I have just finished O level in Singapore and haven decide on which course to take. I have an interest in helping couple to take wedding photograph and edit their video for their big day so I might want to go into Film, sound and Media course in Ngee Ann poly. But I doubt that there is prospect for this kinda job. I am a only child in the family so I need to have an profession in some area to be able to support family. I have also consider Civil and Structrual Engineering course in Singapore Poly.. any comment on these two course will be appreciated. Serious answer please, Thank You.

English is my second language,

according to some dictionaries like the Cambridge and the Collins,
i have learnt that the r sound is pronounced only before a vowel.
here i have an example but i do not know whether it is pronounced, please help by answering how the letter "R"s being quoted is pronounced in British and American English respectively.

1.A. The bus station is five hundred met"r"es away.
B. The bus station is only one met"r"e away.

also, i am confused on how to pronounce the letter "s" in English.
In what case is it pronounced as "z" and when is it pronounced as "s" respectively in British and American English?

as a non- native speaker, i cannot distinguish the difference between the voice between the "th" in the word thirsty and the word "f" in the word five and between the "th" in the word "the" and "d" in the word dog. (except i know the positions of the tongue are varied)
as native speakers, are you always able to feel the difference just by hearing?

how to pronounce the word "tests"?

my problem is how to deal with the consonants "s", "t", "s" at the end.

would the answer be s, and then t, and then s separately,
s, short stop, and then s, but without the t pronounced,
or is it s, and then have the t and s joined together into one ?
