Hi, what you are asking is not simple, because there are actually several possible transcriptions for every sentence. It also depends on which kind of English you are interested in (British or American, for example). And it depends how familiar you are with IPA too.

  • I'll give you some transcriptions that corresponds to the different ways I think I would say them, and using IPA as correectly as I can.

I think I would say it like u wrote ur second transcription

what about the second sentence?
does "d" in closed disappears or not? because when I say it it sounds like there's no "d" or "th" sound

Oops! I forgot about the sencond sentence. Here's a transcription, the way I'd say it in normal speech, not slow though.

w? d?? ma?nd ?f a? klo?zd ð? w?ndo??
But I'm afraid you are right. That D in CLOSED actually disappears and it's not heard.
Again, just my opinion.
