Exercise 1:

Transcribe the text:

 Saturday morning was come and all the summer world was bright and fresh and brimming with life.

There was a song in every heart; and if the heart was young the music issued at the lips.

There was cheer in every face, and a spring in every step.

The locust trees were in bloom and the fragrance of the blossoms filled the air.

Cardiff Hill , beyond the village and above it, was green with vegetation, and it lay just far enough away to seem a Delectable land, dreamy, reposeful and inviting.

(The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Penguin Popular Classics. Chapter 1. Page 14.)

 

Exercise 2:

Transcribe the song:

Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it 
I tried to be chill but your so hot that i melted 
I fell right through the cracks, and i'm tryin to get back 
before the cool done run out i'll be givin it my best test 
and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention 
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some 

I won't hesitate no more, 
no more, it cannot wait i'm yours 

Well open up your mind and see like me 
open up your plans and damn you're free 
look into your heart and you'll find love love love 
listen to the music at the moment people dance and sing 
We are just a big family
It's your god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved Loved 

So, i won't hesitate no more, 
no more, it cannot wait i'm sure 
there's no need to complicate our time is short 
this is our fate, i'm yours (..)

(I’m Your’s by Jason Myraz)
