Thailand Five - Text

The subject, who submitted the sample himself, was 17 years old and a high school student. He writes, "I was born and raised in Thailand, but I spent a year in Alexandria, VA. I started learning English when I was very young that I can't even remember who was my first teacher. But I know for sure that Oxford Dictionary is the one that helps me the most. I own a CD version of it and therefore I'm able to listen to the sound of English. In the sound file I read the first two paragraphs of Comma Gets A Cure and the rest I was talking about myself and my time spent in the US."
