Let’s practice pronunciation. Read the following passage:

Last summer, Joel and Sara traveled to England for two weeks. They traveled in August and
stayed in a college with other students in London. It was really fantastic because they
talked a lot to students from different nationalities and learned a lot about other cultures
and they practiced their English. In the
morning they studied and they asked the
teacher to speak slowly when necessary
and answered her questions. In the
afternoon they visited different places or
played sports. They often walked down to
the beach with their friends. In the
evening, they sometimes watched movies
or played board games. The best days
were Saturdays and Sundays because they
traveled to London and visited all the
monuments like the Big Ben, The London
Eye, etc. They wanted to see the Queen but they didn’t. They liked everything in the city.
At the end of the two weeks, they returned home. They cried when they said “good bye” to
their friends there, but they promised to come back.
