Delivering a lecture Sample a s f s
The 'first problem | I want to discuss with you | is the question of | defining | 'what is
s s
Re'ceived Pro'nunciation, | because Re'ceived Pro'nunciation has had a ''rather bad
s
'press | as we say in Britain recently,| that is to say there’s a sub'stantial body of
s
opinion that says | Re'ceived Pro'nunciation is something | out of date, | fuddy-
s s
duddy, | socially divicive | and something that we
s s
'need to get rid of as quickly as we can. The problem then, of course, | facing
f s
anybody who takes that point of view is to say what should we replace it 'with.
Sample b s
There are several areas of difficulty, | which present themselves in English pronunciation.
s
For example segments. 'That’s indi'vidual sounds. Syllables. 'What you have in a 'syllable in your language | and 'what is possible at the beginning or the 'end of a syllable might be very different from what’s possible in English. 'I’ve been 'working for 'six years in ˙Hong Kong for example | and 'what’s per'missible in a syllable in Cantonese | is 'very ˙very different to 'what is per'missible in a ˙syllable in English. So his kind of thing is 'likely to ˙cause problems.
Making a Political Speech Sample a
s s
'National security re'mains of the 'highest importance to my 'Government. They
s
Will con'tinue to support | the 'North At'lantic Treaty Organization | and to pro'mote
s s
Britain’s wider security interests | by con'tributing to the maintenance of ↑
s
inter'national peace and sta'bility. The U'nited ˙Kingdom’s 'minimum nuclear
s
deterrent | will be 'maintained.
Sample b
My 'right honorable friend | 'won arguments for this country | and 'won them
s s
well. He 'has | in this House | a par'ticular 'reputation. He 'has | in 'all the years that
f f
I’ve known him and that certainly goes back too long before I came into this House.
s s
My 'right honorable friend | has always been | ''valiant for 'moderation. 'Not for him |
s s
the 'cheap and 'silly sound | 'bite to ˙sally his opponents. My 'right honorable friend |
is ''rightly contemptuous of that | because 'his ˙politics have been constructed on
↑rational argument | and I believe the country and the House | will be poorer |when he
leaves it.
