How I wish this blog could jump into the hundredth directly. As you can see, it's merely 28th until now. I'm unable to achieve my wish of making 100 voice blogs by the end of 2012 within two days, unless I have magic. So, I'm ready to throw in the towel, but that doesn't mean I'd stop voice blogging anymore. On the contrary, as long as I'm available I'd keep doing so because I know I've been learning many from preparing voice recordings. Compared to my very first one, I've overcome great fear of speaking in front of the microphone. Now I have much more confidence no matter what I record for voice blogging, or talk with friends. Besides, I'd pay close attention to the sound of the words I'm going to practice. Though some vowel sounds or syllables are still tricky that I'm not able to catch very well, at least I'd try not speak English without minding correct pronunciation. For the accent, at first I found hearing my Chinese accent very strange, and did try to imitate British or American accent, however hard I practiced, I couldn't make it perfectly; nevertheless, I've already accepted my accent, being used to hearing it as well.

Thanks to voice blogging, I have more chances to speak English than before, get more about related information of how to pronounce, and most importantly, it's really fun as if you were a broadcaster speaking on the air. ^_^  I do hope I could see more and more our members to join voice blogging in the upcoming year. Let's practice each other. Finally, I'm truly grateful for those who encourage and support my voice blogs, and don't mind reading or hearing my Chinish. Much appreciated

You are my favorite voice blogger.... hahaha... I really love reading your blogs. Thanks a lot for being a great example for us and for EC.
