6. CHOOSE AN ACCENT YOU LIKE AND IMITATE IT.
Accent is a way of pronouncing the words of a language that shows which country, area or social
class a person comes from. Different countries have different accents when their citizens speak

11. REPLACE REGULAR VERBS WITH PHRASAL VERBS.
A phrasal verb is a combination of a verb and preposition, a verb and an adverb, or a verb with both
an adverb and a preposition.
A phrasal verb has a meaning which is different from the original verb. That's what makes them fun,
but confusing. You may need to try to guess the meaning from the context, or, failing that, look it up
in a dictionary.

Reading aloud is not the same as speaking naturally. Practise for 5 or 10 minutes a day and you will
begin to notice which sounds are difficult for you to produce. Find transcripts of natural dialogues,
and practise acting them with a friend, you will also learn common phrases which we use when
speaking as well.
