Read the text aloud.
Tidal energy, also known as tidal power, is a renewable source of energy and a form of hydropower used to generate electricity from the energy of the tides. Though not currently widely utilized, due to high costs and limited availability, it can be called the energy resource of the future given the current rate of depletion of energy resources.

Words to stress correctly
| availability | a·vai·la·BI·li·ty | /əveɪləˈbɪləti/ |
| electricity | e·lec·TRI·ci·ty | /ɪlɛkˈtrɪsəti/ |
| renewable | re·NEW·a·ble | /riˈnuəbəl/ |
| depletion | de·PLE·tion | /dɪˈpliʃən/ |
| hydropower | HY·dro·power | /ˈhaɪdroʊpaʊr/ |
| currently | CUR·rent·ly | /ˈkɝəntli/ |
59 words, aim for 23–27 seconds. No numbers. Breathe after hydropower, after tides. and after availability,; short pauses at the other commas.
Where marks are usually lost
Stress: a·vai·la·BI·li·ty, e·lec·TRI·ci·ty, re·NEW·a·ble, de·PLE·tion, HY·dro·power, CUR·rent·ly. Slowing down before availability and electricity. Dropping the -s in tides, costs, resources and the -ed in utilized, limited, called.
General tip: energy appears four times—keep it light and quick each time so the long words get the attention.
What it means: 中文 · हिन्दी · नेपाली · Tiếng Việt
中文: 潮汐能，也称潮汐发电，是一种可再生能源，也是一种利用潮汐能量发电的水力发电形式。虽然由于成本高和可用性有限，目前尚未被广泛利用，但鉴于当前能源资源的消耗速度，它可被称为未来的能源资源。
हिन्दी: ज्वारीय ऊर्जा, जिसे ज्वारीय शक्ति भी कहते हैं, ऊर्जा का एक नवीकरणीय स्रोत और जलविद्युत का एक रूप है जिसका उपयोग ज्वार-भाटे की ऊर्जा से बिजली बनाने में होता है। हालाँकि ऊँची लागत और सीमित उपलब्धता के कारण अभी इसका व्यापक उपयोग नहीं होता, ऊर्जा संसाधनों के घटने की वर्तमान दर को देखते हुए इसे भविष्य का ऊर्जा संसाधन कहा जा सकता है।
नेपाली: ज्वारभाटा ऊर्जा, जसलाई टाइडल पावर पनि भनिन्छ, ऊर्जाको नवीकरणीय स्रोत र जलविद्युत्को एक रूप हो जुन ज्वारभाटाको ऊर्जाबाट बिजुली उत्पादन गर्न प्रयोग गरिन्छ। उच्च लागत र सीमित उपलब्धताका कारण अहिले व्यापक रूपमा प्रयोग नभए पनि, ऊर्जा स्रोतहरू रित्तिँदै गएको हालको दर हेर्दा यसलाई भविष्यको ऊर्जा स्रोत भन्न सकिन्छ।
Tiếng Việt: Năng lượng thủy triều, còn gọi là điện thủy triều, là nguồn năng lượng tái tạo và một dạng thủy điện dùng để sản xuất điện từ năng lượng của thủy triều. Dù hiện chưa được sử dụng rộng rãi do chi phí cao và khả năng khai thác hạn chế, nó có thể được gọi là nguồn năng lượng của tương lai, xét theo tốc độ cạn kiệt tài nguyên năng lượng hiện nay.
