Instructions: Please recite the following paragraph. Press the 'add audio submission' button to record and submit this exercise.
A highway is a main road people use to travel between different public places. Highways connect cities, towns, and villages. Sometimes, drivers pay money to use the highway, and sometimes highways are free. Highways can go over water, across bridges, and through tunnels. Highways can also go up, down, or under mountains. Some highways have homes or businesses on them. Other highways don't have any buildings on them.
Hello Mehdi,

A really good effort Mehdi , , however I feel that you hadn't practised this exercise very well a few errors in pronunciation and the flow of words was broken by hesitation .

You read this very well. Be careful with words that end in 'es'. Those words are said like they have an extra 's' or a 'ez' sound added to the end. I will read the paragraph so you can listen.

Hi Mehdi :D
You are doing really well with your English!
You read this exercise nice and slowly, and very clearly.
There were just a few words you could improve a little bit: public, villages, drivers, bridges, businesses.
Great job!

You should listen at www.howjsay.com to the differences between "village" and "villages", "bridge" and "bridges", "business" and "businesses".
You should also listen to "water", mountains", and "homes", and practise saying these words until they sound like the proper pronunciation that you can hear there.
Overall, you did very well. :-)
Khub.
Excellent Mehdi! No corrections.
