"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!

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