Correct Transcript:

Think about where the interview will take place. Try to interview the person in a place which is appropriate to the interview – their place of work, for example. Interviewing a person on their territory can put them at ease, and also provide you with colour for your story. How you start the interview can influence how successful it will be. Be confident and courteous. Start by introducing yourself, and stating the reason for the interview. Set your ground rules. For example, you may want to insist that the interviewee says in advance if they want what they say to be of the record.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "approximate", the speaker says "appropriate"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "a place which is appropriate to". Printed "approximate" is on the page, not in the audio.

Printed "nation", the speaker says "territory"

Explanation: The speaker says "on their territory can put" not "nation". They start with different letters, so listen from the first sound.

Printed "galour", the speaker says "colour"

Explanation: Listen for "and also provide you with colour for". Printed "galour" looks similar at the end, so focus on the first part.

Printed "consistent", the speaker says "confident"

Explanation: You will hear "Be confident and courteous". Wait for the whole word because the beginnings are alike.

Printed "increase", the speaker says "insist"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "you may want to insist that". The spoken word is much shorter, so listen for a short action word.

Printed "on", the speaker says "of"

Explanation: Listen again to "to be of the record". They start the same, so hear the whole small word before you click.

"Interviewing" matches the audio

Explanation: "Interviewing a person on their territory" looks long and odd next to the change. It is exactly what the speaker says, so do not click it.

"work" matches the audio

Explanation: "their place of work, for example" has a common word that may look wrong. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.
