I have a question about practicing oral English.
Teachers always tell us to imitate, but there are so many audio materials:movies, speeches, our text books and so on.
With so many materials, I'm a bit confused.
How should I choose?
I can look up words in the dictionary to correct my wrong pronunciation, but I think imitate is the only way to correct my wrong intonation.
The TV program "Friends" might be a good choice.
But when I tried yesterday, I found it took a long time for me to imitate what they said (one or two hours to imitate their 2~3 minutes'speaking).
I also met the same problem today.
Maybe it'll be good just keep focusing on imitate one person's speaking (Like a speech on TED talk can be better? ).
Many students in China have the problem that sometimes they speak British English, and sometimes speak American English.
I'm one of them, and I want to correct it.
