Oral ability training requires multifaceted experience, such as life experiences, knowledge accumulation, expressive skills, and the speed of reaction. Ultimately, it can all be said to be a matter of thinking. Therefore, oral ability training is essentially a training of quick thinking. The process of transforming thoughts into language in oral composition is very short, and once it becomes language, it is in its final form, unlike written composition, where the writer has ample time to think and refine their work. Thus, oral composition highly demands quick thinking. On the other hand, oral ability training can enhance quick thinking, which is very beneficial for rapid composition.

Oral ability training can be ( means "assigned a topic" or "given a subject") just like writing, with various forms, such as: speaking based on pictures, speaking by connecting words, self-introductions, narrating personal experiences, reciting passages, telling stories, speeches, and debates.

- General: End with another "general" statement to reinforce the beginning.
