Correct Transcript:

For some people, this proposition may seem far fetched, but ending poverty is both morally necessary and actually feasible. All of us must play a role in making it happen. All human beings want, and have a right to live in dignity, to determine our own destinies, and to be respected by other, by other people. Despite the universality of these rights, our capacities to fulfill them vary enormously, and no dividing line is more profound in influencing the quality of our lives than the gulf between poverty and prosperity.

Printed "presentation", the speaker says "proposition"

Explanation: Listen for "this proposition may seem". The printed word is "presentation". Both words start with the same letter, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "ethically", the speaker says "morally"

Explanation: You will hear "both morally necessary and". Click "ethically" on the page. The first letters differ, so listen from the first sound to tell them apart.

Printed "way", the speaker says "right"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "have a right to live". Mark the printed word "way". The words start with different letters and mean different things, so follow the sound.

Printed "three", the speaker says "these"

Explanation: Listen again to "universality of these rights". The printed word is "three". Both words start with the same letter, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "divining", the speaker says "dividing"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "no dividing line is more". Select "divining" on the page. Both words end with the same letters, so listen to the middle of the word.

"prosperity" matches the audio

Explanation: "the gulf between poverty and prosperity" looks like a rare word. It is said exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"people" matches the audio

Explanation: "by other, by other people" may seem odd because of the repeat. The speaker says it exactly, so do not click it.
