This audio file will be used with my students too. So again, it should be close to natural speech, but not too fast. Preferably American accent. Some acting will be highly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.
My name is Mark. I'm 38. I’m half American, half Turkish. My dad is from Turkey and my mom is from the USA. I was born in California, and have lived here my whole life. I’ve never been to any other countries, and I feel really bad about it, as my dream is to travel the world. You may ask me, “If it’s your dream to travel, then why don’t you just travel and make your dream come true?” It’s easy to say this, but not easy to do. I don’t have enough money or time to travel. I work in a small company as an engineer. I divorced one year ago, so I’m single now, but I have two lovely daughters. I don’t really have any hobbies; I just work, sleep, and eat. Life is boring.
I cut off the first sentence "My name is Mark". Because Mark can't possibly have such a lovely feminine voice. haha. Thank you from me and my students!
