Do you think English Language Is Hard?

If you can pronounce correctly every word in this POEM you will be speaking English better than 90% of the English speakers in the world.

But be careful how you speak:

Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;

Cloven, oven, how and low,

Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.

Hear me say, devoid of trickery,

Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,

Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,

Exiles, similes, and reviles;

Scholar, vicar, and cigar,

Solar, mica, war and far;

One, anemone, Balmoral,

Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel

    Well...you're asking a person with a hard to break Chinese accent to read this poem. No I didn't pronounce every one of them correctly.
