i. transcribe the following passage phonetically and mark the words which are stressed:
i have needed some new bookshelves for a long time. so during my holiday i decided to tackle the job myself. not that i am very clever with my hands but it did not seem too difficult and as i had already said that we could not afford to go away i thought it would be prudent not to spend money having it done professionally. i bought the wood at the local handicraft shop and i had plenty of screws, but i found that my old saw, which had been left behind by the previous owner of the house, was not good enough and i decided to buy a new one. that was my first mistake, my second was to go to the biggest ironmonger in london and ask for a saw. you would think it was simple, wouldn’t you, to buy a saw. but it is not. i said to the man behind the counter, “i want a saw.” he was a nice man and did his best for me. “yes, sir, what kind of saw? ” “oh, a saw for cutting wood.” “yes, sir, but we have fifteen different kinds for different jobs. what did you want it for? ” i explained about my bookshelves and felt like an ignorant fool in a world of experts, which was true. he saw that i was a novice and was very kind. he told me what i should need and advised me to have a ladies’ size. “easier to manage for the beginner, sir.” he was not being nasty just helpful and i was grateful to him. he also sold me a book on woodwork for schoolboys and i've been reading it with great interest. the next time i am on holiday i shall start on the shelves.

Located in Moscow, a white pillar crowned with a golden helmet unites the entire architectural ensemble of Cathedral Square. Unusual hugeness and lightness are achieved by reducing the size of the tiers cut by high windows. Thanks to the skill of the architect, the bell tower withstood the explosion by the French invaders. In the lower tier there is a museum of the history of the architectural ensemble of the Moscow Kremlin. Visitors see fragments of the white-stone Kremlin of Dmitry Donskoy. The bypass gallery offers a beautiful view of Cathedral Square, where you can have a very interesting time. Other attractions of the city of Moscow are nearby.
