    Very understandable and clear overall. Practice these words: ►convenient ►hotel ►location (lo-CAG-tion, not LOC-cag-tion) ►great ►beaches (when you shorten the vowel sound here, it becomes hilarious and inadverdently rude!) :D ►gourmet

    I would recommend that you slow your pace down a bit and pause at the end of each sentence (marked by a period).  Good job.  Keep up the good work, Lilly.  You might also want to listen to special English broadcasts from the Voice of America.  They use less difficult vocabulary and emphasize proper pronunciation.  You can listen on your computer:

Tips for Good Reviews:

Be Specific
  • Give useful suggestions and examples.
  • Write more than just brief comments like “Good job” or “Needs work".
Make Corrections
  • Use the editing features to apply strikethrough, bold or different font colors.
  • Use the virtual keyboard to insert special characters in your reviews.
Teach by Example
  • Review a speaking exercise by recording your own audio comment.
  • Focus on correct pronunciation and speaking patterns.
