Correct Transcript:

Making the perfect cup of coffee is an art that requires accuracy and passion. First, you grind the coffee beans to a fine consistency, ensuring that the particles are uniform in size. Then, you add the ground coffee to your filter and slowly pour hot water over it, allowing the water to extract the rich flavours and aromas. The key to a robust coffee is to let it steep for exactly four minutes. Finally, you can enjoy your coffee with a splash of milk or simply black, depending on your taste.

Printed "precision", the speaker says "accuracy"

Explanation: Listen again to "requires accuracy and passion". The printed word "precision" starts with a different letter, so listen to the start of the word.

Printed "powder", the speaker says "consistency"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "to a fine consistency". The spoken word is much longer than "powder", so listen to the whole word.

Printed "granules", the speaker says "particles"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "the particles are uniform". Both words end the same, so listen to the beginning for the difference.

Printed "brew", the speaker says "steep"

Explanation: The speaker says "let it steep for exactly", not "brew". The two words start with different letters, so focus on the start.

Printed "dash", the speaker says "splash"

Explanation: Listen for "a splash of milk". Both words end the same, so listen to the start of the word for the difference.

Printed "preference", the speaker says "taste"

Explanation: You will hear "depending on your taste". The printed word is much longer than the spoken word, so trust your ears.

"filter" matches the audio

Explanation: "add the ground coffee to your filter and slowly" may look like a trick. It is exactly what the speaker says, so do not click it.

"aromas" matches the audio

Explanation: "extract the rich flavours and aromas" contains a less common word. The speaker pronounces it as written, so do not click it.
