English Audio Request

Note to recorder:

Hi 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!

Hi, I am Bob. This is my favourite room. In this room, I can read books and play toys when I have free time. There is a desk at the corner where I often do homework after dinner. This is my bed where I can sometimes take a nap at noon and sleep at night. There is not a TV in my bedroom because I have to watch TV with my parents in the living room. My parents say that our family should watch TV together in the living room before going to bed so that every day we have a little time together after a busy day.
