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!
On my sixth birthday, my grandma gave me a little pet. She was a white kitten. Her name was Kitty. She had four short legs and a long tail. I loved her so much. I often played with her after school. The mice in my house hated her a lot because she often chased them. After some months, there weren’t any more mice in my house. I don’t have Kitty anymore. I often look at her pictures when I miss her. I think I will find another cute kitten soon.
Thank you so much!
