    The Rainbow
    When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act like a prism and form a rainbow.  A rainbow is the division of white light into many beautiful colors.  These take the shape of a large, round arch, with its path high above and its two ends apparently beyond the horizon. There is, according to legend, a boiling pot of gold at one end.  People look but no one ever finds it.  When a man looks for something beyond his reach, his friends say he is looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

    Part Four:  Spontaneous Speech

    For this recording, please speak for 2 - 3 minutes about a topic familiar to you.  You can talk about your goals for accent training, describe your current job, talk about a family tradition or describe a favorite hobby or activity.  Send your recording to ChristineDunbarSLP@gmail.com.
