Hi Torsten

I thought Brandee read this at a more natural speed, and succeeded in reading it in an interesting way. The sound quality didn't seem to be quite as good as on her first recording -- but that may only reflect the fact that I'm at a different PC today. (I'll try to listen again next time I'm at a different PC.)

She had a couple of little stumbles, and I noticed that she read a typo exactly as it appeared in the text. I think the typo more than the occasional verbal stumble might tend to lead to learner questions and confusion (i.e. I can imagine a learner asking this: "Why is it OK to say two daughter?")

The main grammar focus was present continuous, and I'd be interested in what others think about the fact that the spoken text did not contain the contractions that are so typical in spoken English. I can see pros and cons both ways.

Hi Amy,

Thanks a lot for your comments. I've removed the "daughter" typo. Did you spot any other errors in the written text?
Regards,
Torsten

Sounds to me as if she's reading as she speaks. A bit lifeless.

Torsten,

Thank you so much I can use this Mp3 to my class, since we're trying to upgrade
some curriculum for the training of English Language, Although I haven't try to download some
because I'm still out of town for some corporate meeting!

Mabuhay! God Bless

Regards,

Sanunai

Hi, please help me to realize..
'I'm not attending next year's festival ' = I'm not going to the festival next year..Is it equal?
When can we use Present Continuous in the future meaning?
What does construction 'I am being' mean? (I am being perfectly serious)

Best reagrds.

What Alan meant was, that he was being overly critical of the performers.

They weren't really that bad.
