Today is very cold, but luckily it isn’t raining. I kept the air conditioner on all day, and played games with my little baby. Although there was a little sunshine in the afternoon, the wind was so strong that I feared catching a cold, so I didn’t go out. Hopefully we will have good weather again soon, with no rain, no wind, and lots of sunshine.
I practice listening on Smart English website, but sometimes I cannot figure out my pronunciation mistakes. For example, understanding the difference in pronunciation between “slow” and “snow” is very difficult for me.
