Domestic news headlines-Oral Based Skill 2 (3th May, Week 8)

There are 6 front page stories on the radio - 2 stories from the New Zealand Herald, 2 stories from the Dominion Post, 1 story from the Press, 1 story from the Otago Daily Times. I choose “Climate Changes” from the NZ Herald as my BLOG assignment. The story tells about the new methods to stop global warming - using more nuclear power and modified biofuel products.

Three pronunciations from the story:-

1. weak form-schwa------------ to/∂ / fight
2. consonant to vowel linking---------- clash /∂ /over
3. sounds disappear------------ fight/g/ global
