Are there any mistakes that I made out through your talk, Spring girl?

My ideal job is to work in a big and (a) famous company as an accountant with a very healthy in an environment. The reasons why I would like to have this job are first I will have a good reputation, the second reason is I have a very high salary, the third reason is although I have a lot of responsibility to work in the company I think I enjoy working as an account because accounting is very enjoyable work. For all these reasons I think my ideal job is to work in a company as an accountant

Regards,

My ideal job is to work in a very big and a famous company as an accountant with a very healthy environment. The reasons why I would like to have this job are first I would have a good reputation, the second reason is I would have a very high salary, the third reason is although I would have a lot of responsibility towards this company I think I would enjoy working as an accountant because accounting is very enjoyable work. For all these reasons I think my ideal job is to work in a company as an accountant.

This is what I said exactly, wasn't it clear? can you try to listen to it again?

Hi everyone,
I hope the story does not make a hash of the forum. This story was spoken on the VOA special English program. There are a lot of idioms in the story. You can study them. They are not much difficult. You can also read the story out loud to practice pronunciation. That's what I want to share.

There we go.

I think people everywhere dream about having lots of money. I know I do. I would give anything to make money hand over fist. I would like to earn large amounts of money. You could win a large amount of money in the United States through lotteries. People pay money for tickets with numbers. If your combination of numbers is chosen, you win a huge amount of money – often in the millions. Winning the lottery is a windfall.
A few years ago, my friend Al won the lottery. It changed his life. He did not have a rich family. He was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Instead, my friend was always hard up for cash. He did not have much money. And the money he did earn was chicken feed – very little.
Sometimes Al even had to accept hand-outs, gifts from his family and friends. But do not get me wrong. My friend was not a deadbeat. He was not the kind of person who never paid the money he owed. He simply pinched pennies. He was always very careful with the money he spent. In fact, he was often a cheapskate. He did not like to spend money. The worst times were when he was flat broke and had no money at all.
One day, Al scraped together a few dollars for a lottery ticket. He thought he would never strike it rich or gain lots of money unexpectedly. But his combination of numbers was chosen and he won the lottery. He hit the jackpot. He won a great deal of money.
Al was so excited. The first thing he did was buy a costly new car. He splurged on the one thingthat he normally would not buy. Then he started spending money on unnecessary things. He started to waste it. It was like he had money to burn. He had more money than he needed and it was burning a hole in his pocket so he spent it quickly.
When we got together for a meal at a restaurant, Al paid every time. He would always foot the bill, and pick up the tab. He told me the money made him feel like a million dollars. He was very happy.
But, Al spent too much money. Soon my friend was down and out again. He had no money left. He was back to being strapped for cash. He had spent his bottom dollar, his very last amount. He did not even build up a nest egg. He had not saved any of the money.
I admit I do feel sorry for my friend. He had enough money to live like a king. Instead, he is back to living on a shoestring — a very low budget. Some might say he is penny wise and pound foolish. He was wise about small things, but not about important things.

Thank you.
JLTS
