What follows are 8 slides with questions. Answer as many or as few as you like by leaving a comment with your voice, or simply type it out as I've done here.Pausing or Speeding Up the Slides/Comments You can pause and move between slides more rapidly than the set 15 seconds by clicking the pause/play button or the arrows below each slide. You can also hold the dot on the timing slider at the bottom to pause to read a long text, like this one.
