apologies
I don't know what you are doing, but it sounded as though you were rehearsing a flight. Maybe it's the practical RT exam?
It's difficult to give advice when you don't have the full picture, but what I said in the first post applies to all scenarios - except - if it's for the RT exam you do need to ignore what us old crusties do, as we live in the real world; something that is not quite the same as the world you inhabit whilst undergoing training! Learning RT from us lot is akin to spending the morning before your driving test in the company of a white van man. I'm sincere in offering my apologies for the second post, but please be aware that we are not all as good at guessing your intentions as some.
P.S. if it is your RT exam, the one thing that sounds really professional in reply to your clearance to land is to reply (in a Texan drawl) "got the Dunlops danglin' ".

i spent years trying to sound professional and getting all the words and order correct .....now a bit wiser i realise that the most important thing is TO talk and not sit there going thru it in your mind as you get closer and closer to their ATZ !! Open up a dialogue early and in plain english say who , where and what you are and what you want .....it is as simple as that so no need to get tongue twisted any more 
( dont try this going into heathrow tho, !!) The controllers can tell how experienced you are from your talk and may nanny you a bit more if the think you are low time ....or they may just keep you out of the way ...
