Correct Transcript:

Say like this, so you don't really have to be using a phone, you just have to be sitting the way people normally sit. So, the thing that I tell my patients all the time is if instead of sitting like this, all you have to do to not sit like that is tuck your feet up under you, you're automatically and you guys can try this right now. Perfect position neck back. Perfect position helps your stomach muscles as well. I'm actually developing a little pad with some people in the engineering school that will shock you if you put your feet down. Yeah, but if you sit like this all day long, you actually can't slouch and you can't get neck and back pain if you try to slouch with your feet up, you'll actually fall into your computer screen. So, try that at home, but in fact it's not only good for your neck and back. It prevents rotator cuff disease, thoracic kyphosis. So, it's good for what ails you. So, tuck your feet up. And we're done. Good advice.

Printed "Grazing", the speaker says "Say"

Explanation: You will hear "Say like this". The printed word starts with a different letter, so listen to the first sound.

Printed "nobly", the speaker says "normally"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "people normally sit". Both words start with the same first letter, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "aesthetically", the speaker says "automatically"

Explanation: Listen again to "you're automatically and you". Both words start the same and end the same, so follow the sound, not the meaning.

Printed "bones", the speaker says "muscles"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "stomach muscles as well". The printed word and the spoken word start with different letters, so listen to the start.

Printed "fully", the speaker says "long"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "all day long". The printed word is much longer than the spoken word, so hear a short word.

Printed "mobile", the speaker says "computer"

Explanation: The speaker says "fall into your computer screen", not "mobile". The printed and spoken words start with different letters, so listen to the first sound.

Printed "circling", the speaker says "rotator"

Explanation: Listen for "rotator cuff disease". The printed word is very different, so focus on the word the speaker actually says.

Printed "Great", the speaker says "Good"

Explanation: You will hear "And we're done. Good advice". Both words start with the same letter, so wait for the whole short word.

"phone" matches the audio

Explanation: "be using a phone" is a printed phrase that looks like a change. The speaker actually says it exactly, so do not click it.

"tuck" matches the audio

Explanation: "tuck your feet up under you" may look odd, but the speaker says it exactly as printed. Do not click it.
