"Nowadays people tend to live longer and longer lives"

This sounds as though it is computer-generated speech in an Am.E accent. It is flat and has no intonation, and I would definitely recommend you do not adopt this speech pattern!

You've downloaded the file successfully at the first time, and now could not get into there? Just copy the link [link] into the address bar of you browser, and then press Enter, the download dialog will appear. If not, click the address bar to highlighten the address, and then press Enter, once or twice, the dialog will appear. Thank you for patience.

Thank you Jobb. I know how to copy and paste, but I was unable to enter the site.

This is what I get.

We didn't find any Web pages matching the following criteria:
Containing this query term: [link]

Suggestions:
- Check your spelling.
- Try more general words.
- Try different words that mean the same thing.

Also, you can visit the Yahoo! Search Help Center for more suggestions.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Please write down what the speaker said.,
I'd like to know whether a native English speaker can clearly understand the speaker's pronunciation.

I'm afraid not, Job. I have managed to get into the site, but I cannot find this particular thing you are looking for. Sorry
