fearing that my words may mislead people since I don't have the expertise in accent correction. What I feel is right could be wrong, and what works for me might not work for others.
I went back to my earlier reading of this passage, and found that after 35 days of practice, my improvement was obviously far less than yours at the current stage.
I pulled out the original recording, and tried to learn from it one more time. Just to share with you, below is what I learned, again, from the tape. Keep going, swan.
Lesson 35 Stop / thief!
Roy Trenton used to drive a taxi. / A short while ago, however, / he became a bus driver / and he has not regretted it. / He is finding his new work far more exciting. / When he was driving along Catford Street recently, / he saw two thieves rush out of a shop and run towards a waiting car. / One of them was carrying a bag full of money. / Roy acted quickly / and drove the bus straight at the thieves. / The one with the money got such a fright / that he dropped the bag. / As the thieves were trying to get away in their car, / Roy drove his bus into the back of it. / While the battered car was moving away, / Roy stopped his bus and telephoned the police. / The thieves' car was badly damaged and easy to recognize. / Shortly afterwards, / the police stopped the car / and both men were arrested.
