Printed "walk", the speaker says "talk"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "we will talk about". They start with different letters, so listen to the start of the word.

Printed "of", the speaker says "if"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "important if you want". The printed word "of" does not make sense here, so listen to the start of the word.

Printed "gold", the speaker says "goal"

Explanation: The speaker says "your goal is to", not "gold". Both start with g, so wait for the end of the word.

Printed "have", the speaker says "has been"

Explanation: Listen for "has been returned to". They start with the same letter, but the audio word is much longer.

Printed "gain", the speaker says "going"

Explanation: You will hear "their swimwear and going to". Both start with g, so listen to the end where they differ.

Printed "on", the speaker says "of"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "because of inactivity during". The first letter is the same, so listen to the whole word.
