L2 phonetics
Here are the answers to question five.
Mark the most likely site for the nucleus in each sentence
Assume in each case that there is a broad focus context.
a What did she have to go the HOSpital for? (Last lexical word.)
b Where’s all the BREAD gone ? (Absence of bread is part of shared context, so “gone” does not carry the nucleus.)
c A: I thought you liked music. (Nucleus on “like” or on “music” both accepted) B: I like CLASsical composers. (Composers are part of the already known context).
d My uncle is going to AustRALia next week. (Expressions of time at the end of sentences don’t carry the nucleus.)
e Melanie doesn’t know what she’s LOOKing for. (Last lexical word.)
f Fred didn’t do any work for his TEST. ( Last lexical word.)
g The lecture was a great sucCESS. (Last lexical word.)
h My HAIRdryer broke down yesterday. (Intransitive sentence – nucleus on non-human subject.)
i ‘What are you LOOKing at?’ asked Hassan. (The expression for speaking at the end does not carry the nucleus, so we move back to the last lexical word.)
j The DOG’s barking. (Intransitive sentence, Non-human subject.)
k ‘I’m going to EDinburgh next weekend,’ said Marie. (The final verb of speaking, and the final expression of time, do not carry the nucleus. )
l ‘Let’s go over to MIKE’s place,’ suggested Eric. (Speaking expression does not take nucleus, and in the phrase “Mike’s place”, the primary stress is on Mike, because it gives much more information.)
m And then the BOSS walked in. (Intransitive sentence and human subject BUT the sentence merely announces the arrival of the person.)
n Dogs BARK. (Intransitive sentence BUT general statement not linked to a context.)

L2 Thème
You're probably tired after all the tests, controles and exams. But when you have a moment, look through the suggested translation below, under the passage you translated :
L2S4 Thème Contrôle final mai 2010
80 minutes. Aucun document n’est autorisé.
Traduisez en anglais :
La campagne pour les élections législatives se poursuit en Grande-Bretagne. Les trois leaders Gordon Brown, Nick Clegg et David Cameron se sont affrontés en direct pour la seconde fois jeudi soir à Bristol, lors d'un débat télévisé retransmis par Sky news.
Au programme de cet échange : la politique étrangère. Plus combatifs que lors de leur premier débat télévisé, les chefs des trois principaux partis britanniques ont échangé leurs arguments sur l'Europe, l'Afghanistan, le climat ou l'immigration, sans qu'aucun d'eux ne prenne un avantage déterminant.
Le Premier ministre Gordon Brown a reproché au leader libéral-démocrate Nick Clegg de contribuer à affaiblir le Royaume-Uni et au chef des conservateurs David Cameron de vouloir l'isoler en Europe.
La prestation de Nick Clegg, déclaré vainqueur haut la main du premier débat par les médias, était très attendue. Elle avait suscité un regain de popularité dans les sondages du parti libéral-démocrate (centriste), traditionnellement le troisième parti de la vie politique britannique. Le parti du leader centriste pourrait servir de pivot à une coalition gouvernementale dans l'hypothèse, très probable au vu des sondages, où aucun parti ne remporterait la majorité absolue aux élections.
Une vive passe d'armes l'a opposé à M. Brown sur la volonté des "Lib Dems" de renoncer à la modernisation du système britannique de missiles balistiques nucléaires Trident - dont le coût est estimé par le gouvernement à 20 milliards de livres - à l'horizon 2020.
Alors que les derniers sondages ont ramené les libéraux-démocrates presque au niveau des Tories, la presse conservatrice avait attaqué jeudi le "troisième homme" Nick Clegg. Le Daily Telegraph avait consacré sa Une aux "révélations" sur des dons d'hommes d'affaires versés directement sur le compte bancaire de Nick Clegg et non sur celui du parti.
Une moyenne de cinq sondages instantanés diffusés immédiatement après le débat donnait Nick Clegg et David Cameron quasiment à égalité.
Libération
Suggested translation
The General Election campaign is continuing in the UK. The three party leaders : Gordon Brown, Nick Clegg and David Cameron confronted each other live for the second time, on Thursday evening in Bristol, in a televised debate broadcast by Sky News.
On the agenda was foreign policy. The three main party leaders showed more fighting spirit than in the first debate, and argued over Europe, Afghanistan, climate change and immigration, without any of them gaining a decisive advantage.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown accused Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg of helping to weaken Britain, and he claimed the Tory leader wanted to isolate Britain within Europe.
The performance of Nick Clegg, declared easy winner of the first debate by the media, was much awaited. His earlier performance had boosted the position of his Liberal Democratic centre party in opinion polls; the party is traditionally considered the third party in British politics. This centre party could be crucial to a coalition government if, as seems highly likely given the opinion polls, no party gains an absolute majority.
Mr. Clegg clashed with Mr. Brown concerning Lib Dem wishes to abandon the modernization of the British ballistic nuclear missile system, Trident, by 2020. Government sources estimate the cost of this upgrade at 20 billion pounds.
In the latest opinion polls the Liberal Democrats were almost on a level with the Tories, and the Conservative press launched attacks on Nick Clegg, the “third man” on Thursday last. The Daily Telegraph reported on its front page “revelations” about business donations being paid directly into Clegg’s personal bank account, rather than his party’s.
The average of five flash polls released straight after the debate showed Clegg and Cameron on level pegging.

L2 Phonetics
I've just started marking your phonetics scripts. Here is the answer to the last question.
What is the difference between
a) Michael will be waiting for them at the airport HOPEfully.
AND
b) Michael will be waiting for them at the AIRport hopefully.
In the first sentence, the adverb does not apply to the whole sentence. The adverb received the nucleus because it is the last lexical word of the sentence. That is to say the adverb relates to the verb. Michael, while he waits, will be full of hope.
In the second sentence, "hopefully" does not receive the nucleus. This shows that the adverb refers to the whole of the sentence - it is the speaker, and not Michael, who is feeling hopeful.
More soon.
