C. Read the following passages in phonetic transcription.

Both passages use a fairly

broad style of transcription, showing few allophones. The first represents a form of
British English of the kind I speak myself. The second represents an American
Pronunciation typical of a Midwestern speaker. By this time you should be able to read
transcriptions of different form of English, although you may have difficulty in
pronouncing each word exactly as it is represented. Nevertheless, read each passage
several times and try to pronounce it as indicated. Take care to put the stresses on the
correct syllables, and say the unstressed syllables with the vowels as shown. Note any
differences between each transcription and your own pronunciation of the
corresponding words.
