hi noren,

i am quite bewilded by your post but you are free to think the way you do. i don’t understand what you mean by “boost my egoism”. english is my first language so i am not proud to speak english at all. i would be proud to speak say…french or something else but not english.

i do agree that i type without capitalising and with some errors as i don’t proof read things since this is just an internet forum. i never said my english or chinese are perfect anyway…

i must say, i find some of your comments such as " So, first of all, improve your Spelling, grammar etc. then you can go and boost your egoism" very ironic indeed…

Hello! Thank you in advance for listenig my message as I realy need your comments and advice. Working as an english-speaking guide I prefer to sound more natural and do not learn the texts by heart. Doing work in this way I have to formulate my thoughts clearly and carry on speaking for consederable period of time. It reqieres quite a good knowledge of vocabulary and accurate pronanciation.

Hi Dragon,
First of all, you must have mic & speaker properly set up in your system.

Click on the record voice message, and follow the instruction that will be shown on the screen. I think this will resolve your problem.

Hi Alan and Team…
Today I will try to record my voice… please corrected me.
So many people want to know how to improve their English grammar skills. Well, Alan Townend whose essay you are just reading, has created a unique collection of funny short stories for you. Those stories are designed in a very specific way so that each of them deals with a particular grammar item. I’ve been using Alan’s stories both as a learner as well as a teacher of English and all my students were excited about them. Now you can get your very own copy of Alan Townend’s

Dear All…

Thanks.

Hello there, could any native speaker comment on my english accent, accuracy, and fluency, please?
Thanks in advance,

Dear Noren Lee,

With regard to your question about my photo, I can say “yes, it’s my real photo.”
I took it from the laptop camera, so the quality is not very good.
I can understand your curiosity.

I prefer this nickname, so just call me Greendragon.

Have a good day.
Greendragon

With Regards
