Correct Transcript:

Social capital is a concept that was introduced by sociologists, many years ago. It's actually the networks and resources that people use to deliver social outcomes. For instance, it might be holding a sporting event, running a community fate, being part of a club.
It is difficult to measure social capital and one way of looking at it is the extend that people volunteer in their local community. So you can consider the volunteering rate as an indicate for how healthy a community is. You can also look at something called a well-being index - the way people think about their lives and how trusting they are of others, their general perception of the value of their life.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "reserves", the speaker says "resources"

Explanation: The speaker says "the networks and resources", not "reserves". Both words start with the same letter, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "fair", the speaker says "fate"

Explanation: Listen for "running a community fate", not "fair". They both start with the same letter, but the ending is different, so wait for the last part.

Printed "amount", the speaker says "extend"

Explanation: You will hear "is the extend that people", not "amount". The first letters are different, so listen from the start of the word.

Printed "index", the speaker says "indicate"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "as an indicate for", not "index". Both start with the same letter, so follow the whole word to hear the difference.

Printed "accepting", the speaker says "trusting"

Explanation: Listen again to "how trusting they are of others", not "accepting". The words end the same way, so focus on the start to tell them apart.

"community" matches the audio

Explanation: "people volunteer in their local community" looks like a repeat and might seem odd. The speaker says community exactly here, so do not click it.

"club" matches the audio

Explanation: "being part of a club" is short and easy to miss next to events. The speaker says club exactly, so do not click it.
