This comes from a standardized national exam students in Poland take at the end of primary school.
I would like to ask for your opinion on the male actor's English in this recording for the listening section of the exam. To me, he has a very noticeable and distinct Polish accent, or at the very least he doesn't sound like a native speaker. The way he reads his lines sounds poorly rehearsed, or perhaps he's just a poor voice actor altogether. I don't think he should've been hired for this job.
But maybe I'm wrong. I tend to act like a constant downer when it comes to how the education system in Poland deals with teaching and testing English as a school subject.
What do you think?
