Listening Practice IV

Hello, guys! Today I wanna share my exercises again to you.

First, I watched video from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nAnT3PASak and I feel excited with it. Because in that video, we can see the huge difference between American English and British English. It's quite difficult for me because I always use American English than British. However, some important things that I can learn from this video is about the word 'r' and 't'. In American English, the pronunciation of letter 'r' is clear, not like British English. We can compare it with oxford dictionary. You can see the difference. Like another. In American English that word we should say it clear for the 'r', it's totally different with British without 'r' clearly.

 It's same with letter 't'. The huge difference you can see if we try to say it together. For the example, we want to say matter. In American we don't have to say with 't' but 'd' pronunciation. In British there are no changes.

This is very interesting. As English Student, I know it's important. We should pay attention to the word, and we can start to use British one because our direction is Oxford, it is based on British English, not American English.

                   
Second, I've practiced from http://www.esl-lab.com/. I listened two recordings. 

The first recording is First Date. In this conversation I got the point, the daughter asked to her father to have a date, but the father never know if her daughter has a guy. I got 80% on the score. I know it's shame, because it is an easy level. How about the medium? I chose Haven't We Met Before?. The man and the woman makes a conversation. The man thought he ever met with that woman, so he felt curious and asking the questions. Unfortunately, the woman doesn't feel interested with that man. It proves from the last conversation, she said 'perhaps' when the man asked her to come along with him. I got 80% again because one answer was incorrect.
