Journal for Voice

Today is the first day of this semester. I have to study again and again, and my speaking skill still not improve.
so today we was studing about how to speak high and low pitch. It was weird for me because I am not get used to it.
But It may be good though.
Today we have to find a Poem becasue it is our final exam. We have to read it in correctly way. We have to pronouce ever word also. I will try to speak slowly and clearly. The teacher gave us an appointment for private lesson also. My private lesson is next week.
Today we played game about how to write the word in IPA. My team was lost but it was okay. It was so difficult.
But it was good for us to know how to say many word in correctly way.And we have to take an IPA exam next week. I am afraid about it.
Today was my first appointment and it was so bad. I spent 20 minute for just one word. " CASE " was that word because we have mix two sound together. I have to practice that word alot. I hope I can do it soon.
Today I ask my US friend that when I speak it sounds like a monotone? and he say yes a little bit. Maybe am not used to it. My teacher said Asain people use to speak flat tone or in the same tone. In English we have to speak up and down . Like when we sing a song.
Today the teacher touch us to speak every word. We have to speak lounder and slowly and clearly. Like an insane people. He said it helps a lot then OK I will try.
My problem is TH sound because my toung is very strong so it gonna be difficult for me. like the word "This That "
and The performence is coming I have to practice. and speak slowly and make up and down when I speak with people.
My Voice and Articulate is the third class in a day. I am always hungry and feel sleepy all the time. Sometimes the teacher let us lay down on the floor and take a deep breath. That time I can take a nap also. Sometimes I hear my Thai friend snore beside me. The teache likes to turn on music when we lay down and take a deep breath. The music makes us easy to feel sleep. It is good for Kay and me to sleep.
Today I had an appointment with teacher again. this time I can say "CASE" but still have another problem. TH sound was my problem.It was so weird to move my toungh out of my mouth. but I have to at first I thought it was the same like D sound but it different.
Today the time was running so fast. or It was because I was sleeping in the class. I dont know about my speaking skill much but most of the time people can understand it. So it's find but sometime I have to repeat it again and again.
Today I listen to the Voice CD and I dont know excactly which one that the teacher wants us to listen so I just listen it all. I think it was useful to listen it. to learn how to speak and to learn how to speak up and down. It depends on our emotion.
Today is the last day of appointment. The teacher said I have to practice to speak up and down because when I speak was like a monotone. and I confused he said I have to record my voice and listen to it.
Why I have to write this journal I dont know what am gonna write anymore nothing spacial for today and everyday in the past. and it not gonna improve my speaking skill. huhhhh it still be my homework.
