Hell
Could a native record this text for me? It's a help for a pupil suffering from dyslexia. I would like her to have the recording of the text to be able to do the written comprehension exercises.
Thanks for your help
Hi,
My name is Jonathan Porter. I’m a schoolboy in Manchester. I’m 13 and a half and I live in a flat with my mum (who is remarried), my stepfather and my half-sister, Debbie. She’s ten. We have got a cat and a hamster. I’d love to have a dog but mum says the flat is too small.
I’m not very tall and I’m quite slim. I only weigh 40 kilos. But I’m fit because I do a lot of exercise. I play football. My favourite team is Manchester United, of course! I also play basketball and I swim a lot. I like reading and drawing. In fact, I’m good at drawing comics. I love my superheroes. I’m also interested in music. I play the violin in a band.
My hair is short and blond and I’ve got blue eyes. I wear glasses and I’ve got a beauty spot on my nose.
I haven’t got a room of my own because I share my room with my sister. She’s very nice but she’s a little crazy and extremely talkative. She loves nature and animals and she’s got lots of posters of dolphins above her bed. She’s also very messy. Her shoes, books and magazines are everywhere on the floor!
My favourite colour is green because my mum is from Ireland and we always celebrate Saint Patrick’s day on March 17th.
I’m excited because it’s my birthday next week. I was born on October 15th 1997. On the one hand, I like my birthday because we always go to Ireland to have a party with my grandparents and my cousins, but on the other hand, I hate autumn. I don’t like it when the seasons are changing and summer is going away. The weather becomes cold and rainy. My sister’s very lucky because she’s a summer baby so she always has her birthday party in the garden.
It’s late now and I must do my homework. Don’t forget to write back soon.
Best wishes. xxx
Jonathan
Thank you very much for your recording
