> Look at the text below. In 35 seconds, you must read this text aloud as naturally and clearly as possible. You have 40 seconds to read aloud.

Now, Northwestern University chemists have developed a new catalyst that quickly, cleanly, and ultimately breaks down Nylon-6 in a matter of minutes without generating harmful byproducts. Even better: The process does not require toxic solvents, expensive materials, or extreme conditions, making it practical for everyday applications.

## Explanation

Say "Northwestern University chemists" as one group, then pause. Give each adverb in "quickly, cleanly, and ultimately" its own beat. Say "Nylon-6" as "nylon six" and "catalyst" as "KAT-uh-list." Pause at the colon after "Even better." Read "toxic solvents, expensive materials, or extreme conditions" evenly.

## Hints

- Focus on pronouncing technical terms like 'catalyst' and 'byproducts' clearly.
- Ensure you pause briefly at commas to allow the listener to process the information.
