I will use your recording to teach my fifth graders. So could you please read the vocabulary lesson clearly and slowly so that my students can easily repeat after you? Please pay special attention to final sounds. Thank you!
For example: festival (festivals): I like to play any big festivals.
Please read individual words twice, have short pauses (about three seconds) among them, and two times (slow then natural speed) for example sentences. I mean:
festival [short pause] festival [short pause] festivals [short pause] festivals [short pause]: I like to play any big festivals. [short pause] I like to play any big festivals. [short pause]
* In case the forms of past simple and past participle for regular verbs are the same, please repeat them twice. For instance, clap (claps, clapping, clapped, clapped). You just need to repeat the form “clapped” twice, not four.

Hi swansong,
It is really difficult to remember your instructions for repeating the words while reading them. But it is quite easy to just read what is written. For future recordings, could you write the text exactly as you would like it to be read?
