Read the text aloud.
Perhaps the most measurable benefit of the program has been the opportunity to me in small groups, something that is difficult to arrange such a desperate organization. Many officers would have to work together for thirty years but would not know other's strengths and weaknesses.

Words to stress correctly
| organization | or·gan·i·ZA·tion | /ɔrɡənəˈzeɪʃən/ |
| opportunity | op·por·TU·ni·ty | /ɑpɚˈtunəti/ |
| measurable | MEAS·ur·a·ble | /ˈmɛʒɚəbəl/ |
| together | to·GETH·er | /təˈɡɛðɚ/ |
| weaknesses | WEAK·ness·es | /ˈwiknəsəz/ |
| difficult | DIF·fi·cult | /ˈdɪfəkəlt/ |
46 words in 18–21 seconds. No digits; the only number is written as thirty. Breathe after groups and organization; short pauses after program, arrange and years.
Where marks are usually lost
Wrong stress on MEAS·ur·a·ble, op·por·TU·ni·ty or or·gan·i·ZA·tion. Hesitating before disparate. Dropping the -s in officers, years, strengths, weaknesses.
General tip: say THIR-ty with the weight on the first syllable so it is not heard as thirteen.

中文: 该项目最可衡量的好处或许是有机会以小组形式会面，这在如此分散的组织里很难安排。许多官员可能一起工作三十年，却不了解彼此的长处和短处。
हिन्दी: शायद इस कार्यक्रम का सबसे मापने योग्य लाभ छोटे समूहों में मिलने का अवसर रहा है, जो इतने बिखरे हुए संगठन में आयोजित करना कठिन है। कई अधिकारी तीस साल साथ काम करके भी एक-दूसरे की ताकत और कमज़ोरियाँ नहीं जान पाते।
नेपाली: सायद यस कार्यक्रमको सबैभन्दा मापनयोग्य फाइदा साना समूहमा भेट्ने अवसर हो, जुन यति छरिएको संगठनमा मिलाउन गाह्रो छ। धेरै अधिकृतहरूले तीस वर्षसम्म सँगै काम गर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ तर एकअर्काका बल र कमजोरी थाहा हुँदैन।
Tiếng Việt: Có lẽ lợi ích đo lường được nhất của chương trình là cơ hội gặp gỡ theo nhóm nhỏ, điều khó sắp xếp trong một tổ chức phân tán như vậy. Nhiều sĩ quan có thể làm việc cùng nhau ba mươi năm mà vẫn không biết điểm mạnh và điểm yếu của nhau.
