In this task, I was required to read a happy or good news with happy voice. However, from this first audio, I find that my voice and pronunciation are not really clear.

Second recording:

From this second audio, I can hear some improvement of my voice. Even so, I still have small problem in pronunciation and intonation. So, I need to practice time and again.

 Below is the text of the news that I have read in these audios.


 * Villagers Keen On Power Plant**


 * LAHAD DATU:** Villagers in the coastal Kampung Sinakut, Felda Sahabat, are excited that a 300MW coal-fired power plant will be built near their village.

Resort worker Gasali Djunaidi, 23, said he looked forward to the project.

"Of course, I'm happy. Electricity here means more people will come to the resort and more business for us is definitely a good thing."

The Felda Residence Sahabat resort is just 3km away from the proposed site.

Kampung Sinakut religious leader Abdul Mutalib Alias, 59, also expressed support for the project.

He said 20 villagers had been taken for a tour at coal-fired plants in the peninsula.

"At first, we objected to the idea of having the plant here but after visits to similar plants in Manjung, Perak, and Kapar in Selangor, we have a better idea of how it works."

Construction of the coal-fired power plant is expected to start in September.

Lahad Datu Energy project manager Ahmad Faraid Mohammed Yahya said the plant was designed to meet all requirements set by the Environment Department.
