What a strange assignment! Sorry, I can't help as I have absolutely no idea about phonetics. You should make an attempt at it yourself - you can't just ask people on here to do your assignments for you!

Note spelling of PHONETICS and PHONETICALLY

I am not good at phonetics, but I have broken it up into words as far as I can. I don't understand the parts highlighted in red. Perhaps someone else can help you more.

Can I ask why you have been given an assignment based solely on phonetics, when it appears that you are not studying/have not studied phonetics?!

... It doesn't use any click sounds which are heard ...
It's a strange transcription. It's not typical AusE. For example, we say
/dʌzǝnt/ for ‘doesn’t, not /dɒzǝnt/
And the correct transcription of 'any' is / [FONT=&quot]æni/ not /eni/[/FONT].
There are other apparent errors in it.
