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 dad’s birthday
Tomorrow is my dad’s birthday. I will make a birthday card for him. First, I will cut the card into a rectangle and fold it in half. Second, I will draw a picture of my family on the card. Last, I’ll write “Happy Birthday, Daddy!” on the card. My mum wants to give him a present, so she will make a birthday cake and cook a lot of food for dad’s birthday party. “I’ll invite a lot of friends tomorrow,” Daddy said. My dad will be glad. I hope so.
Thank you! :)
