Pronunciation Tips

2.Summit has: Linking. Link the /t/ in “summit” and /h/ in “has” together.
3.Egypt: /ˈiː.dʒɪpt/ (1) “E” here is a long i sound (2) “y” here is like a short i sound. (3) The /p/ here is not that clear. The sound is very quiet. Sounds more like a pause and then pronounces the /t/ sound after it clearly.
4.Dire: /daɪr/. Here is /aɪ/.
5.in Egypt with dire warnings: The speaker highlighted the word “dire” to stress the seriousness of the situation by raising the intonation a little bit.

People always talk about global warming, and that sounds like a big picture. However, things that happen in our daily life are like puzzles that lead to the ultimate big picture. Most people living here in Taiwan for sure can sense the weird weather in recent years. More rainy days and the weather is also abnormal. The time for winter sometimes feels like summer, and other things. Extreme temperatures, wildfires, drought, and flooding have all been made worse by the last eight years, being the hottest on record, according to the World Meteorological Organization.
