English Audio Request

You can read about how to drive a car all day, but you won't be a good driver until you DO it.

You can read about knitting a sweater, but until you actually knit the first row, you won't really know how to knit.

Similarly, you can read and listen to English all day, but if you don't actually speak it aloud, you won't become fluent. So speak by yourself at home, saying things like, "I'd better straighten my desk so I can find that paper. I wish I had a new desk, but I'll have to wait until I have more money. I wonder if I'll get an increase in my pay this year..."

Just say whatever is going through your mind aloud. If you don't know a word, either look it up, if you have time, or just skip it and keep talking.

Do you know what these thoughts flowing through your mind are called? Stream of consciousness. I hope you'll give it a try and let me know how it impacts your English!

Thank you very much for your recording. I'm not used to the British accent because most of my penpals are native Americans, but your accent sounds just so nice! The way you read the text is perfect - not too fast - each word is clearly pronounced. Thank you for the correction (impacts on) as well.
Regards
