あきやすみ

みなさん、こんいちは!
あきやすみはいいですね。わたしはプリンストンにいました、でもじゅぎょうがありませんでした。まいにちラボでエクスペリメントをしました、そしてまいべんたいいくかんにいきました。どようびにシコクスでうちにかえりました。シコクスはニューヨークのちかですよ。ちさいとしずかなまちです。いいですね。

じゃ、また!

PE evaluation/new goals

Overall, I'm happy with the progress I've made so far in the PE exercises. One thing I've focused on and will continue to focus on is my pitch. I think my pitch is getting better through the shadowing exercises, and I think my ability to recognize pitch more quickly has gotten better with the listening exercises.The first half of PE exercises have been really helpful for me.

For future goals, first I want to continue to improve my pitch. Second, I want to work on keeping my speech natural more consistently - when I listen to my recordings, sometimes I'm impressed with how I handle certain lines but pretty disappointed with others. Also, what I noticed in my newest recording is that I'm not articulating my consonants clearly enough, so this is something new I want to work on.
