Correct Transcript:

If you're anything like me, you love travelling and discovering hidden gems in every city you visit. Last month, I had the chance to explore Paris, and it was an unforgettable journey. The Eiffel Tower at night is simply breath-taking, illuminating the sky with its radiant lights. I also ventured into some local bistros, where I enjoyed the most delicious croissants. One thing that stood out to me was the Louvre Museum. It was so vast; I could spend hours looking at all the unique artworks. Parisians were incredibly hospitable, making the trip even more delightful.

Printed "adore", the speaker says "love"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "you love travelling". The printed and spoken words start with different letters, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "cafes", the speaker says "bistros"

Explanation: The speaker says "local bistros, where", not "cafes". The spoken word is longer and it starts with a different letter from the printed one.

Printed "tasted", the speaker says "enjoyed"

Explanation: Listen for "I enjoyed the most". They end with the same letters, so focus on the start of the word.

Printed "massive", the speaker says "vast"

Explanation: You will hear "It was so vast". The printed word is much longer, so listen for the short spoken word.

Printed "days", the speaker says "hours"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "spend hours looking at". The two words start with different letters, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "different", the speaker says "unique"

Explanation: Listen again to "all the unique artworks". The meanings are close, so trust your ears, not the meaning on the page.

Printed "rememberable", the speaker says "delightful"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "even more delightful". The printed word is much longer and starts with a different letter from the spoken one.

"Eiffel" matches the audio

Explanation: "The Eiffel Tower at night" looks like a tricky name in the sentence. It is spoken exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"croissants" matches the audio

Explanation: "the most delicious croissants." may catch your eye as unusual. The speaker actually says this word, so do not click it.
