English Speaking Exercise (All Levels)

Course 201, Unit 7, Lesson 1

Grocery Shopping

Instructions: Please recite the following paragraph. Press the 'add audio submission' button to record and submit this exercise.

I needed to buy a few apples and some lettuce at the store tonight. My shopping basket got so heavy that I took a shopping cart instead. The clerk was weighing a bunch of bananas for another customer when I dropped a carton of eggs and a jug of milk on the floor. The clerk kindly helped me clean up the mess and get new groceries, but now they are out of milk, so could you please buy two cartons of milk for me at the store tomorrow?

    Just 2 words slightly off: People (65% correct) Insufficiently aspirated on both P's Often (85%) "öff-en" and "Of-ten" are acceptable As you know, P is almost always aspirated in English. Your "people" sounded a bit like "bebo" while your pronunciation of "production" and "places" was nearly flawless. Note: Non-aspirated P's (such as: spit) are very rare. Your pronunciation of the T/S/D ending and beginning R sounds are notably accurate and quite natural sounding. Bravo! Overall: Superb clarity. Nearly perfect pronunciation and excellent intonation. Very natural and pleasant sounding. Read at optimal pace for linguistic exercises. Technical: Perfect recording. Ideal volume. I think you've done an amazing job. Your remaining accent is pure charm, and no interference with communications at all. Saulius: Sorry, but your pronunciation of "va-ri-tis" and "va-ri-te" are actually incorrect. Follow Pat's pronunciation instead. She is indeed correct. Note: "Variety" and "varieties" are both 4-syllable words.
