Do you think getting cold can give you a cold? Is it bad to drink milk when you have a cold? Can chicken soup cure a cold? Ranit Mishori is a family medicine doctor at Georgetown university Medical Center in Washington. She says colds are more common in winter, but not because of low temperatures. The cold weather just means people stay inside more.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "get", the speaker says "give"

Explanation: Listen again to "getting cold can give". Both words start with g, so listen to the end of the word.

Printed "why", the speaker says "when"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "drink milk when you". The first letter is the same, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "medical", the speaker says "medicine"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "family medicine doctor". The spoken word is longer, so listen for the extra letters at the end.

Printed "live", the speaker says "stay"

Explanation: The speaker says "people stay inside more", not "live". The words start with different letters, so hear the first sound to tell them apart.

"Georgetown" matches the audio

Explanation: "Georgetown university Medical" has a name you may not know. It looks strange, but the speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"inside" matches the audio

Explanation: "people live inside more" is easy to miss next to the changed word. The speaker also says "inside" as written, so do not click it.
