S Make indirect requests and
suggestions. (Examples: I wouldn’t do that
if I were you; You might want to
reconsider; I don’t think
smoking is allowed here.)
Indirect requests are often used to enhance politeness. Think of three terrible habits that are dangerous to one's driving or health. Record your indirect suggestions on www.chirbit.com, and place the link on your blog, together with this question.

    Excellent job! Clear message!
    2 things to look at:
    1. /th/ or /s/ - think vs sink, three vs Sri, thank vs sank
    2. intonation ... pick 1 syllable in every clause for major focus. "my name is naTALiia." "i would like to buy the BLUE dress." "i'm SORry but we're out of it. could you choose a DIFferent colour?"

    Suggestion for ALL your Vocaroo audio, Nataliia: As Vocaroo typically deletes its audio clips in a couple of months, I would strongly recommend saving them as MP3s into your Google Drive (drive.google.com) and share the new Google Drive links in place of these Vocaroo links.
    Could perhaps do that when you have time before they delete all your good work?
