WEEK 10

Hello, here are my recordings for this week. In first one I first one is TV show called The Simpsons and second one is movie called JAWS. I had to practise little bit because I was quite slow, for example I started some sentence and I can´t finish it because the scene was already gone. But I am glad that I used some "good" words for example instead of happy I used excited, or I came up with words broadcast, widow etc. You can find link for The Simpsons video below.

WEEK 9

Hi, this is my first recording of picture description. I think I´ve come up with some good ideas but I sound quite unsure, I make lot of "eee" pauses and whole recording has slow pace. So I listened to my recording about three times and recorded my second try. You can find it below. Also I was repeating few words for example "some" too much. I think I sound more confident and I corrected some grammar mistakes (for example preposition in sentence "at bottom right hand corner"). Also I didn´t make so much pauses. As my individual task I´ve downloaded a picture on the Internet and describe it. You can find this picture below recoding.

week 8

Hi, here is my short excerpt of TV show called Drop Dead Diva. I have never watched this show but the scene seemed to me quite funny and easy to remember. Unfortunatelly, I didn´t know how to upload whole video, so I wrote down whole dialogue. You can find the beggining of it below the recording. -Hey sweetie! Have you seen my...
 Engagement ring? Yes, like a houndred and one times. And it is gorgeous!
-It is, georgeous! But I was going to ask you if you have seen my fiancé?
Owen left about an hour ago. He had an early meeting. So, now that you are awake, I´ve downloaded a to do list from iamengaged.com. Are you ready?
-Oh, I am ready! Number one, have you created your wedding blog?
-Of course! It is personal, interactive and it is linked to the guest book....

I really enjoyied this exercise so I think it sounds quite good, of course not as good as original. On the other hand, I think I still have problem with stress.

As my individual task I have prepared short article which we practised in our KOFA lessons. I  focused on schwa.
