Talking about anecdotes

Exercise 11: Pronunciation

Now listen to the story again, and practice reading it aloud. When you are ready, use your phone to record yourself reading the story and check your pronunciation.

When I was at school, I played football in the school team. When I was 14, I decided that I really wanted to be in the team, so I tried really hard to get in, and eventually I succeeded. I missed some games because I lived far away from the school, but I played in some important matches. In my last year at school, the team’s manager promised to take us on holiday if we won the championship. We failed to win, but we really liked the experience.

 

Now listen and compare this recording with your version.
