Sun Safety - Time

In the summer, the sun can be dangerous. It is important to protect your skin when you are outside. You must use sunscreen every two hours. The sun is stronger after 10am, and is the strongest between noon and 4pm. You can get a sunburn in only 15 minutes. Some people go to the beach and sleep in the sun. When they wake up, they have a bad sunburn. Sometimes, people with bad sunburns need to go to the hospital.

    Congratulations on having completed this speaking exercise!  I would suggest you review English pronunciation more globally, because you seem to be having some difficulties with basic concepts.  Above all, make an effort to not directly pronounce things as you would in your native language.  I would also advise you going over the intonation and rhythmic patterns of the English language so as to improve your accent and comprehensibility.  Here are some words that were specifically problematic here: dangerous,  Best of luck in your future studies!

    In English pronunciation, the R/r is never rolled. The tongue is best kept on the floor of the mouth rather than moved forward to the front teeth or up to the palate and roof of the mouth. Punctuation marks (, ; : ! ? .) need to be followed by a noticeable pause. Practice makes perfect.

    Unlike other languages, English pronunciation and reading do not allow for the joining together of word sounds. One word is not usually carried over to merge with the next word. Each word in English is pronounced separately. Practice makes perfect.
