my daughter has an english assignment, and she needs a "voiceover" to start her presentation off. i was going to help her but my english is embarrasing, i dont want her to take that to school, hah.
it would be just lovely if one of you englishtalkers, could please take the short little time it takes to read these few lines and mail them to me? no fancy setup, internal laptop-mic is fine, just read:
HI SARAH, THIS IS YOUR BOSS CALLING. I HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT FOR YOU. YOU ARE GOING TO WRITE AN ARTICLE ABOUT WORLD ENGLISHES. YOU ARE GOING TO TRAVEL TO INDIA, AFRICA AND AUSTRALIA, TO DO SOME RESEARCH ABOUT THESE THREE VARIATIONS OF ENGLISH. HAVE A PLEASANT JOURNEY, AND GOOD LUCK!
please, please, please?

Isn't your daughter a little young for you to be making her work at a job that requires her to travel to all these places?
I mean, Australia? That island has poisonous snakes, crocodiles, and australians!

You should make it sound like Homer Simpson imitating Mr Burns.

Zanf: while a bit akward, English can be used as a noun and thus can be made plural, according to dictionary.com
I had to go check, though. That line seemed akward to me, too.
Still, I dont see why Sarah's boss has to yell at her.
