Day 23  Date 17/05/2018

• 
  
•  Things I learned and did today: I practiced how to do tonogramms and transcriptions and did tasks to memorize the examples of assimilation. I was getting ready for the Final Pass.
• For today, my English speech has the following features of Russian accent: from time to time I make a mistake in pronunciation of bilabial “w”(instead of it, labiodentals “v”)
• I  would give 6  points out of 10 for my pronunciation today because my intonation was incorrect because of  mistakes in the intonation (attitude of grumble, L-R, F-R)
• For today, English speech of my partner has the following features of Russian accent: Dark “l”, wrong stresses in some of the words, problems with nuclear tones (F-R and L-R)
•  I would give points 7 out of 10 for my partner’s pronunciation today because of mistakes in the pronunciation of “l” sound.
• Impressions for today’s lesson: We did a lot of important and useful work that helped to understand my mistakes ( in the tonogramm and reading) and got rid of them. Now I’ll focus on these aspects.
• To improve my results, I should do the following task at home:  I will do exercises on assimilation and tonogrammes and reading tasks.
