The boy cut his thumb while preparing dinner. I would like to exercise more in order to build muscles. The girl is putting a band-aid on her knuckle. He is going to take some medicine for his sore throat tomorrow. My feet hurt because I ran ten miles today. Please use sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun. I need to go to the dentist for my tooth pain, but I am afraid of dentists.
good job, hard to hear because of the background noise, I couldn't make out the last word you said though, not sure if it was just from the quality of the recording.
Soccer! Hah! I know you prefer MK. :-)
I have no suggestions. I could understand everything, but I agree about the interference from the background noise.
Very good. It's not necessary to say "football-soccer". In the United States we use the word "soccer" for the name of this sport but in the rest of the English speaking world you can use the word "football" to refer to the game played with your feet. :-)
Yeah it sounds like you are saying everything pretty much correctly, but the background noise really makes it hard to tell.
As Andy said, you don't need to say football-soccer. Just say soccer and you're fine.
The first sentence you said, you sort of stressed the wrong word. I would say it as I have it recorded.
All in all, good job!! Try to have less background noise in the future!! :)
Hi Karla: I'm Jaime. I'll listen to your reading.
The quality of your audio doesn't allow for a full appreciation of your diction. The little I could hear is well pronounced. It's either Footbal or Soccer. Not both.
Good luck,
Jaime
