Oral Skill 2(week 8)

Listening to the “Monday National Radio’s News Headlines” Six stories mentioned from National Radio’s News Headlines. I am interested in the first story, and its transcription is “The new drug trail offering hope to women with the history of miscarriages”. I identified pronunciation features in bold as follow:


Consonant to vowel linking: with the(/∂/)

Extra linking sounds /r/: the history(/ri/) o(/∂/)f miscarriages

Weak forms of prepositions, articles, modal verbs, auxiliary verbs:

The(/∂/) new drug trail offering hope to(/∂/) women with the(/∂/) history o(/∂/)f

miscarriages.
