[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!

Ahh Narendra you're just saying that! I knew I messed up my tenses there, hehehe.
But anyway, thanks buddy for giving me a tap in my shoulders as always...
Hmm, I want to hear your story too, where is it now? C'mmon, you don't want me to wait, do you? hehehe...(I'm a little impatient, you know!)
Poor Old Lady! Fortunately, the police managed to found this thief.

Exellent recording Narendra! Keep up the great work. You sound very natural.

But wait again..Hmm! Where's the comprehension and discussion answers? C'mmon it's not that hard as I thought it was. After answering in my own words..woowh I was so happy to finally able to do it..(even with many mistakes) :)

Have you tried plugging in headphones when you speak? It might reduce some of the background noise. Give it a try.
Dear Tara
Jotted down the stress , thank you .
Yes I record headphones on with the volume at zero, yet , the disturbance still persists :(
Most probably I will change the time I record , to night .
