Do you have a READING HABIT? If you do, why don't you READ SOMETHING for our club members' LISTENING PLEASURE? It can be an interesting NEWS taken from a Newspaper, a SHORT STORY that you read recently or ANYTHING that you feel worth sharing. It will help you with your READING SKILL and PRONUNCIATION. The club members, meanwhile, can sharpen their LISTENING SKILL. This activity will definitely help both the SPEAKERS and LISTENERS with their English. This is a GOOD OPPORTUNITY that I don't want you to miss. Happy Speaking and Listening!
HERE IS WHAT YOU DO:
1. GET READY your READING MATERIAL.
2. GO to CHIRBIT voice "RECORDING and SHARING" site.
3. RECORD reading your piece and SUBMIT it.
4. [Or, you can UPLOAD a pre-recorded sound file from your computer!]
5. COPY the EMBEDDING CODE (HTML code) and COME TO THIS PAGE.
6. CLICK the "MEDIA" button (the third one) on the TOOLBAR of your COMMENT BOX.
7. PASTE your EMBEDDING CODE and PRESS the button "Ok". That's it!
Let me get the ball rolling. Here's my MAIDEN VOICE RECORDING.
Note: I humbly request all the PARTICIPANTS and LISTENERS to COMMENT and CORRECT after listening to one's audio recording. It would be impossible for me to do that all by myself. Sometimes I may not be even around. Thus, I need your help to keep this page active. THIS IS OUR GROUP. Thank you!

Good choice of poetry, Shaheen. Pretty challenging. I'd not dare to read such a difficult passage.

Hi guys! Here is my one more recording.
W.H. Auden is the one of my favourite poets. I like this war-poet's poetry very much.The choice of "O What is that Sound" is really favourite one of mine. I hope, , you're gonna like it too.
O What Is That Sound
W. H. Auden
O what is that sound which so thrills the ear
Down in the valley drumming, drumming?
Only the scarlet soldiers, dear,
The soldiers coming.
O what is that light I see flashing so clear
Over the distance brightly, brightly?
Only the sun on their weapons, dear,
As they step lightly.
O what are they doing with all that gear,
What are they doing this morning, morning?
Only their usual manoeuvres, dear,
Or perhaps a warning.
O why have they left the road down there,
Why are they suddenly wheeling, wheeling?
Perhaps a change in their orders, dear,
Why are you kneeling?
O haven't they stopped for the doctor's care,
Haven't they reined their horses, horses?
Why, they are none of them wounded, dear,
None of these forces.
O is it the parson they want, with white hair,
Is it the parson, is it, is it?
No, they are passing his gateway, dear,
Without a visit.
O it must be the farmer that lives so near.
It must be the farmer so cunning, so cunning?
They have passed the farmyard already, dear,
And now they are running.
O where are you going? Stay with me here!
Were the vows you swore deceiving, deceiving?
No, I promised to love you, dear,
But I must be leaving.
O it's broken the lock and splintered the door,
O it's the gate where they're turning, turning;
Their boots are heavy on the floor
And their eyes are burning.

Nice one. Really. That echo sounds very creative. May I be so bold as to compliment your reciting which flows freely, without any hesitation, fluently... Good job, Shaheen.
It's my Pleasure, O.M.
