L5-(1): The facts

/ɛl5-(1):/ /ðə/ /fækts/

Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their readers with unimportant

/ˈɛdɪtəz/ /ɒv/ /ˈnjuːzˌpeɪpəz/ /ænd/ /ˌmægəˈziːnz/ /ˈɒf(ə)n/ /gəʊ/ /tuː/ /ɪksˈtriːmz/ /tuː/ /prəˈvaɪd/ /ðeə/ /ˈriːdəz/ /wɪð/ /ˌʌnɪmˈpɒtənt/

facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been instructed by a well-known magazine to write an

/fækts/ /ænd/ /stəˈtɪstɪks./ /lɑːst/ /jɪər/ /ə/ /ˈʤɜːnəlɪst/ /hæd/ /biːn/ /ɪnˈstrʌktɪd/ /baɪ/ /ə/ /wɛl-nəʊn/ /ˌmægəˈziːn/ /tuː/ /raɪt/ /æn/

article on the president's palace in a new African republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the

/ˈɑːtɪkl/ /ɒn/ /ðə/ /ˈprɛzɪdənts/ /ˈpælɪs/ /ɪn/ /ə/ /njuː/ /ˈæfrɪkən/ /rɪˈpʌblɪk./ /wɛn/ /ði/ /ˈɑːtɪkl/ /əˈraɪvd,/ /ði/ /ˈɛdɪtə/ /riːd/ /ðiː/

first sentence and then refused to publish it. The article began: 'Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall

/fɜːst/ /ˈsɛntəns/ /ænd/ /ðɛn/ /ˌriːˈfjuːzd/ /tuː/ /ˈpʌblɪʃ/ /ɪt./ /ði/ /ˈɑːtɪkl/ /bɪˈgæn:/ /ˈhʌndrədz/ /ɒv/ /stɛps/ /liːd/ /tuː/ /ðə/ /haɪ/ /wɔːl/

which surrounds the president's palace'. The editor at once sent the journalist a fax instructing him to

/wɪʧ/ /səˈraʊndz/ /ðə/ /ˈprɛzɪdənts/ /ˈpælɪs./ /ði/ /ˈɛdɪtər/ /æt/ /wʌns/ /sɛnt/ /ðə/ /ˈʤɜːnəlɪst/ /ə/ /fæks/ /ɪnˈstrʌktɪŋ/ /hɪm/ /tuː/

find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.

/faɪnd/ /aʊt/ /ði/ /ɪgˈzækt/ /ˈnʌmbər/ /ɒv/ /stɛps/ /ænd/ /ðə/ /haɪt/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /wɔːl/

The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send

/ðə/ /ˈʤɜːnəlɪst/ /ɪˈmiːdiətli/ /sɛt/ /aʊt/ /tuː/ /əbˈteɪn/ /ðiːz/ /ɪmˈpɔːtənt/ /fækts,/ /bʌt/ /hiː/ /tʊk/ /ə/ /lɒŋ/ /taɪm/ /tuː/ /sɛnd/

them.
