivial" has. It is of French ancestry, and in native language trivial means the same thing - trivial. Fewer interlocutors for you with trivial thoughts and anecdotes, theatrical performances and a movie premiere with a trivial plot!
EXISTENTIAL Another philosophical concept associated with being, human life. The Latin word existentia is translated as “existence”. Many things influence our days, but the use of the epithet "existential" adds to these "agents of influence" of the universal scale. Existential problems, crises, experiences are phenomena existing at the base of the world, manifesting in reality and often beyond the control of a person's will.
Valued in any society. It is easier for a person who knows how to correctly and competently draw up a dialogue to find a job, get promotion up the career ladder, and make new acquaintances. People around him often listen to him, his monologue will never seem inappropriate or stupid.
But the paradox is that in order for others to perceive you as an intelligent and educated person, it is enough to replenish their vocabulary by only about fifty words. It is enough to use some for communication in order to seem in the eyes of others an extraordinary, creative person.
The art of competent communication
Master it vocabulary if desired, it will not be difficult. A confidently delivered voice will be much more important, clear diction and the appropriateness of the use of certain words. Surely you have come across a situation in life when a person, conducting a dialogue, is struggling to use abstruse words for communication, sometimes using them completely out of place and in the wrong declension. Such attempts look ridiculous and ridiculous. To prevent this from happening to you, armed with a vocabulary for all occasions, do not be too lazy to find out exact value words, their synonyms and antonyms, declension, gender and stress. This is the only way you will be able to correctly and competently use them in a conversation.
Getting rid of banality
The first thing you should do is to try to use the hackneyed expressions and words that you use in your everyday life to a minimum. For example, a banal set of words like "good", "beautiful", "smart", etc. can be replaced with less hackneyed, alternative options, because for each of them you can use explanatory dictionary pick up at least a dozen synonyms.
For example, the word “beautiful”, depending on the situation, can be replaced by “bright”, “graceful”, “luxurious”, “incomparable”, “magnificent”, “delightful”. “Useful” in daily conversation can be used as “beneficial”, “fruitful”, “expedient”, “practical”, “necessary”. Even to simple word"Smart" there are many synonyms. Should be remembered and appealed to them as needed. Here are some of them: "witty", "resourceful", "quick-witted", "sensible", "wise", "intelligent".

Speech-obstructing expressions
The hardest part of this process can be learning to notice them in your own speech. If you cannot notice them on your own, you may need the help of loved ones with whom you often communicate, or a voice recorder. At the next stage, you should learn to either skip them, or replace them with smart words for communication; to consolidate the result, you also need to periodically listen to your own monologue recorded on a dictaphone. In the process of mastering the organization and staging your own speech, try to speak thoughtfully, logically building each phrase, this is the only way after a while you will be able to master the art of competently conducting a dialogue.
Having learned to clearly build sentences, using smart words for communication, getting rid of expressions clogging up speech, you can make an excellent impression, because the more competent a person speaks, the more reasonable and successful he seems to his interlocutors.
