Hello there. The text is from an ESL textbook, as part of the UK English Programme series, which was not written by English-speaking writers, so I think there remain several phrases which sound not natural to you. If so, please feel free to change them.
My students are in their 4th grade. Could you help me make two separate recordings for the text – one at your normal/natural speed, and the other at your slow speed?
I think the recording with your normal speed will be useful to their listening practice since it will be challenging enough, and hopefully they will not be bored! Meanwhile, the recording with your slow one will help them differentiate different sounds, and thereby enable them to copy your pronunciation easily.
Thank you in advance!
My Family’s Weekend
I like weekend because I have a lot of free time with my mom and dad. My mom often cooks a lot of delicious food for us. She can make cakes, pizzas and potato chips. My dad likes reading stories to me and I like it, too. We often watch films at home. But sometimes we go to the cinema when we have more time. I like my weekends so much. I love my mom and dad best.
