*Why Do We Need Friends?* Friends are very important in our lives. We all need people to talk to, laugh with, and spend time with. When we feel sad or happy, friends are there to listen and share our feelings. They help us when we have problems and celebrate with us when something good happens. Friends also help us learn new things and try new activities. With friends, we are not alone. We feel stronger and more confident. At school or at work, friends make the day better and more fun. Good friends are kind, honest, and caring. They don’t judge us. They accept us the way we are. It’s important to be a good friend, too — to listen, help, and respect others. In life, things change, but good friends stay in our hearts. That’s why we all need friends — to share life, love, and support each other.

English students: Can you relate to this? You want to sound more clear and understandable to a native English speaker. Not just have people understand a few of your words then assume what you're actually saying. But to have your listeners completely understand you instantly without having to make any assumptions or use 'context' clues. Maybe you've never had someone from the United States judge your speaking before. Maybe you've only had friends and family judge your speaking and they haven't offered much in regards to what you should improve on. If you've never had someone from the US judge your speaking and you want to sound more American then let me know. I have pronunciation classes, conversation classes and more available!
