The students tended to replace the sound [æ] with [ʌ], and [e] as well as sounds [əʊ] and [eə] that replaced with sounds [ʌ], and [ɜː]. While, the consonant sounds which negatively affected by L1 were [θ], [ð], [ʧ]. The students tended to replace the sound with [c], [d], [t], or [s].

Some conversations indicate the image acts and the gazes of them are ‘offer’, they could be explained that the images address us indirectly, the viewer is not the object, but the subject looked. The represented participants are the object of the viewer’s dispassionate scrutiny, no contact between the viewer and the represented participants. The image acts and the gazes happen between represented participants and represented participants. The eye contacts prove the verbal text produced by the represented participants. Verbally, the statement and question relate through intersemiotics reinforcement of address. The activities between represented participant and represented participant happen verbally in which the viewer do not joint in the conversation.
