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.
