Correct Transcript:

Scientists now need to test their ideas for helping the immune system by trying out a list of available drugs – and, in the initial stages of the research, they will be using zebrafish as models. The world of research using zebrafish is wonderfully collaborative and fast-moving. Ramakrishna's main partner is the Sanger Institute which is just a few miles from the LMB. She and her team collaborate closely with the scientists there on tools and techniques – including producing the mutants in order to identify genetic pathways. Zebrafish are still relatively new in terms of their contribution to research – but it’s difficult to overstate how important they are.

Printed "yelling", the speaker says "helping"

Explanation: You will hear "ideas for helping the". On the page it reads "yelling". The two words start with different letters, so listen to the whole word and trust the sound.

Printed "we", the speaker says "they"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "research, they will be". The text shows "we" instead. These words start with different letters, so focus on the first sound to choose the correct one.

Printed "beautifully", the speaker says "wonderfully"

Explanation: Listen again to "is wonderfully collaborative". What is written is "beautifully". Both words end the same way, so listen to the start and middle to catch the correct word.

Printed "rules", the speaker says "tools"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "on tools and techniques". You see "rules" in the text. The first letters are different, so listen to that first sound to notice the real word.

Printed "reproducing", the speaker says "producing"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "including producing the mutants". It shows "reproducing" in writing. The printed word is longer, so listen for the shorter spoken word in the audio.

Printed "attribution", the speaker says "contribution"

Explanation: The speaker says "their contribution to research", not "attribution". Written there is "attribution". The two words start with different letters, so follow the audio, not the text.

Printed "interstate", the speaker says "overstate"

Explanation: Listen for "difficult to overstate how". The page has "interstate" instead. Both words end the same way, so pay attention to the first letter to tell them apart.

"Sanger" matches the audio

Explanation: "Ramakrishna's main partner is the Sanger Institute" has a less common name. It may look odd, but the speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"LMB" matches the audio

Explanation: "a few miles from the LMB" shows a short initialism that looks like a trick. The speaker also says LMB clearly, so do not click it.
