Am I pronouncing this right? Help!!!!
Which words am I pronouncing wrong? How can I correct them?
This is the lingk of my pronounciation.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0oTxYEGY05y
And the poem.
Dearest creature in creation,
Studying English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it’s written.)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.
Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far.
Many thanks!!

Writing exercice about the Internet and its development
In class, you have been discussing the internet. Your teacher has asked you to write an
essay saying if you agree with the following statement:
As the internet develops, it will continue to have a positive impact on our lives.
It’s a known fact that the Internet has changed our lives in all levels. From education to economy, all parts of our society are dependent of this computer network nowadays. We are all engaged in some level in this giant net that connects all parts of the world. Like a spider net, it sends information from one point to another.
This can means huge benefits in business, personal relations, information... The perks are almost uncountable. We’re seeing this technology developing day by day, making possible things we can just dream off before. A statement like “We will have devices able to connect to all human knowledge everywhere at any time” would have blown more than one mind in the 80’s. This development, due to the huge amount of money invested in research, is going further away every year, making our lives easier and changing the way we humans mix with each other. We can, therefore, say that the internet is going to have a god impact in our future.
Nevertheless, it also makes us more dependent to this technology. We can see almost every day how children develop his computer skills, which leads to difficulties when it’s time to do some handwriting. This example can be extended to all fields, including personal relations and other basic things like sending a letter. We all rely too much on the Internet and on technology in general, making ourselves more vulnerable in case we have to face a catastrophe that involves the lack of electricity.
The development of the Internet (and all its benefits) is not going to stop. From my point of view, seeing it as a problem or as a passing fad would be a clumsy, simplistic and shallow view. We just have to be prepared to this development, moderating its use and teaching new generations there are some different ways of doing things. Development is not a problem, but knowledge never hurts.

A short story about an unkown man, 1st chapter (HELP me with my grammar and spelling, PLEASE)
Charlie was, as always, heading home. He was determined to change his life this time. He promised himself that this would be the last time waking up in an disgusting alley, surrounded by trash, rats and stray dogs looking for the leftovers of a cheap restaurant. Hencehold, he should put himself togheter and start thinking as the father he just became.
He was now strolling across a broad avenue, one of the main roads that fed the decadent city, once full of life and joy. He thought about it. "Once, this street was well-paved, crowded, warm and busy, like a main blood vessel carrying oxigen to the cells", he thought. "Now I can't even walk over it because of the potholes and puddles".
He continued wandering, thinking about the last diagnosis he had made just a month ago. He had saved that kid in the last moment, but he hadn't been able to save his mother. He was inmersed in his memories, the ones that were leading him into a dark and painful life. But he quickly realised something. The atmosphere whas different this time in the street. Something weird was going on, but Chalie couldn't guess what was happening. The air was carrying an odd scent, which remembered him to the roast chicken that his mother would cook in his chidlhood. Suddenly, he realised that there isn't anybody in the street. Traffic lights were still working, but there were no cars abiding their luminous orders. He frowned, but he had no time to think.
He heard a humongous noise at the end of the street. An entire building gave way before he could move. The dust, expanding everywhere, filled the air while Charly was looking for a shelter. He found an entrance hall, big enough to keep him safe. He tried to open the door but it was locked, so he broke the glass and unlocked it. He started running along the main aisle and turned left.
Something hit him. He floped, and before he pass away, he saw a blurry shoe and heard "we got him!".
To be continued...

A short story about Alison (If you could help me with the grammar and spellin It would be great)
Alison read the note, smiled, and immediately put on her coat. She decided to go for a walk, so he could clear her mind in the street.
She was wandering through the streets of Southampton when, out of the blue, she realizes that the handwriting was not of him. At this very moment, she was walking along the river, following a narrow path that continued through a dense forest. Right away, she felt a frightening sensation starting in her chest. She got panicked so she started running without looking the way she was choosing trough the woods.
She got lost and started crying for help. Then, Alison heard a loud but strange sound. It was almost as if someone were dragging his feet through the leaves. She recognized the pattern and realized that “the sound” was him, so she felt relieved.

Letter (exercice for an exam)
This is an exericice, I made up the letter content. I'm preparing the First Certificate Exam on my own and I'd like to get helped with my writing.
Hello, Robin.
It’s always nice to hear from you.
I received your letter one week ago but I didn’t have time to write the response until now.
It’s wonderful to hear about the sports camp. It’s great because I’m willing to go this time. I’ve lost 20 kg this year and now I’m pretty good at sports, so I’m sure I’ll enjoy it.
I’d rather sleep in tents because I think it’s more authentic. Besides, it will be fun to set up the tent by our own, as we did when we were children.
Regarding the dishes that you ask for, I could cook a Spanish omelet or a paella if you want. I know they’re not the dishes we used to cook, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy both of them though.
Despite I don’t have much time, I’d like to stay a few days with you when the camp finishes. I think we could go to the movie theatre or simply go for a ride through the mountain.
I’ll wait for your response.
Blas.
