Task Two: Pronunciation Recording

Your teacher will give you a handout with a paragraph and several questions. You are going to record yourself reading the paragraph, and answer the questions. This will help me understand what sounds and pronunciation issues you need to work on.

2) Answer the questions briefly at the bottom of the handout

Think about the questions before you record your conversation, but you must not write down what you are going to say.
