さっそく聞こえない声に耳を傾けてくださる方が現れました。ありがとう！
わたしももう一度耳を傾け直しますが、まずはみなさん、以下を見ながら
もう一度Wilsonさんの話し方を聞いて、息継ぎ点を確認していただけますか？
そのあと、わたしの確認した結果を見てもらいます。
その際、息継ぎの bitesize と、意味の塊の bitesize を検討しましょう。
メールを引用します・・・
こんばんは。
PPP 深い息継ぎ
PP 浅い息継ぎ
P 息継ぎしてるかな？という感じでつけてみました（かなり曖昧ですが）。
一カ所ですが、( )はそう言っているのかな？という英語を入れました。ほぼ同じ文が二つありますが、なぜでしょうか？
それにしても、彼女の息継ぎ間隔が長いのか、単純にこちらが聞こえないのか、悩ましいです。
「同じ文が二つ」については一つを削除しました。

W: I think I would probably choose Hetty Feather PPP because it’s my favorite out of my books and I did quite lot of PP research because it’s about a victorian foundling PPP and so that would be the one I would really want to keep.
W: It’s Probably where you get your inspiration from PPP and I never quite know what to answer because PPP it’s like asking you girls where did you get your dreams from PP in that sometimes when you’ve had a dream P it’s because of something you’ve heard about or something you worried about, or something you remember, P another time dreams just come straight out of the blue PP and that’s you know how I get my ideas. I just…PP the only thing is you can’t force them. You just got to wait until something pops into your mind.
W: Well, I’m very glad I’m successful. I had many many years when nobody’d ever heard of me PP and if I went parties and you know you’re introduced and adults at Parties they always ask what do you do PP and I would mumble, ‘Oh, I write books for children PP and they’d always, they’d just been introduced to me and they’d say what name do you write under. PPP And I said, ‘My own name,’ and then people would sometimes be quite rude and say, ‘Well, I’ve never have heard of you’.
Or, or just sort of say, ‘Oh yes.’ But, but nowadays quite a lot of people have heard of me and that’s lovely. I mean that’s not why I write books at all. I write stories because I PP love to tell stories and ??? driven by the world of my imagination, but PPP it is wonderful after many years of…of not being known at all, that, you know, now if I go in to a book shop P there will be down among W-s quite a few of my books.
W: I like to write about PP the sort of people that I feel I really know well. And it’s quite difficult if you go to a different country PPP it takes a long time to understand exactly what people think and what they are really like in their private homes. PP But it’s a lovely idea.
W: I do like traveling overseas. PP Last year I went twice to America, PPP once for holiday once for work. I went Japan which was very exciting PP to something called International PEN Conference. PP I went to Dubai, which was wonderful, for literary festival PPP and I went Paris PP because my daughter teaches french and every year we always have a mom-and-daughter holiday in Paris which is lovely.
W: That’s what I try, and, Dulotty, I try and make them seem as real as I possibly can, PP but nearly always they are made up PP and they’re not based on me when I was a little girl PP because when you think of some of the aweful things that happen to the children in my books, I would have the worst childhood ever. P So nearly always I make things up but just occasionally P if I meet somebody and they’ve got PP some interesting item of clothing or they tell me a little funny story. I might just use a tiny bit P from somebody else P but I would never put a real person in my books, because PP it’s more fun to make it up and they might not like it the way I portray them.
W: Right well I decided when I was even younger than you that I wanted to be a writer, because I know I had had my tonsils out when I was six. PP When I went to the hospital, the doctor there when they talked to you before they give you an operation they try and put you at your ease P and he asked me what that I wanted to do when I grew up and I apparently my Mom says I said I wanted to be a writer. PPP Whether my stories were any good or not I don’t think they were particulary PP but I’ve kept some of them PP and I do I can see similarities in that I always like to write about children with problems PP and I always try to put some funny bits in as well as sad bits, but erm PP I think I would blush if I ever had to read them aloud.
W: Which one was the most difficult… PP I think a book called Lola Rose which is PP a book for slightly older girls I think, and it deals with really quite worrying things like a pretty violent Dad and also a Mom who gets really ill PP and I wanted to write about thing truthfully PP but I didn’t want to worry children particularly if their own Moms were ill, PP so I did think long and hard about how I was going to do that PP but in Lola Rose my favorite adult character appears Auntie Barbara PP who comes along and looks after these two main children and P makes them feel that everything is going to be alright and P I feel we all need an Auntie Barbara in our lives to come along and sort thing out for us.
W: Well that’s an interesting question PP erm well I suppose it was when I first started to get fan letters PP and my books didn’t used be tremendously popular PP but they were always about girls who were odd ones out PP and so I started to get letters from girls who felt that nobody else understood what it was like PP not to fit in with absolutely everybody else in the class PPP and those early letters meant a whole world to me because I thought I am reaching exactly the people that I want to reach.
W: I jot down just a few sentences when I get an idea PPP but then I know this possibly irritate some school teachers where PP they try and get people to make plans and write it all out carefully beforehand before we get started on the story. PPP Actually I find that a bit boring. I like to have some vague idea what I was going to write about PP and then just sit down I still write an old-fashioned pen and a notebook and just start writing and it’s almost as if my pen gets carried away and sometimes you can rumble a bit P but I often I find it more interesting just to do it that way around.
W: I do sometimes when I do feel I put them through a hard time certainly PPP erm twice I got really upset P as I was actually writing. Mostly I’m kind of completely cool and knowing what I’m doing. PP One time in a teenage book of mine called Kiss I got upset writing a scene there and actually had real tears. PPP The only other one, was a book of My Sister Jody P which has it’s the only one of my books that really has a sad ending and I didn’t mean it to have a sad ending. But I was writing it P and it was just as if I couldn’t help it. I just thought I know what’s gonna happen no no I don’t want it to happen but but no no PP it just carried on it was almost as if I was taken over and I’d get very upset in that last chapter but I did worry about upsetting lots of my readers PP and most people who’ve read My Sister Jody said it made of cry P they said they didn’t mind they quite right having a weep.
W: That’s an interesting one. Err well I think probably it would be Hetty Feather PP and who’s quite dear to my heart and if she could tell me because she is Victorian PP she could tell me all the things you can’t find out about in victorian social history books PP so she would be a lovely character PPP and then although mostly I invent girls I do occasionally write about boys PP and I (write a British) boy called Biscuit who appears in three of my books PP and I think he’s a sweetheart because he is very kind he is very funny, excellent at making cakes. P I’d like Biscuit to come and live with me. I think he would be a good companion.
Well done Lidia. I truly have never had such interesting questions. It’s been treat answering all of them
