Note to recorder:

清真慢,谢谢。

我....不....不行了。
看,小雨累得连话都说不出来了。
小雨爬不动了,咱们休息休息吧.
让我喝点儿水....到山顶还有多少路?
咱们才爬了-半儿,还有一半儿.
看来,我爬不到山顶了.你们上吧,我在山下等你们.
你呀,平时运动得太少.
不是运动得太少,是事儿太多,多得做不完,哪有时间运动?
不是没有时间,是太懒了吧?
不能只想着工作,也要注意休息.
我建议你以后每天早上出去跑步.
以后我教你打太极拳.
你们快走吧,让我在这儿安安静静地休息一会儿.

Ah, Thanks. It's good to hear different voices and accents, and interesting to try to locate them.
It's even fascinating to hear all the various English accents.

To my ears, when you say words like 山 and 时, it sounds closer to our "s" than our "sh" , compared to some speakers.

In my native city, Glasgow , we tend to miss out T's in some words, so "bottle" and "kettle" sound like "bo - l" and "ke - l".

usually,chinese can understand you when you mixed up 's' and 'sh'
