I have problems about my English fluency.
I read books and it wrote I should read aloud and record it . "Repeated reading."Then, compare it with the record of a native speaker. However, I found not every reading has a tape .Can any one help me? Or I just compare with English 900.

I'd say that this exercise is kinda funny. If you want to improve pronounciation, talk to as many english-speakers as possible, in english. as well as this watch english movies and listen to enlish music. it doesn't nessicarily have to be a comparasen to your english and as well as that, there are many different pronounciations of words.
