Hi there. Please help me edit the text in case you find something strange, or not natural enough, and then make separate recordings for the text – one at your normal/natural speed, and the other at your slow speed.
My students are in grade 4, so I think the recording with your normal speed will be extremely beneficial to their listening experience as the speed will be challenging enough, and they will have to pay attention to what you’re saying!
On the other hand, the recording with your slow one will help them easily identify different sounds, and hopefully make it easier for them to imitate your pronunciation.
If you want to change questions, or add more questions and answers, please don't hesitate to do so. I will be glad to receive such inputs from you, and I think, this will be a good thing for my students.
The reading text is exact the same in our pupil's book.However, I think "He eats very quickly." should be "He's eating very quickly." because it is happening when Lumpy is hungry at that time. If this is the case, my question for Number 2 might be changed into "How is he eating? ~ He is eating very quickly. / He's eating very quickly." I would like to know your comments.
Thank you!
Pat, look at Lumpy. He’s hungry. He’s eating meat. He eats very quickly.
1) What is Lumpy doing? / What’s Lumpy doing?
→ He is eating meat. / He’s eating meat.
2) How does he eat?
→ He eats very quickly.
Thank you so much!
