My pronunciation experience Hello! I'm working on my pronunciation in English. There is a text which I read. Please, could you check whether I pronounce all the sounds correctly and write down all my strong and weak points in pronunciation. It is a link to my recording of the text - https://voicespice.com/Player.aspx?c=p&h=4AEBA14B&j=3E2E1#.WH0zJ1OLSM8 Thanks a lot! (I am extremely afraid =) Text. Are you interested in the behaviour of people and animals? If you are, then you might enjoy the study of psychology. Psychology is the study of behaviour, but this is a very large area of study. There are several different branches of psychology, each of which studies a different aspect of behaviour. Social psychologists study interactions among people. For example, a social psychologist might try to learn about the situations that cause people to behave aggressively. One of the interesting problems in social psychology is conformity: what causes people to behave in the same way, and to follow what others do and say? Cognitive psychologists study thinking, memory, and language. For example, why can young children learn a second language so quickly and easily? Clinical psychologists study mental illnesses. For example, a clinical psychologist might try to find out the causes of depression and to figure out ways of helping people who are depressed. These are only a few of the many areas of psychology. Truly, psychology is one of the most interesting areas of knowledge!

Hi Irina,

First of all, let me congratulate you on your speaking, I purposely closed my eyes and just listened. I did a little research and found that an American English teacher named, Kevin Conwell best describes some problems foreigners may have with pronunciation. I hope you find his suggestions useful.  http://reallifeglobal.com/content-function/

Good luck!
