Illusions of Pastoral peace

/ɪˈluːʒənz/ /ɒv/ /ˈpɑːstərəl/ /piːs/

My friend fails to mention the long and friendless winter

/maɪ/ /frɛnd/ /feɪlz/ /tuː/ /ˈmɛnʃən/ /ðə/ /lɒŋ/ /ænd/ /ˈfrɛndlɪs/ /ˈwɪntə/

evenings in front of the TV -- virtually the only form of

/ˈiːvnɪŋz/ /ɪn/ /frʌnt/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /ˌtiːˈviː/ /--/ /ˈvɜːtjʊəli/ /ði/ /ˈəʊnli/ /fɔːm/ /ɒv/

entertainment. He says nothing about the poor selection of

/ˌɛntəˈteɪnmənt./ /hiː/ /sɛz/ /ˈnʌθɪŋ/ /əˈbaʊt/ /ðə/ /pʊə/ /sɪˈlɛkʃən/ /ɒv/

goods in the shops, or about those unfortunate people who

/gʊdz/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /ʃɒps,/ /ɔːr/ /əˈbaʊt/ /ðəʊz/ /ʌnˈfɔːʧnɪt/ /ˈpiːpl/ /huː/

have to travel from the country to the city every day to get to

/hæv/ /tuː/ /ˈtrævl/ /frɒm/ /ðə/ /ˈkʌntri/ /tuː/ /ðə/ /ˈsɪti/ /ˈɛvri/ /deɪ/ /tuː/ /gɛt/ /tuː/

work. Why people are prepared to tolerate a four- hour

/wɜːk./ /waɪ/ /ˈpiːpl/ /ɑː/ /prɪˈpeəd/ /tuː/ /ˈtɒləreɪt/ /ə/ /fɔː-/ /ˈaʊə/

journey each day for the dubious privilege of living in the

/ˈʤɜːni/ /iːʧ/ /deɪ/ /fɔː/ /ðə/ /ˈdjuːbiəs/ /ˈprɪvɪlɪʤ/ /ɒv/ /ˈlɪvɪŋ/ /ɪn/ /ðiː/

country is beyond me. They could be saved so much misery

/ˈkʌntri/ /ɪz/ /bɪˈjɒnd/ /miː./ /ðeɪ/ /kʊd/ /biː/ /seɪvd/ /səʊ/ /mʌʧ/ /ˈmɪzəri/

and expense if they chose to live in the city where they

/ænd/ /ɪksˈpɛns/ /ɪf/ /ðeɪ/ /ʧəʊz/ /tuː/ /lɪv/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /ˈsɪti/ /weə/ /ðeɪ/

rightly belong.

/ˈraɪtli/ /bɪˈlɒŋ./

If you can do without the few pastoral pleasures of the

/ɪf/ /juː/ /kæn/ /duː/ /wɪˈðaʊt/ /ðə/ /fjuː/ /ˈpɑːstərəl/ /ˈplɛʒəz/ /ɒv/ /ðiː/

country, you will find the city can provide you with the best

/ˈkʌntri,/ /juː/ /wɪl/ /faɪnd/ /ðə/ /ˈsɪti/ /kæn/ /prəˈvaɪd/ /juː/ /wɪð/ /ðə/ /bɛst/

that life can offer. You never have to travel miles to see your

/ðæt/ /laɪf/ /kæn/ /ˈɒfə./ /juː/ /ˈnɛvə/ /hæv/ /tuː/ /ˈtrævl/ /maɪlz/ /tuː/ /siː/ /jɔː/

friends. They invariably live nearby and are always available

/frɛndz./ /ðeɪ/ /ɪnˈveərɪəbli/ /lɪv/ /ˈnɪəbaɪ/ /ænd/ /ɑːr/ /ˈɔːlweɪz/ /əˈveɪləbl/

for an informal chat or an evening's entertainment. Some of

/fɔːr/ /ən/ /ɪnˈfɔːml/ /ʧæt/ /ɔːr/ /ən/ /ˈiːvnɪŋz/ /ˌɛntəˈteɪnmənt./ /sʌm/ /ɒv/

my acquaintances in the country come up to town once or

/maɪ/ /əˈkweɪntənsɪz/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /ˈkʌntri/ /kʌm/ /ʌp/ /tuː/ /taʊn/ /wʌns/ /ɔː/

twice a year to visit the theatre as a special treat.

/twaɪs/ /ə/ /jɪə/ /tuː/ /ˈvɪzɪt/ /ðə/ /ˈθɪətər/ /æz/ /ə/ /ˈspɛʃəl/ /triːt./
