Correct Transcript:

Wisdom teeth are normally the last teeth to appear. This usually happens when people are in their late teen years or early twenties - in other words when they are older and wiser. Wisdom teeth are molars, or chewing teeth, at the back of the mouth. The third set of molars, if you have them, are your wisdom teeth. They can grow into place normally and never cause a problem. But often there is not enough room for them in the mouth. They might crowd other teeth. Sometimes they even push sideways through the gums.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "tenth", the speaker says "teeth"

Explanation: The speaker says "last teeth to appear", not "tenth". Both words start with the same letter, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "why", the speaker says "when"

Explanation: Listen for "happens when people". On the page it shows "why", so wait for the end of the word.

Printed "will", the speaker says "can"

Explanation: You will hear "They can grow". The printed form is "will", but the words start with different letters so trust the sound.

Printed "they", the speaker says "there"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "often there is not". The page shows "they", so listen for the extra ending.

Printed "plush", the speaker says "push"

Explanation: Listen again to "even push sideways". Both words start and end the same, so listen to the middle of the word.

"molars" matches the audio

Explanation: "Wisdom teeth are molars, or chewing teeth" uses the word 'molars', which looks technical. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"wiser" matches the audio

Explanation: "in other words when they are older and wiser" contains 'wiser', which may seem odd. The speaker says it exactly, so do not click it.
