Why not look for a native speaker?

The payment is intriguing, I'm interested. But where r u?

To Joe: a native speaker asks for a price much higher than this.

640 talks, but it's hard to believe how you did get it through the post up here.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I rekcon you better get to
firstly review the interaction in terms of your overall English skills, then virtually go
through rhetoric. Even you are fluent in English, yet with quite a few mistakes, it
doesn't mean business that you are good at verbal English.

Good advice is harsh to the ear, hopefully you will be keeping my recommendation
in mind.

Cheers,
suckdog

pronoucination is not that important
wether you can express yourself clearly and concisely is monmentous

Frankly, there were two proverbs cited up in my thread, I bet you would be
fine if you could check them out.
Honestly, I afraid if I ruled out those proverbs and replaced my idea on a
direct way, that would probably be hurting Frank's feeling.
(BTW, have you realised the various style between frankly and honestly?
hope you will.)

to dodo and summer, I dont agree with you guys, natives always laugh at
those people who can not even talk (in English) because of their very poor
pronunciation. Pls keep in mind, otherwise you're gonna be inferior in
communicating with natives in overseas.

Actually we ARE gonna study abroad, but unfortunately, it's not Aus but the US. Probably that's why we have difficulties communicating with each other.

No offense, but I do have some problems reading what u wrote suckdog. It's weired because we've all read about orginal papers for quite a long time, and this is the first time I have such feelings. Maybe my English is in need of improving or something. sigh...

yep, tell me how things affect you after you have been to the US.
I reckon you will be realising what I was talking about. It's not due to
what stuff you have been validly reading, yet who you have been
socially communicating.

This time I understand what you mean. Thanks for your advice. But maybe you've worried about us too much. I've known summer for a long time, and her English, I mean pronunciation, is much better than most of the Chinese I've ever met.

Plus, many of my American and British friends have told me the essence of communication lies not only in the way you pronounce but more importantly in the way you express yourself.

ha, I'm not gonna be the president of America because I was deprived of the right by law. :D And I have no plans for a political life by now. Also, I always believe a spokesman overwhelms a politician not by his pronunciation or posh accent, but what exactly he want to do.
