Week Eight Oral Skills Blog Entry Five --- Domestic News Headlines

I heard this story on the morning report on the Press on Monday 30th of April

"The main story in the Press is that the government is looking at ways to tackle truancy numbers. The story says that last year an average of 30,000 children a day skipped classes."

Here are three pronunciation features which I noticed.

Extra linking sounds --"at ways"
Weak form --"at ways", "to classes"
Consonant to vowel linking --"main","average of"
