Hi there. The following text is from an ESL textbook, which was not written by native speakers of English, so I think there remain several phrases which sound not natural to you. If so, please feel free to alter them.
My students are in their 4th grade, so please 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 because 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.
Thank you in advance!
My name’s Bob, and my friend’s name is Pat. Today, we wanted to go to the library, but we didn’t know how to get there. Pat asked me, “Bob, where is the library?” “I don’t know,” I answered. However, we found it on the school map. We walked along Red Street, then turned left onto Blue Street. It’s next to the sports centre. We went into the library and looked at all the books in the bookcases. There are many kinds of books here. Pat took two comic books and sat on the chair. He read those books for two hours. He felt tired and hungry. So, we took a bus and then came back home.
I understood what you meant. Thanks a lot for your help! I hope you're having a nice day.
