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./
