Correct Transcript:

Studying nutrition is so interesting because whatever aspect of science you're interested in, you can relate it to nutrition. So if you're interested in chemistry, you can learn about food chemistry and how food ... um ... what food is made up of, the molecules, how it reacts in the digestive system. If you're interested in biology, you might be more interested in the physiological effects of nutrition, and nutrients and foods. And if you're interested in maths, then you can apply that as well, looking at the associations between food and health. So, whatever aspect of science you're interested in, nutrition is very interesting to study as well.

Printed "intriguing", the speaker says "interesting"

Explanation: The speaker says "so interesting because", not "intriguing". Both words start with the same letter, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "chemicals", the speaker says "chemistry"

Explanation: Listen for "interested in chemistry". The first letter is the same, so wait for the rest of the word.

Printed "responds", the speaker says "reacts"

Explanation: You will hear "how it reacts in". Both words start with the same letter, so listen to the end of the word.

Printed "outcomes", the speaker says "effects"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "physiological effects of nutrition". The first letters are different, so listen from the start of the word.

Printed "connections", the speaker says "associations"

Explanation: Listen again to "looking at the associations". The first letters differ, but the last two letters match, so focus on the start or middle.

Printed "part", the speaker says "aspect"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "whatever aspect of science". The printed word is much shorter, so listen for the longer spoken word.

"nutrition" matches the audio

Explanation: "relate it to nutrition" may look odd, but the speaker says it exactly as printed. Do not click it.

"food" matches the audio

Explanation: "food chemistry and how food" has a repeated word that can trick you, but it matches the audio. Do not click it.
