‘To end our special news bulletin,’said the voice of television announcer,'we are going over to the macaroni fields of Calabria.
tuː ɛnd ˈaʊə ˈspɛʃəl njuːz ˈbʊlɪtɪn,sɛd ðə vɔɪs ɒv ˈtɛlɪˌvɪʒən əˈnaʊnsə,wiː ɑː ˈgəʊɪŋ ˈəʊvə tuː ðə ˌmækəˈrəʊni fiːldz ɒv Calabria.
Macaroni has been grown in this area for over six hundred years.
ˌmækəˈrəʊni hæz biːn grəʊn ɪn ðɪs ˈeərɪə fɔːr ˈəʊvə sɪks ˈhʌndrəd jɪəz.
Two of the leading growers, Giuseppe Moldova and Riccardo Brabante, tell me that they have been expecting a splendid crop this year, and harvesting has begun earlier than usual.

Here you can see two workers who, between them, have just finished cutting three cartloads of golden brown macaroni stalks.
hɪə juː kæn siː tuː ˈwɜːkəz huː, bɪˈtwiːn ðɛm, hæv ʤʌst ˈfɪnɪʃt ˈkʌtɪŋ θriː ˈkɑːtləʊdz ɒv ˈgəʊldən braʊn ˌmækəˈrəʊni stɔːks.
The whole village has been working day and night gathering and threshing this year's crop before the September rains.
ðə həʊl ˈvɪlɪʤ hæz biːn ˈwɜːkɪŋ deɪ ænd naɪt ˈgæðərɪŋ ænd ˈθrɛʃɪŋ ðɪs jɪəz krɒp bɪˈfɔː sɛpˈtɛmbə reɪnz.
On the right, you can see Mrs.Branbante herself. She has been helping her husband for thirty years now.
ɒn ðə raɪt, juː kæn siː Mrs.Branbante hɜːˈsɛlf. ʃiː hæz biːn ˈhɛlpɪŋ hɜː ˈhʌzbənd fɔː ˈθɜːti jɪəz naʊ.
Mrs.Branbante is talking to the manager of the local factory where the crop is processed.
Mrs.Branbante ɪz ˈtɔːkɪŋ tuː ðə ˈmænɪʤər ɒv ðə ˈləʊkəl ˈfæktəri weə ðə krɒp ɪz ˈprəʊsɛst.
This last scene shows you what will happen at the end of harvest: the famous Calabrian macaroni-eating competition.
ðɪs lɑːst siːn ʃəʊz juː wɒt wɪl ˈhæpən æt ði ɛnd ɒv ˈhɑːvɪst: ðə ˈfeɪməs Calabrianˌmækəˈrəʊni-ˈiːtɪŋ ˌkɒmpɪˈtɪʃən.
Signor Fratelli , the present champion, has won it every year since 1991.
ˈsaɪnə Fratelli , ðə ˈprɛznt ˈʧæmpiən, hæz wʌn ɪt ˈɛvri jɪə sɪns ˈnaɪnˈtiːn ˈnaɪnti wʌn.
And that ends our special bulletin for today, Thursday, April 1st.
ænd ðæt ɛndz ˈaʊə ˈspɛʃəl ˈbʊlɪtɪn fɔː təˈdeɪ, ˈθɜːzdeɪ, ˈeɪprəl fɜːst.
We are now going back to the studio.
