Question about English (UK)
Harriet Tubman was born a slave. In the 18005, slaves were African-American people who were forced to work.
They were "owned" by their masters and had no rights. They could be bought and sold, and ripped away from
their families forever. Harriet Tubman wanted a better life. She ran away from her "owners" on what came to
be known as the Underground Railroad. The Underground Railroad was not really underground and it was not
really a railroad. It was a series of long paths through the woods that lead to freedom for slaves in the
Northern United States. It was very dangerous, and very long, but Harriet Tubman made it to freedom!
After Harriet became free, she helped her family members and other slaves to freedom along the Underground
Railroad. Southern slave owners were very angry with Harriet, and offered large rewards for anyone who could
capture her. Does this sound natural?

Unnatural
Enunciate those consonants! Especially the "t's." You also sound a bit rushed, so slow down and sound out each word.
