Hi everybody,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Can you hear me? Do you like my voice? Does it sound a little Chinglish? I don't think I've got a nice voice, though. I even hate my voice - many people do. This is the first time I've ever uploaded such a record - I decided it was time for me to make my voice heard the other day. I hope you can follow suit, make your voice heard, and practice spoken English.
Christmas Day isn't a holiday here, so we don't take any days off work or school. But, Christmas is getting more popular here, and people do celebrate it every year by shopping around, having a Christmas Eve party, or eating out with family or friends in the evening, no matter whether they are Christian or not. Children here don't expect any surprise gifts from their parents on Christmas Day. However, they'll get plent of them or even 'red envelops' (with money in it) on Chinese New Year's Eve. Sound like fun?
Oh, I'll try to sing part of a famous song of English:
Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together, naturally
...
Do you like to sing English songs? Or you can sing a song for us in your mother tongue. Let's learn English by 'using our mouth'. You are not supposed to learn ‘dumb English’.

'Dumb English' means you can read or write in English, but can't speak it - 'deaf and dumb'. You know, in some country, students need to pass the 'paper test' but not 'speaking test'. So, the students may be good at grammar, but not be able to speak it fluently. I hope you get it. By the way, I like to listen to your recording.

I heard a lovely voice on your page and I thought it was yours. I know you can speak several languages. So it's no problem for you to speak English. I look forward to your recording!
All right, i could open it :)) You're in the tune !!!! Bravo. Ok, i will also download something vocal, but the microphone of my laptop isn't that good, there are too many noices behind the scene, and as i forgot my good microphone in Belgium, you will have to be patient before you hear my voice :))
Thanks for your comment. So, it's a pity you couldn't open the link and failed to hear my voice. Recording your voice is a good idea and you can do it. I'm looking forward to it!
Hello Expector,
I could not open your link so i don't know about your voice yet. It's a great idea to practice spoken english, but it is something else to record ourselves singing !!! I don't think i could do it :))
So i will just try to download myself reading a text. That would be a good start already.
@notears, the same here :( , I WANT TO SPEAK, but am always nervous when am about to do it. Am not confident enough. I think we can do it together and invite the other girls in the list ;) what say??
@ DM, thanks for the suggestion.
@Doc, thanks for the encouraging words and the inspiring blog.
