When you write your paragraphs, please put numbers to the sounds.
For example:
1.Write your two paragraphs.
-During my first year at An Giang University, I learned that to make new friends and not be alone, I could not be shy. I am a foreigner living in a strange country for the first, full time, which makes it important for me to try to change my philosophy and perspective on friendship and friendliness. While I wasn’t very old when I started, I was clearly had to mature and create time to care for others. As an English teacher, I would sometimes feel very tired but I knew it was important to maintain a real effort….(and so on and so on)
2. Look at this chart. You can see that if you can match a word to a sound. If a word matches a sound, then write a number behind the word.
