ˎHarpole| ˈ7ˈ4ˈ5ˏ3.|| Heˎllo, ˏCharles.|| ˈThis is ˎBob.|| You were ˈquite ˎright in your ˏletter;| ˈvery ˈfew ˎpeople| have ˈany iˎdea| where ˈHarpole ˎis.|| I’ve →asked| half a ˎdozen ˌpeople| ˈso ͵far| wˈithout suˎccess.|| I ˎguessed you’d have ˏdifficulty.|| ˈWhere are you ˎnow?|| I’mˈ in a ˎtelephone ˏbox,| ˈoutˈside a ˎpost-ˏoffice,| at a ˎcrossˏroads| about a ˎmile| from the ˈend of the ˎmotorway.|| ˈO.ˎK.|| ˈListen ˎcarefully ˌthen.|| ˈCarry ˈon aˈlong the ˈroad toˈwards ˎPortsmouth| unˈtil you go ˈdown a ˈsteep ˎhill.|| ˈTake the ˈturning to the ˎleft| at the ˎbottom of the ˎhill| – there’s a ˈpub ˈcalled “The ↑Green ˎMan”| on the ˎright,| ˈjust beˈfore the ˎturning.|| ̅I’ve ˎgot ˏthat.|| ˎGo ˏon.|| The road winds through a small village, over a bridge across a river and then under a railway. Just after the railway bridge the road forks; take the left hand fork… ˈSlow ˎdown a ˏbit.|| I’m ↗trying to ↗write ↗this ˋdown.|| I’ll ↷never re↷member ↷all ˎthat.|| I’ve nearly finished. After about a mile you’ll drive through a wood and, as you come out of the wood, turn right and go up the hill to Harpole. Manor Road is the second turning on the left, and our house is at the end on the right. You’ll see my car, the dark blue Rover, parked outside. I suppose I’ll find it, but if I’m not there by midnight send out a search party!

4. Listen to the report about travelling. What phonostyle is it in? Name phonostylistic peculiarities of this text (tempo, scales, etc.). Lay stress-tone marks and learn it by heart.
(p.27)
Travelling
Those who wish to travel either for pleasure or on business, have at their disposal various means of transport. There is, for instance, the humble inexpensive bicycle. Then there’s the motor-cycle with which you can travel quickly and cheaply, but for long journeys it’s rather tiring. With a motor-car one can travel comfortably for long distances without getting too tired.
Luxurious ships cross seas and oceans from one continent to another. Aero planes carry passengers to various parts of the world in almost as many hours as it takes days to do the journey by other means.
But most of us still have to use trains. Look at this picture of a busy railway-station. A train is standing at one of the platforms ready to leave. Some of the passengers are looking out of the window watching the late-comers who are hurrying along looking for empty seats.
The engine is ready to draw the train out of the station. On another platform a train has just come in; some passengers are getting out, others are getting in.
Those who’ve not taken the precaution of getting their tickets beforehand are waiting in the queues at the booking-office.
5. Listen to the news presented in the informational style. Lay stress-tone marks and learn it by heart.
