Hello Dear Minizoro

the last link works but it must be downloaded , using a downloader (such as Dap)



We might work on the given mp3 file later , but we first finish this speech

Here is the original script


Less than three months ago, at platform hearings in Salt lake city, I asked the Republican Party to lift the Shroud of silence, which has been draped over the issue of HIV and AIDS, I have come tonight to bring our silence to an end, I bear a message of challenge, not self-congratulation. I want your attentions, not your applause, I would never have asked to be HIV positive, but I believe that in all things, there is a purpose; and I stand before you and before the nation gladly, the reality of AIDS is brutally clear. two hundred thousand Americans are dead or dying, a Million more are infected, worldwide, forty million, sixty million, or one hundred million infections will be counted in the coming few years. but despite science and research, white house meetings and
Congressional hearings; despite good intentions and bold initiatives, campaign
Slogans and hopeful promises, it is- despite it all- the epidemic Which is winning tonight

Hey people
Such a nice idea this is;
So here is my first transcription in this topic and I took my chances to be the 1st one to put a transcription for this new part of speech.
So please don't laugh at me for my probable silly mistakes

In the context of an election year, I ask you here in this great hall or listening in the quite of your home to recognize that AIDS virus is not a political creature. It is not cared whether you are democrat or republican, it is not asked whether you are black or white, male or female, gay or straight, young or old.
Tonight I represent an AIDS community whose members have been reluctantly drafted from every segment of American society. Then(→though) I am white and a mother, I am one with a black infant struggling with tubes in a Philadelphia hospital. Then(→though) I am female en(→and)counteracted this disease in marriage and enjoy the warm support of my family. I am one with the lonely gay man sheltering a flickering candle from the cold wind of his family's rejection.

All the best
Dianella

Hi dear friend
and thanks for your compliment;

Actually it's OK and really cool to have this challenge.
I'd like to know my weak points in listening even more thorough so I'll be waiting for next parts.
I also have some British parts of speeches which are a little tricky. If everybody accepts I can put them here for the challenge after we went trough this a bit more.

Regards

As far as I could understand ...l

In the context of an election year, I ask you here in this great hall or listening in the quite (quiet) of your home to recognize that AIDS virus is not a political creature. It is not cared (does not care) whether you are democrat or republican, it is not asked (does not ask) whether you are black or white, male or female, gay or straight, young or old.

Tonight I represent an AIDS community whose members have been reluctantly drafted from every segment of American society. Then(→though) I am white and a mother, I am one with a black infant struggling with tubes in a Philadelphia hospital. Then(→though) I am female en(→and)counteracted (contracted) this disease in marriage and enjoy the warm support of my family. I am one with the lonely gay man sheltering a flickering candle from the cold wind of his family's rejection.

[mohammad.clergyman]

wow ! dear Amir how could you understand that she says

it doesn't ask and it doesn't care

it's totally difficult for me to distinguish between "doesn't" and" is not" even conciously

your listening is , truly, appreciable . so is your other English skills

what a good idea ,though I never have listened to british

maybe that's why it's needed for me to practice the british pronounciation as well

we'll sure practice it after we went enough through the current speech

Thanks Dear Dianella
