INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you want to make a lifelong effort to be a more articulate person, then you have to live a more intellectual life. Read contemporary and classic fiction to be immersed in the world of literature. Read non-fiction and the paper to be up-to-date. Watch the news to have a better sense of what is going on in the world, and how relevant issues are expressed. Talk to other intelligent people and make a habit of communicating wisely. Sure, reading an extra book a month or reading the paper every day may not immediately make you more articulate the next time you have a conversation, but you will able to see it impact your speaking and cognitive abilities in the long run. Another way to be more articulate is to work to have a strong sense of the group of people you are talking to. If you're giving a presentation on a poet to a group of literary scholars, then you can assume that they understand the vocabulary and concepts you are using; but if you're teaching a group of fifth-grade students to write their own poetry, then the words you use, and the level of explanation you give, will have to be very different depending on who you're talking to. Being a complete genius won't help you at all when talking to a group of nine-year-olds; to be a professional at being articulate, you'll have to adjust your words and speech to your audience whenever it's necessary. If you tell a story, you are more likely to get rid of all that verbal filler or the hesitation, because you will know it like the back of your hand and will be able to move more fluently from one sentence to the next. If you have a story that illustrates your point very well, then you should use it in a speech or when you talk to people, and you will sound more animated and articulate because you'll be speaking from a place that makes you comfortable. Practicing telling the story in advance, of course, can help you fine-tune it, even if you think you know it pretty well. Go on YouTube or another online source and watch some great speakers, such as Martin Luther King or Steve Jobs, and see if you can learn anything from them. You can also read some great speeches, such as "The Gettysburg Address," to see if you can pick up on how to impress and inspire people. You can also just watch inspiring speakers on the news who are particularly well-spoken and thoughtful, and see what you can learn from them. Take notes while you watch or read. You'll see that you can learn a lot about how to be articulate just by watching other people who are well-spoken. Another way to wow a crowd or a co-worker and to get your message across is to make sure that your message is worth listening to. Though telling an amazing and inspiring story about how you finished a marathon with a sprained ankle may not be perfectly stated, if you make the story interesting enough, people will be able to overlook the times you pause, stutter, or use verbal filler. So, the next time you're nervous about talking to people, don't just focus on how you state the message -- focus on making the message itself as engaging as possible. To make your content more interesting, you can not only trim down the extra verbiage, but you can also figure out what would be the most captivating thing to tell your audience. This will put you in touch with like-minded people and will offer the time and place you need to give speeches, captivate audiences, and learn to be more articulate. If you're feeling shy or afraid to speak in front of audiences, this will give you the push you need to become a more confident, articulate person.

SUMMARY: Expand your knowledge base. Get to know your audience. Tell a story. Get inspired by famous speeches and speakers. Make your content even more interesting. Join a speech club.

They could be friends, family, or acquaintances you know through various activities, but they should all love to read. Also, make sure that this core group of members can commit to meetings on a regular basis. You can mention your club to them in person, through email, text, or however the best way to contact them would be.  If you plan to have your book club at a physical location, recruit people who live close to you. You can invite anyone to a virtual book club, as long as the people who want to join have reliable internet access. When you first begin, especially if the members are friends or you plan to serve alcohol, meeting in your own home is a great idea. Later, different members could host meetings. If there are members that you are not quite as familiar with, or don't want to meet at your house, ask your local library about using some of their space for a book club. You can also ask a local café if they would be willing to let you have your book club at their place. If your book club will be virtual, choose how you will hold it. One option is to create a Facebook group where everyone can comment on aspects about the book. Or, you can create a website where anyone can join and comment on the chosen book. If you want a more personal approach, have a video chat with a few other people. An hour is a good start. Eventually, two hours or an hour and a half may work better if you add more members to your group. Don't exceed two hours, because people may not be as willing or able to show up to longer meetings. Send out an email to your members or potential members. Ask them what books they have been reading, and what times and dates work best for them to meet. Request that they respond back to you by a certain date so that you can begin to make concrete plans. When you’ve gathered information about what the members have been reading, choose a book. Look for a book that falls under the members’ preferences and is fairly well-known. It is best to choose a short book for the first meeting so that you can get an idea of how fast the members read. Read online reviews about the book. Make sure that the book has mostly positive reviews. After you’ve gathered information from the poll, set a time, date, and location for your first club meeting. Set the date at least two weeks in advance in order to allow for people to have time to read the book. Three weeks is even better. Send out e-mails a week before the meeting to give people a written reminder.
