The boy was digging holes in the garden with a shovel. I need to buy a mop and a bucket to wash my floor. The girl is sweeping the wooden floor with a broom. He is going to fix the chimney tomorrow. My shears and two rakes are in the wheelbarrow. Please use a tape measure to measure the distance between the window and the door. I would like to use my new drill to put a screw into the wall.
Good.
Very good.
This is what I heard:
Hello. I'm working now. I'm at the office but I'm taking a rest. Here I have to wear a suit because it's obligatory. This suit is blue and my shoes are black. I'm wear a red tie with clovers.
The words 'obligatory' and 'wearing' need a little practice. I'll read it with my American accent.
Get Flash string(11) "transparent"
very nice

Here is what I would've said:
Hello, I am working now. I am at the office, but I'm taking a break. Here it's obligatory to wear a suit. My suit is blue and shoes are black. I'm also wearing a red tie with a clover print.
Or you can say, with clovers on it. Not sure how the tie actually looks.
You were saying clovers, right? like treboles.
There are two ways to pronounce obligatory. With accent on first syllable or second. I looked it up on dictionary.com :D
