Correct Transcript:

We talked last week about ways to avoid cold-weather injuries. Today we are going to talk about emergency treatment of hypothermia. Hypothermia can be mild, moderate or severe. Mild hypothermia is something that most people in cold climates have experienced at one time or another. You feel so cold that your body start to shake - not very much, but uncontrollably.

Printed "least", the speaker says "last"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "talked last week". Both words start with the same letter, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "adapt", the speaker says "avoid"

Explanation: Listen again to "ways to avoid cold-weather". The first letters match, so listen to the end of the word.

Printed "should", the speaker says "can"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "can be mild". The printed and spoken words start with different letters, so trust the sound.

Printed "must", the speaker says "most"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "most people in cold". The first letter is the same, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "stalks", the speaker says "start"

Explanation: The speaker says "your body start to", not "stalks". Both words start with the same letter, so listen for the different ending.

"hypothermia" matches the audio

Explanation: "treatment of hypothermia" has a long medical word that may catch your eye. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"uncontrollably" matches the audio

Explanation: "but uncontrollably." looks unusual at the sentence end and may seem wrong. The audio matches it exactly, so do not click it.
