Surprise Party

Gary Johnson went to work last Monday, as usual. He walked into the office, but nobody was there. He looked in the offices. He looked in the cafeteria. He looked in the employee bathrooms. He even looked in the basement. Gary didn't know what to do. He walked back to his office. The lights in his office were turned off. He turned on the lights and everybody he worked with yelled: "Surprise!" It was Gary's birthday.

    Ok, just one word to work on, offices/office. If it's office, no sound to the e. If it's offices, it becomes an additional syllable: sound like off-i-cez

    Excellent, Mii!! The only word you need to correct is "turned" Pronounce it as a one syllable word, like 'turnd' not 'turn ed'. Good work, Mii!!

    Wow, very good!

    2 quick things:

    "Employee" is said more like "em-ploy-ee"

    And, "basement" is pronounced "base-ment"--like "base-ball"  kkk =)

    Bom trabalho e boa sorte!
