Correct Transcript:

Melody is not smoking, so smoking is bad and is one of, you know, probably the most, although it's not the most prevelant unhealthy behaviour anymore, at least in most countries. It's one of the worst in terms of almost every health outcome you can think of. And then I think there's two things that people don't really think about as much that probably are at least as important in terms of longevity. And the first of those would be social connectedness. So having a sense of social integration and, and that's measure in lots and lots of different ways. Sometimes it's about the strength of your personal relationships and your perception of the support that you received from those relationships, or the intimacy in those relationships are having a confidant. So that’s, that's one aspect at being engaged in the community around you in some way. And the other aspect is having a sense of purpose and sense that you're that there is something bigger than yourself and that you have.

Printed "correct", the speaker says "prevelant"

Explanation: The speaker says "the most prevelant", not "correct". On the page you see "correct", so listen for a different first letter.

Printed "outsourcing", the speaker says "outcome"

Explanation: Listen for "every health outcome". The page shows "outsourcing", but both start with the same letter so listen to the whole word.

Printed "made", the speaker says "measure"

Explanation: You will hear "that's measure in lots". The transcript reads "made", yet the spoken word is much longer than that short printed word.

Printed "presence", the speaker says "perception"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "your perception of the". In the text it reads "presence", so listen to the full word because they start the same way.

Printed "act", the speaker says "aspect"

Explanation: Listen again to "one aspect at". The script shows "act". The two words end the same, so catch the extra letters at the start.

Printed "angle", the speaker says "aspect"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "the other aspect". The page shows "angle". Wait for the end of the word to tell them apart.

Printed "source", the speaker says "sense"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "sense that you're". The printed text reads "source", and they share the first letter, so listen to the full word.

"Melody" matches the audio

Explanation: "Melody is not smoking" looks like a trick because it is a name. The speaker actually says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"confidant" matches the audio

Explanation: "having a confidant" may look odd and so tempt you to click it. The speaker says this word exactly as printed, so do not click it.
