Speech+Self Correction

Last week we were talking about the following topic:Does travel broaden your mind?after we talked and discussed we recorded the following MP3 with our personal opinion:


My mistakes were:

*Abroaden->broaden
*Travel->travelling
*Meet cultures ->find cultures
*Another->other
*Best people like you->people who are better than you
*Not only with the Money also The way of being a person->not only talking about Money also talking about being a better person
*And transform you into a best person->and change you into a better person.
*Yes,another types of ways of living->another ways of living
*Yes,it’s a way of entertainment and enjoying->yes,it’s a way of entertainment and enjoyment
*Yes,it’s a all positive way of being a best person->yes,it’s an all positive way of being a better person.
*I think it’s better for you,and..->I think It’s the best for you



The mistakes I noticed first were the wrong phrases not the gramatical mistakes

Yes...you are having problems with grammar.... for example, look at your 1st phrase. The correct version is "Does travelling broaden your mind?"

"Poor way of living"____
poor living standards

"people living worst than you're living....people living best than you"_______
worse than ....better than....

"costumes"____
traditions or habits (please NB costmes mean "disfraces")


All in all your ideas are understandable, which is positive, but more work, of course, is crucial, as they are not very well expressed from the point of view of the logical "precision" needed for an FCE exam.
