Words to stress correctly
| constitutional | con·sti·TU·tion·al | /kɑnstəˈtuʃənəl/ |
| constitutions | con·sti·TU·tions | /kɑnstɪˈtuʃənz/ |
| introduction | in·tro·DUC·tion | /ɪntrəˈdʌkʃən/ |
| development | de·VEL·op·ment | /dɪˈvɛləpmənt/ |

54 words, aim for 21–25 seconds. No numbers. Breathe after system, England (second one) and law; the second sentence is long, so plan those breaths in advance.
Where marks are usually lost
Stress con·sti·TU·tions and con·sti·TU·tion·al both on TU; in·tro·DUC·tion and in·tro·DUCE near the end; de·VEL·op·ment on the second. Do not hesitate before evolution. Keep -s on provides, constitutions, aspects, systems.
General tip: "Common Law of England, the legal system of England" repeats England — do not let the second one fade.
