Printed "belonging", the speaker says "community"

Explanation: Listen for "a sense of community". The printed word "belonging" is on the page, but not in the audio. The two words start with different letters, so listen to the first sound to tell them apart.

Printed "time", the speaker says "effort"

Explanation: You will hear "everyone contributes their effort". Click the printed word "time" on the page. The words start with different letters, so listen from the start of the word.

Printed "knowledge", the speaker says "expertise"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "sharing expertise and harvests". The printed word "knowledge" appears instead, so mark it. Both words are similar in meaning, so trust what you hear, not the printed meaning.

Printed "increase", the speaker says "improvement"

Explanation: Listen again to "an improvement in local biodiversity". Click "increase" in the transcript. Both words start with the letter i, so wait for the whole word to be sure.

Printed "common", the speaker says "prevalent"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "becoming more prevalent". Select the printed word "common" on the page. The words begin with different letters, so listen from the first sound.

Printed "relax", the speaker says "unwind"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "to unwind and connect with nature". Choose the printed word "relax" as the changed item. The two words start with different letters, so the first sound helps you decide.

Printed "valued", the speaker says "appreciated"

Explanation: The speaker says "feels appreciated and connected", not "valued". Click the printed word "valued" in the text. Both words end with the same letters, so listen for the longer word to catch the difference.

"growing" matches the audio

Explanation: "growing plants." looks like a changed phrase, because it is next to the error. The speaker actually says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"butterflies" matches the audio

Explanation: "with bees and butterflies becoming" has a familiar word that may seem odd. The speaker says it just as printed, so leave it alone.
