"Hey guys, thanks for coming back.
Please let me know about some sentences that you can`t understand
and you may freely check my prononciations and intonations that you think
they are weird and awkard and slurred before you will see my actual script that my friends checked earlier.
Oh,I just want you to know that I am still looking for friends who study Korean
and who will help me study English on Skype. Thanks.
Have you guys ever worked handing out pamphlets or as a milkman?
I was the guy who made money handing out pamphlets to people on the streets when I was in
high school.
It was illegal for minors to work in places like restaurants, department stores, etc.
so that there was nothing I [could] do but to work in
a high-rise apartment to make an allowance until I became 18 years old.
I first had to climb to the top of the apartment on the elevator, and then attach fliers
at every door while going down each level by stairs.
The fact that I could ride the elevator was really helpful.
I was just stupid to admit that the pay was enough to buy a lot of delicious
food that I was hoping to eat back then.
Now that I think of it, the pay wasn`t really good compared to other jobs.
But um,, I was actually happy whenever I went to the supermarket without
thinking that I [had to] save money. 시제 유의할것
Well, [the truth is] that I didn't always have enough money to do things I want[ed.]시제유의
I remember that I also worked at every apartment complex as a milkman early in the morning.
It was truly the toughest job because I sometimes felt an urge to run out of an apartment
in the middle of my work.
That`s not even the worst part, the worst part was that
I sometimes felt humiliated by people who passed by
me. I didn't want them to stare at me holding a bunch of milk boxes.
It just made me feel embarrassed.
I wish I could [have afforded] a car so I wouldn't have to carry them.
I remember the first time I got my paycheck. I couldn't wait to show it to my dad!
Well, my father actually said, "[W]hat were you thinking coming at an apartment with fliers?"
And I told him that I thought I`d surprise him with my own money haha.
I never wanted him to be burdened with the money though.
I thought he thought that he hadn`t always treated me well.
Those are my words that I wanna practice more.^^

Have you guys ever worked as a fliersman and handing out pamphlets or as a milkman?
or a department or somewhere else, so that there was nothing I can could do but to work in
a high-rise apartment to make an allowance until I became 18 years old.
while riding down going down each level by stairs.
But um,, I was actually happy whenever I went to the supermarket without thinking that I have had to save money.
Well, the reason I am telling you this is because my allowance always wansn`t always enough to do somethings that I wanted.
I sometimes got the feelling that people humiliated me like that in places whenever they were passing by
me because I didn`t want them to look at me when I carried a bunch of mlik boxes on the streets.
I wished I could have offer afforded to buy a car that can carry them instead.
Well, my father actualy said was, "what were you thinking coming at an apartment with fliers?"
And I told him that I thought I`d surprizse him with my own money haha.
Have you guys ever worked as a flier distributor or a milkman?
It was illegal for minors to work in places like restaurants,
, department stores, etc. So there were no other jobs except to work in

Nice job!
That will be really helpful for me~.^^
aquadee - Thanks for your comments^^ Yeah~ some students also have to make money regardless of their age because of financial problems in the world! huh?
I like your sentences very much which are more simpler then mine.^^
The pronunciations of the words you want to practice are great !
the sentence "i felt the urge to run out of an apartment in the middle of my work" was spoken a little too fast and came out a little slurred. But the rest flowed very nicely:)
i didn't know that words like " girl, Karl and toughest" were hard for Koreans!
