I preferre to speak English with perfect accuracy with an accent because like this I can tell my mind and my opinion
ReplyDeleteI'd like to speak accurately with my mother tounge accent because with accuracy people could understand what I say. If I can't state my opinion or thoughts clearly, no matter how perfect my pronunciation is, people wil not catch my idea and will even get confused by my words. Then, I would feel extremely bad by the situation. So, I would try my very best to talk to people with correct grammatical skills although I have my Chinese accent.
ReplyDeleteI would like to speak accurately even though with my mother tounge accent. Because if I cannot state my opinion or my thoughts clearly, no matter how perfect my pronunciation is, people still cannot understand what I say. So, I would try my very best to talk to people with correct grammartical skills although I have my Chinese accent.
ReplyDeleteI would prefer to speak English with perfect grammar and pronunciation.I wouldn't use a fake accent ,but try to speak the words correctly,so that People would understand what iam talking about.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I like to speak good english the same Amarican. But I have to had perfect grammar first. Then I could talk with any body when I work or go out, and my parents would very happy with that. But with my skills now, I will continue study perfect grammar or pronunciation. I will feel comfortable more with my knowlege.
ReplyDeleteI have never really thought about this before...
ReplyDeleteI have learned Spanish as a second language and am very proficient, but my grammar and spelling are horrible!! So, I would want better grammar skills. But, for an immigrant to America I think that having better speech abilities is extremely important. Lets face it; how often are you judged by a document, but rather than by how you present yourself?
