Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answers.
There are several features of spoken English that make it difficult for me to understand. First, many words are not pronounced as they are spelled, so when I learn new words through reading, I sometimes don't understand them they are spoken. Second, native speakers contract words and phrases. "What are you doing?" becomes "Whatcha doin"?" In my opinion, people should write clearly. Third, native speakers have a wide range of accents. A British accent is very different from a Texas one. Fourth, thère are lots of idioms and slang expression. These expressions also differ depending on the area a speaker is from. Finally, there are sounds that don't exist in my language that do exist in English and vice versa. These sounds are difficult for me to distinguish.
