Be a Newscaster (2011)

[Note: With almost 10,000 comments here we have decided to start a NEW thread for 2012.  Please join us at Be a Newscaster 2012!]

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!

  • Hi Everybody!
    • Great report as always, Mayumi! There was one place where I think your voice went up at the end of a sentence instead of down: 

      The closure is related to a phone-hacking scandal, dating back to 2006.

       

      Be careful with the word boxes. The /o/ here should rhyme with socks, fox, talks, as in the word "on". 

      Also, see my note above to Nadira about the word "advertisers". 

    • This is an excellent recording Nsottin! Thanks for joining us here. 

       

      You may want to check your pronunciation of celebrity. The second /e/ should sound like the e in bed.  

    • Hi nsottin

      Your reading is clear as  an anchor  should be:))

       

      At the initial of your recordings  there is another back ground  sound.

       

    • Thank you Nadira, most kind of you

  • Thailand Elects First Female Prime Minister

     

    Dear Tara, I tried to correct the pronunciation of "S" that I had problem with in this part. Thanks a lot!

    • HI  Nafis

       

      It  was really  pleasant  listening and I enjoyed  the flow of your accent in reading the  news on "Thailand Elects First Female Prime Minister"

      Awaiting  to hear  your  next  Bulletin  sweet nafis
