can anybody give me a list of any sort of phrases.i need a vast list of phrases of any sort so that i can practise in my speech.it can be small,big,of any type,any situation.

here are some examples:

1)      Definitely sounds like you pulled a muscle

2)      How far has your actual book reading diminished?

3)      Good to know I'm not alone

4)      But maybe you should slow down a bit(on reading books)

5)      YOU ARE BETTER OFF WITHOUT HIM

6)      Staying single is not a curse it's a GIFT a blessing.

7)      God will provide you guidance, if you will just ask.

8)      so your on your own !!!!!

9)      Refuse them healthcare, they will die off eventually, or learn to take responsibility for themselves. ;-)

10)  I would seriously like someone to tell me I'm wrong on this one

11)  America's economy isn't 100% the presidents fault.

12)  Has anyone ever called you fat?

13)  you seem like a sensible woman when it comes to looking after your body

14)  You are a normal size and weight for your age

15)  It's simple math, just burn more calories than you take in.

16)  Don't starve yourself just eat as much as you normally do

17)  Try to not eat all on your plate

    it will really help me.

I'm not quite sure what sort of a list you expect or can realistically expect people to give you, David.  Judging by the list of sentences you've posted here, however, you seem to be taking your sentences primarily from forum or chatroom conversations.  If it does not matter how long or short the sentences are, and the type of sentence and context also doen't matter, then why not simply look for some texts in books, magazines or newspapers and practice speaking by reading them out loud?
