Printed "media", the speaker says "social"

Explanation: You will hear "more social networks than". The two words start with different letters, so listen to the start of the word.

Printed "designated", the speaker says "designed"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "are designed for". The first letter and the ending match, so focus on the middle of the word.

Printed "audios", the speaker says "videos"

Explanation: Listen again to "sharing videos music". The words begin with different letters, so check the first letter you hear.

Printed "all", the speaker says "some"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "and some are uniting". The printed and spoken words begin with different letters, and the spoken one is slightly longer.

Printed "peculiar", the speaker says "particular"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "a particular interest". Both words start with the same letter, and the spoken word is longer.

"Facebook" matches the audio

"popular" matches the audio
