1- weləwɑɪk (well I wake) wake is weɪk, I is /ɑɪ/
2- wɑɪkp (wake up) No. /weɪk ʌp/
3- kɑːm bɪˈliːv (can believe) possibly
4- har'əf (horror of ) No/harərəv/in AmE, or /hɒrərəv/
5- fʌkɪn(2) (fucking), mɪksɪn (mixing), ɡəʊɪn(going), sʌmθɪn (something)(2), restɪn (resting), lʌvɪn (loving) Not everyone drops their g's
6-ɡəʊr (go to), bər haʊ, (but how), bər æ nəʊ (but I know), əˈbaʊr ɪd ( about it), If you replaced /r/ with the flap /ɾ/ you might be right for some American accents. In most accents, 'go to' is /'ɡəʊtə/, etc. No one is going to understand you if you say any of those words.
bændər ræʃ aɪ biːtʃ ɔː (Banda Aceh beach), /'bændə,ræʃeɪ biːtʃ/
aɪ nəʊr ðaɪ (I know that I ), ðər aɪ ( that) ?

I'm going to stop here. I don't know the dialect you're trying to transcribe.
7- ðəmiː (2) (than me), kəm bi (can be) assimilation.
8- ən aɪ ( and I ) ............
9- iːθɪˈəʊpəʊr (Ethiope or) linking
10-ɒfən (off and) ..................
11- bə ðə (but the) ...................
12- ðə maɪ (that my)........................
13- əɜːr ( at her year) ........................
14- wɔːndz waɪf (Warne's wife) .................
15- bə baɪ (but by

A few points.
You've used /r/ for the English 'r'. IPA uses /r/ for the trilled 'r' of Italian etc. An English 'r' strictly is /ɹ/, however for phonemic purposes, and if it's understood that your transcribing English, /r/ is accepted.
You will be much better understood if you use /t/ for 't'. There's no need to transcribe generic English with flaps, taps, glottal stops etc. If you're doing a phonetic transcription of a specific accent or person, they would be appropriate.
'way' is /weɪ/; 'why' is /waɪ/. You've made this mistake a few times.

Oh, and it looks like homework.

Re: connected speech features (problem)
I am transcribing an Australian accent . He is a singer singning very fast. I am trying to detect some connected speech aspects such as assimilation, linking, deletion etc.

Ah, then you are transcibing a specific voice phonetically. In that case it's quite right to write exactly what you hear.

Re: connected speech features (problem)
Thank you. But I wonder whether my detected connected speech aspects are correct or not.

Is it possible to listen to that person?
