Note to recorder:
Hello!
This is an exercise on word stress for my pupils: they will hear the recording and sort the words.
Can you please read it emphasizing the stress on the correct syllable, please?
Thank you!

Hi! I've made a recording for you (American English). I changed some of the words to fit with American pronunciation — "reSEARcher" might be more British, I'm not sure. If your students have questions about the stress for "possibilities" or "California," it's probably the secondary stress ("pOssiBIlities" /ˌpäsəˈbilədēz/; "cAliFORnia" /kaləˈfôrnyə/) throwing them off.
Salut ! Je vous ai fait un enregistrement avec un accent américain. J'ai changé certains mots afin de conformer au accent américain — "reSEARcher" est peut-être la prononciation britannique, je n'en suis pas sûr. Si vos étudiants auront des confusions quant aux prononciations des mots "possibilities" ou "California," c'est probablement le stress secondaire (?) qui leur présente ces difficultés ("pOssiBIlities" /ˌpäsəˈbilədēz/; "cAliFORnia" /kaləˈfôrnyə/).
