THE HOW TO BE BRITISH COLLECTION REVIEW
By Mariya Popovich, 10b

I’ve read some chapters from the non-fiction book under the title The How To Be British Collection. The authors of the book are Martin Ford and Peter Legion.  Chapter number 9 is extraordinary. The authors decided to give readers some advice for true pronunciation. There are four tongue-twisters in this chapter and everybody will be able to practise their English pronunciation. Now I try to read them sometimes out loud and I think that my speech is becoming better.

YOU CAN HAVE A TRY, TOO!

There's no point having perfect grammar and a vast vocabulary if no one can understand what you're saying. If you are worried about your pronunciation, PRACTISE THESE USEFUL SENTENCES AT HOME ALONE.

Mother and Father left Rotherham last Thursday, wandered hither and thither, then thumbed a lift to Thirsk.

Larry rarely allows Lily and Rory a lift in the lorry, but Laura regularly lets Roland lie languidly on her lilo.

While Archie shimmied with Sheila, Sacha cha cha cha-ed with Shirley.

One windy Wednesday, wealthy widow Wendy Williams went to visit Westminster vet Victoria Vince to view her lovely violets.

I recommend this book to everybody who is interested in the culture of Great Britain. You won`t be disappointed!!!
