All right guys, that’s all for today’s pronunciation challenge. I have to admit that becoming a millionaire has been my new year’s revolution for the past few years, but I know a lot of money wouldn’t make me happier, cuz there will be more things for me to worried about when I become wealthy, such as being kidnapped(v.綁架) {by} someone, or something like that. Anyways, what do you guys think about winning the lottery? Would it really make you happier?
