Hello,
I teach English at university to third year students who are going to work as school teachers after they graduate. Now there's a little problem. We have a textbook with phonetic exercises which the students need to read properly. I read the exercises to them as an example, but I feel it would be much better if we had this exercise read by a native speaker. If someone could help us - record the exercises for me and my students, we would be very grateful to you.
We've already had these exercises recorded by an American, but the problem is that he was really trying hard to do his best and read it as A PHONETIC EXERCISE, putting stress on words at random:
Upload Audio | Listen to Audio | Kiseleva, exercise 22, p. 28 | YourListen
while we need it read NATURALLY, just in a way people usually talk, with the most common intonation for these sentences, with the right words stressed (if you know what I mean).
I am aware of the fact that my request may be difficult to fulfill, but I hope someone will help. (You can download the file you created on http://yourlisten.com )
If not, it's OK (I had hesitated a lot before I started this thread).
Here's the first exercise we need the recording of (it should be read with the most common / typical / neutral intonation for such type of sentences):
1. Meet Bess. Send Eve. Spell "be". Help Ted.
2. Ben sees Nell. Pete needs help. Eve helps Emm. Steve meets Bess. Let's meet Ed. Let's spell "ten". Let's send Ben. Let's help Eve.
3. Pete sees Steve's pen. Ben needs Ed's tests. Let Ted meet Eve. Let Ben send Pete. Let Bess spell "test". Let Ben help Nell.
4. He sees ten pens. He needs ten cents. He needs Steve's help.
5. Lend me Pete's pen. Send me Ben's test. Let me see Bess. Let me help Ed.
6. Ben, spell "test". Nell, help Eve. Pete, meet Bess. Ted, send Emm.
I would appreciate it if you will help us. Thanks in advance.
