Correct Transcript:

I can give you an anecdote about my personal experience. Two years ago, we wrote a paper on the benefit of vigorous intensity, physical activity, and that paper received a lot of media, and then 70% of them reported wrongly. And we actually did a content analysis a little bit interested in, you know, what sort of media reported correctly and what sort of media reported incorrectly. And you know, we we did find that, you know, with media sources like New York Times and Times Magazine, they call it the economists, then they actually had proper interview with us. And they asked us to clarify and they did their background research. So, it's a lot more likely to be right and then Daily Telegraph was one of the worse, one that, that's surprising one. But the audience here, probably I would say, don't really. So, we do see.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "interaction", the speaker says "intensity"

Explanation: The speaker says "benefit of vigorous intensity", not "interaction". Both words start with the same letter, so listen to the whole word to hear the end.

Printed "conclusive", the speaker says "content"

Explanation: Listen for "did a content analysis". The first letter is the same, so listen to the rest of the word.

Printed "clear", the speaker says "clarify"

Explanation: You will hear "asked us to clarify". The spoken word is longer, so hear the extra letters at the end.

Printed "bad", the speaker says "worse"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "one of the worse", not "bad". These words start with different letters, so follow your ears, not the printed word.

Printed "astonishing", the speaker says "surprising"

Explanation: Listen again to "that's surprising one". They end with the same two letters, so listen to the start and middle to tell them apart.

"New" matches the audio

Explanation: "with media sources like New York Times" has a common name that may look odd on the page. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"Times" matches the audio

Explanation: Near it, "and Times Magazine" sits right next to a changed word and may catch your eye. It matches the audio exactly, so do not click it.
