In the English language, the rhythm, English accent pronunciation, grammar, tone, stress to be put on words play a significant role to let the real meaning of the sentence come out clearly. As you know without a proper meaning, no sentence is completed and this creates ambiguity to both readers or listeners.  

With the perfect accent tips and flow, communication becomes effective when we try to express our thoughts clearly to the listener. It’s about the up and down pitch and tone in every sentence we speak that makes the difference. The pitch of your voice on certain words demonstrates your ability over the subject. The command on a sentence allow other listeners to hear where the emphasis has been put on particular words.
