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 /we
ɪ/; 'why' is /waɪ/. You've made this mistake a few times.

Because you've asked a difficult linguistic question; you seem to be transcribing a weird dialect; and you didn't wait long enough.
Oh, and it looks like homework.

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.

6-ɡəʊr (go to), bər haʊ, (but how), bər æ nəʊ (but I know), əˈbaʊr ɪd ( about it), bændər ræʃ aɪ biːtʃ ɔː (Banda Aceh beach), aɪ nəʊr ðaɪ (I know that I ), ðər aɪ ( that) addition.
You have the intrusive R in Banda Aceh, which I believe must be addition. But why do you call addition the flapping in "but I"?
