I am a native speaker, but my friend is not and he has to get his pronunciation to native level here.
I gave him a recording of this text, but I'd like him to have a variety to refer to so that he can compare different rhythms and such.
Please simply read once at a natural speed. Thanks :)
If life on another planet evolves intelligence like that of people on Earth, it would have at least a few human-like features. There are good reasons for eyes, ears, and noses to form a kind of face. There are clear advantages in having fingers at the end of the arms. For protection, the brain needs to be in a hard case and as far from the ground as possible.
