IPA reading practice: a 201-word story in broad British transcription, a good read after lesson 2. Read it in IPA first, then check yourself.

Transcriptions are broad British (RP), word by word, as each word is said on its own (its word page's transcription where it has one), with the everyday weak forms of a, an, the, to, of and and. Fast connected speech runs words together more than this. Each character has a voice of their own; the voices are synthetic (Piper, British English), not recordings of people.
Did you follow it?
Three questions on the story. The answers are in IPA too, so read them before you tap.
