Hi there! I'm here guys to show you a magazine article about safe driving. It's just one paragraph, but I think it could be useful to practice the proper reading.

Here is the text:

Driving, how you can keep it safe.

Though driving a motor vehicle is viewed as a necessity by millions of people today, driving comes at a price. It has been estimated that over 1.200.000 people lose their lives in traffic accidents worldwide each year! Thus, would it not be worth our while to learn how to drive safely? Let us look at some practical steps that we can take.

Let's practice! please post your voice message with the reading.

I'm most grateful Mr. Torsten for your response. On the other hand, I'm a little confused with the pronunciation of the word "vehicle"... and the way to say 1.200.000 (one million two hundred thousand is ok?).

Thanks in advance.
