Read the text aloud.
Kindermann says he thinks the compound could be a win-win for the planet—and the animals. "You know the methane is kind of a waste product. And this energy, instead of losing it for the animal, it can be reused for the animal in terms of performance, and at the same time we are doing something for greenhouse gas emission and climate change." The products not on the market yet - toxicology tests are ongoing.

How to read it

Words to stress correctly
| toxicology | tox·i·COL·o·gy | /tɑksɪˈkɑlədʒi/ |
| performance | per·FOR·mance | /pɚˈfɔrməns/ |
| emission | e·MIS·sion | /ɪˈmɪʃən/ |
| win-win | win-·WIN | /wɪnˈwɪn/ |
| animals | AN·i·mals | /ˈænəməlz/ |
| instead | in·STEAD | /ɪnˈstɛd/ |
74 words, aim for 28–34 seconds. No numbers. Breathe after animals, product, performance and change; short pauses at the commas and after the dash before toxicology.
Where marks are usually lost
Stress: win-·WIN, AN·i·mals, in·STEAD, per·FOR·mance, e·MIS·sion, tox·i·COL·o·gy. Don't stop dead at the dash before toxicology. Keep -s on says, thinks, animals, terms, product's, tests; -ed on reused.
General tip: the quote is spoken-style and a bit messy — read it smoothly anyway; don't copy its hesitations at And this energy, instead of losing it.
What it means: 中文 · हिन्दी · नेपाली · Tiếng Việt
中文: 金德曼说，他认为这种化合物对地球和动物来说可能是双赢的。"要知道，甲烷算是一种废弃产物。这部分能量，与其让动物白白损失掉，不如在生产性能方面重新为动物所用，同时我们也在为温室气体排放和气候变化做点事。"该产品尚未上市——毒理学测试仍在进行中。
हिन्दी: किंडरमैन कहते हैं कि उन्हें लगता है यह यौगिक धरती — और जानवरों — दोनों के लिए फ़ायदेमंद हो सकता है। "आप जानते हैं, मीथेन एक तरह का अपशिष्ट उत्पाद है। और यह ऊर्जा, जानवर के लिए बर्बाद होने के बजाय, उत्पादकता के रूप में जानवर के लिए दोबारा इस्तेमाल हो सकती है, और साथ ही हम ग्रीनहाउस गैस उत्सर्जन और जलवायु परिवर्तन के लिए भी कुछ कर रहे हैं।" यह उत्पाद अभी बाज़ार में नहीं है — विष-विज्ञान परीक्षण जारी हैं।
नेपाली: किन्डरम्यान भन्छन् उनलाई लाग्छ यो यौगिक पृथ्वी — र जनावर — दुवैका लागि फाइदाजनक हुन सक्छ। "तपाईंलाई थाहा छ, मिथेन एक प्रकारको फोहोर उत्पादन हो। र यो ऊर्जा, जनावरका लागि खेर जानुको सट्टा, उत्पादकताका रूपमा जनावरकै लागि पुनः प्रयोग गर्न सकिन्छ, र सँगसँगै हामी हरितगृह ग्यास उत्सर्जन र जलवायु परिवर्तनका लागि पनि केही गरिरहेका छौं।" यो उत्पादन अझै बजारमा आएको छैन — विष-विज्ञान परीक्षणहरू जारी छन्।
Tiếng Việt: Kindermann nói ông cho rằng hợp chất này có thể là giải pháp đôi bên cùng có lợi cho hành tinh — và cho các loài vật. "Bạn biết đấy, khí mê-tan về cơ bản là một sản phẩm thải. Và năng lượng này, thay vì để con vật mất đi, có thể được tái sử dụng cho con vật dưới dạng năng suất, đồng thời chúng ta cũng đang làm điều gì đó cho khí thải nhà kính và biến đổi khí hậu." Sản phẩm chưa có mặt trên thị trường — các thử nghiệm độc chất học vẫn đang tiếp diễn.
