Next, here is a link to a great website that will help you with your English. It has many possibilities for you to practice. You will need earphones for this exercise (remember, take the earphones with the same number as your book, NOT the number for your lap top.)
Look at some of the options here, then scroll down and click on the word “Pronunciation”.
When you have finished that, if you have email, send me an email. Just say “Hi Teacher” (or anything else you want to say). I will put my new email address on the board.
