1. Things I learned and did today:

We worked in groups and made a great clusters on which we tried to reflect features of Russian accent. There were to things to mention. They are consonants, vowels and intonation patterns.

2. For today, my English speech has the following features of Russian accent:
of course it is the wrong use of tunes.

3. I would give 6 points out of ten for my pronunciation today because it was not great enough.

4. For today, English speech of my partner has the following features of Russian accent:

My partner spoke great: fluently enough and with English tones.

5. I would give 10 points out of ten for my partner's pronunciation today because her speech was  worthy of the highest score!

6. Impressions for today's lesson:

It was interesting to experience a new work on the lesson. We had a creative task to make a colourful cluster using our knowledge of English. Working in groups allow us to do them quickly. Of course we had fun. In the end of the lesson we had some work to do so we take our clusters to finish them at home. 

7. To improve my pronunciation, I should do the following task at home:

I think I have to do some shadowing. Probably I'll watch two video on youtube.com and repeat phrases. 

      Reflection on LOT sound exercises and the video of 3rd dialogue

1. My partner Julia gave me 10 points out of 10 for correct pronunciation of the sound because as she said it was quite good. She gave me 8 points for intonation patterns because of the mistakes in intonations. But unfortunately I don't understand quite well what sentences were with wrong intonation. My partner didn't find any mistakes in my speech and her general impression was good.

To conclude I would like to say that I need to work harder on my intonation.

2. Evaluating my dialogue video my groupmates said that the intonation patterns weren't very good and the video wasn't creative. So I agree with this opinion because it really needs in improvement.
