submarine communication cables are the backbone of global telecommunications, laying the foundation for instant communication between continents. Beginning in the 1850s, these undersea cables have evolved to meet modern technological demands. The first transatlantic telegraph cable, operational on August 16, 1858, marked the dawn of global connectivity. Today, submarine communication cables continue to advance, playing a crucial role in data transmission across the world’s oceans.
Structure of Modern Submarine Communication Cables
A modern submarine communication cable is a sophisticated piece of technology. Here’s a breakdown of its structure:
1 Polyethylene: This outer layer provides mechanical protection.
2 Mylar Tape: Adds further insulation and protection.
3 Stranded Steel Wires: Strengthens the cable and protects it against physical stresses.
4 Aluminum Water Barrier: Prevents water ingress.
5 Polycarbonate: Provides another layer of insulation.
6 Copper or Aluminum Tube: Houses the petroleum jelly and optical fibers.
7 Petroleum Jelly: Offers additional protection to the fibers.
8 Optical Fibers: The core component that transmits data using light signals.
These cables ensure the seamless transfer of data across vast distances, contributing to the Internet and other communication networks.
Environmental Impact of Undersea Communication Cables
The placement of submarine communication cables in the benthic zone, where most marine life resides, has raised environmental concerns. However, studies conducted in 2003 and 2006 showed minimal impact on marine ecosystems. Sampling of sediment around cables revealed little difference in organism diversity or abundance compared to areas without cables. Interestingly, cables often provide attachment points for anemones, enhancing local biodiversity.
From 1877 to 1955, there were 16 recorded instances of whales becoming entangled in cables. Modern advancements in cable-laying techniques, particularly with fiber-optic and coaxial cables, have eliminated these risks, making submarine communication cables safer for marine life.
Cable Layer Ships: The Backbone of Undersea Communication Networks
Cable layers, or cable ships, are specialized vessels designed to lay and repair submarine communication cables. There are two primary types:
Cable Repair Ships: Smaller and more maneuverable, these ships, like the Japanese Tsugaru Maru, are primarily tasked with fixing broken cables.
Cable-Laying Ships: Larger and less maneuverable, these ships, such as Long Lines, are designed to lay new cables quickly and efficiently. They are equipped with linear cable engines (LCE) and large cable storage drums, allowing for the rapid deployment of cables.
The modern cable ships have evolved from their predecessors, featuring advanced technology that allows for faster and more precise cable installation for developing industry.
Submarine Cable Technology: AC vs. DC
Most submarine cables are designed for alternating current (AC) transmission at medium or high voltages, up to 132kV. However, direct current (DC) cables are also used in certain applications, particularly for long-distance power transmission.
Bangladesh’s Submarine Communication Cables

Watch English Media: Whether it’s movies, TV shows, or YouTube videos, immerse yourself in English media. Try to follow along without subtitles initially, then watch again with them to catch any missed words.
Listen to Podcasts or Audiobooks: These are great for on-the-go learning. Choose topics you’re interested in to keep yourself engaged while improving your English speaking skills.
Practice Shadowing: This technique involves listening to a sentence and then immediately repeating it. It’s a powerful method used by language learners to improve pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation.
4. Speak as Much as Possible
The most effective way to improve your English speaking skills is to speak as often as possible. Here’s how you can incorporate speaking practice into your daily routine:
Find a Language Partner: Look for language exchange partners who want to learn your native language while helping you with English. Apps like Tandem or HelloTalk are perfect for this purpose.
Join English-Speaking Groups: Many cities have English-speaking clubs or groups where you can practice in a social setting. If you can’t find one nearby, consider joining online groups or forums.
Practice with Technology: Use voice assistants like Siri or Google Assistant to ask questions and practice your speaking skills. They’re surprisingly good at understanding various accents and can provide immediate feedback.
5. Think in English
One of the barriers to fluent speaking is the constant translation in your head. To overcome this, start thinking in English. This might sound difficult, but with practice, it becomes second nature.
Narrate Your Day: As you go about your daily activities, try describing what you’re doing in English. This will help you build a mental vocabulary that you can easily access during conversations.
Plan Conversations: Before engaging in a conversation, especially in English, think about what you want to say. This helps structure your thoughts and reduces the chances of freezing up.
6. Use Technology to Your Advantage
There are countless tools available today that can aid in your journey to improve your English speaking skills:
Language Learning Apps: Apps like Babbel, Rosetta Stone, and FluentU offer structured lessons that focus on both speaking and listening skills.
Speech Recognition Software: Tools like Google Translate’s conversation mode allow you to practice speaking and receive instant feedback.
Virtual Reality (VR): Some platforms offer VR experiences where you can practice speaking in simulated environments, like ordering food in a restaurant or asking for directions.
7. Focus on Fluency, Not Accuracy
While it’s important to speak correctly, don’t let the fear of making mistakes hold you back. Fluency comes from practice, and practice involves making errors. The more you speak, the more comfortable you’ll become, and over time, your accuracy will improve as well.
8. Learn Idioms and Colloquialisms
Native English speakers often use idioms and colloquial expressions that can be confusing for learners. Understanding these phrases will not only improve your comprehension but also make your speech sound more natural.
Use Idiom Dictionaries: There are numerous online resources that explain the meanings of idioms and provide examples of how to use them.
Watch Local Content: Watching content from different English-speaking countries (like the UK, US, or Australia) can expose you to regional expressions and slang.
9. Get Feedback from Native Speakers
Getting constructive feedback is also crucial when you’re learning to speak English, as it helps you identify areas where you can improve. Native speakers can help you identify areas for improvement that you might not notice yourself.
Take Online Courses: Platforms like iTalki or Preply allow you to take one-on-one lessons with native speakers who can give you personalized feedback.
Participate in Forums: Engage in online forums or communities where native speakers are active. Sites like Reddit have numerous language learning subreddits where you can ask questions and get feedback.
10. Be Patient and Persistent
Language learning is a marathon, not a sprint. Be patient with yourself and celebrate small wins as you progress. Set realistic goals, and keep in mind that improvement doesn’t happen overnight. The key to learning how to develop English speaking skills is consistency and persistence.
Keep a Learning Journal: Track your progress by noting new words, phrases, and expressions you’ve learned. Reflecting on your journey can be a great motivator.
Stay Consistent: Try to practice speaking every day, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Consistency is key to improvement and mastering how to improve your English speaking skills.
