Hello Jeny, 

I want to share some tips to help Ethan improve his speaking skills. 

Firstly, remember that stress is important in English. When you see underlined words, it means you should stress them when you say them out loud. Stressing the right words can make your speech clearer and more natural. 

Additionally, here are a few more tips: 

Pay attention to the rhythm of English sentences. English has a natural flow, so try to mimic it when you speak. 

Practice speaking slowly and clearly. This can help you avoid mistakes and make it easier for others to understand you. 

Don't be afraid to make mistakes! Practice makes perfect, so keep speaking, and don't worry too much about being perfect. And by the way, Ethan is doing great! Let’s practice again on Monday.
