Hi,
Thank you for your support guys. As you know we can improve our communication skills mostly by listening to what others are speaking. So I have attached a audio. Click the play button and listen to the audio.
If you can't understand what is said in the audio, read the transcription below the audio so that you can follow what is said in the audio. Also you can note the pronunciation for each and every word.
First of all, don't worry about not having a native-English accent. It's important to be able to speak clearly, so that people can understand you. However, it's almost impossible to sound exactly like a native English speaker if you are learning English as an adult in a non-English speaking country.
However, there are many things that you can do to improve your pronunciation and your speaking skills.
1. Listen to spoken English as often as possible.
Listen to how speakers pronounce various words and phrases and "model" your pronunciation on what you hear.
2. Learn the phonetic alphabet.
Use the phonetic alphabet page (at the beginning of most good dictionaries) as a guide to pronouncing new words.
3. Don't forget to learn the word stress of a new word.
Every English word has its own stress, or intonation. For example, the word "believe" has two syllables (be and lieve), but only the second syllable is stressed. We say be'lieve and not 'be lieve. Your dictionary will show the syllable stress by an apostrophe (') before the syllable to be stressed.
Word stress is important. In fact, it is more likely that someone misunderstands you because of wrong word stress than because of the wrong pronunciation of a sound.
4. Work out which sounds cause you most problems in English.
Depending on what your first language is, you may have problems with certain sounds. For example, French speakers have difficulties with "th"; speakers of Mandarin have difficulties with "r" or "l", and Arabic speakers have difficulties with "p" and "b".
5. Practise the sounds you find difficult.
A useful exercise is a "minimal pair" exercise. For example, if you have difficulty distinguishing between "p" and "b", try practising pairs of words which are the same except for the sound "p" and "b":
For example, "pair" and "bear"; "pond" and "bond"; "pie" and "buy" etc.
6. Be aware of intonation and sentence stress.
Not all words in a sentence have equal stress, and generally only the "information" words (nouns and verbs) are stressed.
7. Learn to recognise spelling patterns.
For example, "tion" on the end of a word is pronounced "shun", while "sion" can be pronounced "zhun". There are often many ways to pronounce a particular spelling pattern, but it certainly helps to know what the variations are. For example, the pattern "ough" can be pronounced "uff" as in "enough" and "tough", or "or" as in "ought" and "bought" or "oh" as in "although" and "dough".
8. Don't rush.
If you speak too fast, the danger is that you could skip over some words, fail to pronounce them completely, or mix them up. If you speak too slowly, you might end up sounding unnatural. But it's better to speak slowly and clearly than too quickly.
Comments are welcome.

Hello anyone,
The following is an explanation of how different penis exercises work:
Milk. Jelqing is probably the oldest technique for Male Enhancement was (used by nomadic tribes of Arabia.) Movement is similar to “milking” the penis to the amount of blood, the corpora Covernosa (the penis fills with blood increase during filling and enhanced erections ), your penis more visible. The important fact is that jelqing, if performed regularly, can permanently increase the size of the Covernosa corporations and therefore the size of his penis (length and girth). That’s why you should see a great site like[url=http://www.howtomakepenisbiggernow.net]how to make your penis bigger[/url] No expansion of natural penis exercises work
The study was published in the British Journal of Urology International in 2006. In the study the researchers followed a group of men with small penises who were willing to use penis pumps three times a week, for twenty minutes each session, over a period of six months. The device that was used was not a sex shop style penis pump, it was a clinically tested vacuum erection device.
At the end of the study there was an average increase of 0.3 centimeters, which is not statistically significant. But interestingly, even though this average increase is minor, 30% of the men who participated said they were satisfied with the “treatment”. Surgery for [URL=http://www.howtomakepenisbiggernow.net/ProvenPenisEnlargement.html]proven penis enlargement[/url] Enlargement
Surgery offers the only permanent solution for enlargement of the [URL=http://www.howtomakepenisbiggernow.net/ProvenPenisEnlargement.html]proven penis enlargement[/url]. Through surgery, the [url=http://www.howtomakepenisbiggernow.net]how to make penis bigger[/url] can be visually enlarged, usually by just over an inch. The surgeon will cut the ligaments that hold the [url=http://www.howtomakepenisbiggernow.net]best penis enlargement[/url] in its usual position and this allows the [url=http://www.howtomakepenisbiggernow.net]how to make your penis bigger[/url] to descend. Weights, or stretching devices, are then used for a few months to effect a permanent increase in size. The procedure may result in scar tissue, the erection will point down, and the base of the [URL=http://www.howtomakepenisbiggernow.net/makingpenisbigger.html]making penis bigger[/url] will be hairy.
Another surgical technique is known as a dermal implant. Girth and length can be increased by transplanting fat cells from other parts of the body to the [url=http://www.howtomakepenisbiggernow.net]how to make your penis bigger[/url]. As the size of head of the [URL=http://www.howtomakepenisbiggernow.net/makingpenisbigger.html]how to make your penis bigger[/url] cannot be increased the results can be visually rather odd.
Sometimes the distribution of the grafted cells results in clumping and a gives a far from smooth result. Many Urologists will not perform this type of surgery unless there are good therapeutic reasons.
