Note to recorder:

I learn English through Harry Potter. I learn about the intonation, so please make it like natural conversation. thank you.

Harry was a highly unusual boy in many ways. For one thing, he hated the summer holidays more than any other time of year. For another, he really wanted to do his homework but was forced to do it in secret, in the dead of night. And he also happened to be a wizard.
Harry was particularly keen to avoid trouble with his aunt and uncle at the moment, as they were already in an especially bad mood with him, all because he’d received a telephone from his friend.
Harry, who happened to be in the room at the time, froze as he heard Ron’s voice answer.
Ron obviously realized that he’d gotten Harry into trouble.
It must be very late.
He had been 13 years old, without realizing it, for whole hour.
He had no reason to suppose they could remember this one.
He jet-black hair was just as it always had been – stubbornly untidy, whatever he did to it.
He knew at once where the letter had come from.
He saw all night of the Weasleys waving furiously at him.
Right in the middle of the picture was round. He had his arm around his little sister, Ginny.

I changed 'He jet-black hair' to 'His jet-black hair.' I hope this helps, and good luck with English, minhminh. 😁🇻🇳

thank you! it's so kind of you. I just thought I will quit this website because no one help me. I just found out this website, so I tried and waited but no one had replied to my request.
