Are you planning to take a flight anytime soon? Here are some of the questions you'll probably hear in the airport and some example answers:
How many pieces of luggage do you have?
Only one.
Did you pack your luggage yourself?
Yes, I did.
Has anyone given you anything to take on the flight?
No, they haven't.
Do you have any hand-luggage?
Yes, I have one bag.
What's the meaning of "Thanks for giving me a ride"?
I often have problems to pronounce correctly adverbs, nouns and adjectives.

Let's make some examples:
acronym (I put the accent on o :Error and horror!)
exclusive
defective
defects

The time has come to speak of Uncle Len. Those of you with a better than average memory may remember me mentioning him in passing a couple of months ago. Uncle Len is a lawyer, and he sort of warned me that if his name ever appeared in any of my articles, he would sue me so hard that my children’s children’s children would still be paying his children’s children’s children damages long after the two of us were dead and gone.
