    Hi Tony, I've looked through previous comments on your wok. All of them are excellent. Mine is the same. But to my mind you need to speed up your reading, a bit fluent. :) One suggestion: pay attention to *say*. The rest is superb! Best regards!

    I cannot seem to be able to record an audio comment on hear, anyway the only word you have a problem with is clothes, as many people do you have added an extra es on the end try to brake it down cl o thes. Great exercise, do not speed up until you feel confident to do so, Cam

    Interesting. Some predicament but without a mic, I can't listen to your rendition. I won't have a mic until I return from my 7 day vacation.

    Excellent!! The only word to practice is "clothes." I would also try to improve on the word "them". My experience with these recordings is that they are tempermental. If I can't hear anything, I refresh the page and then typically I can hear the recording.
