Every Tuesday English Club publishes a weekly news report. There is a self study exercise to go with the story.

You can practise your speaking by recording your voice as you read the transcript. Upload your report in the comments below by using a program like Audioboo, or by recording it on your computer and using the paperclip above to upload the MP3 file. You can share your recording each week.

You can also record yourself answering the discussion question. Have fun!

After a very very long break in newscasting I decided to have my comeback :).

Here it is :

P.S.

If you notice my voice is like buried six feet from the ground due to my cold. Sorry for that.

Hello, I think I've been partial towards the crew in my discussion question. I'm really looking forward to hear your opinions folks. BFN

  Wow! Round of applause for you nsottin. You're always see to it that you answer the comprehension and discussion question along with your recordings. You're such a hard worker..
  
  You set a good example for me to work on my laziness to think...and just says my opinion on the topic. I'll try my best next time to put my views..But can't promise on some difficult questions. :))
  
  About your pronunciation, while listening to you I didn't have any problem understanding your words. It was very very clear.
  
  By the way, the new discussion for our Be a newscaster 2012 has just been opened. We will wait for you there..:)
  
  Take care...

Best Regards,

  Hello Selma, Ganaa, Rajesh and Vesper!
  
  Count me in, guys! I had the same issue!! I was kicked in the teeth and landed on Page 1 when every time I clicked the number for Page 136 :- (
  
  I had to leave the results in the lap of gods! It’s surprising that things started to work as per normal when Selma’s comments budded a new leaf – Page 137. It’s funny, isn’t it? Thank you Selma!
