The Oral Practice which ma'am Gave Us

Few days ago,ma'am gave us oral practices.She also gave us the "oral notes".The notes were very important to us because if we read them,our oral would get better.The marks we would get would be also high.I felt that the notes were very worth and precious.They were just like gold to me.Many people know that most Singaporeans speak"singlish".We must not speak"singlish".First,we practised our "pronounciation".Pronounciations are very important to us,because when we pronounce the words wrongly,even one short word,the marks would get"pulled down",so we must pronounce words clearly.This will make people understand what are we talking about.Second,we practised the"tongue twisters".Actually,it is not that by reading tongue twisters will make your tongue twist.It is actually that that words in the tongue twisters is sometimes quite alike as the other words in pronounciation.It is quite easy to read the tongue twisters.They are fun and interesting.Third,we practised our intonation.pace and volume by reading passages.Sometimes,we need to read the words in "highs"and"lows".We also need to stop a while when reading.This is called phrasing.Lastly,fourth,when we are telling stories,we need to read informally,which means we can read them in "highs"and"lows".But when we are reading an important news report,we need to read it formally,which means we must not read in"highs"and"lows".We must read it in just a little bit of "highs"and"lows".I can remember that some of my classmates went to perform the "singlish" and the wrong pronounciations.It was very funny and all of us laughed.I would like to thank ma'am for giving us the oral practices to train ourselves.I would also like to thank some of my classmates for bringing us the joy and laughter by performing on the school stage.
