Instructions: Please recite the following paragraph. Press the 'add audio submission' button to record and submit this exercise.
Mrs. Smith needs to buy a new dress and a present for her daughter. Yesterday, she looked at many different dresses, but she did not like them. Today, she looks at a yellow dress and a blue dress. Finally, she buys the blue dress for $200. Yesterday, Mrs. Smith did not know what to buy for her son. She looked at some sweaters, shirts and pants. Then she looked at a new soccer ball. She still could not decide. Today, Mrs. Smith buys her son a new watch. She finally finishes shopping.
Very good, Irina, there is some background noise on the recording, but it's still very fluent. I'd like to point out the parts that are 'American English': what they call 'pants', we call 'trousers', what they call 'soccer', we call 'football', they have 'football' but it's different, more like our 'rugby'. The only word that needs a little more practice, was 'sweaters' try saying 'swetters'. Den :)
