Correct Transcript:

Good afternoon, everyone! Today, I'd like to share with you the incredible impact book clubs have on fostering community engagement. In our library, we've seen first-hand how these groups bring individuals together, creating a space for shared learning and diverse discussions. Members often tell us how much they appreciate the opportunity to explore different perspectives through literature. It's not just about reading the same book; it's about experiencing the stories together and engaging in meaningful dialogues. Book clubs also encourage members to step outside their comfort zones, introducing them to genres they wouldn't normally pick up. We believe these gatherings are essential in promoting literacy and a love for reading among all ages.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "effect", the speaker says "impact"

Explanation: You will hear "incredible impact book clubs". The page shows "effect". Both words end the same two letters, so they start with different letters. Listen to the whole word.

Printed "involvement", the speaker says "engagement"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "community engagement." You see "involvement" in the text. They end with the same two letters. They start with different letters, so follow the sound not the meaning.

Printed "school", the speaker says "library"

Explanation: Listen again to "In our library, we've". On the page it says "school". That written word makes less sense in this sentence, so trust your ears.

Printed "public", the speaker says "members"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "Book clubs also encourage members". You see "public" in the text. The two words start with different letters, so listen to the start of the word.

Printed "out", the speaker says "outside"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "step outside their comfort". The first letter is the same, so wait for the rest of the word.

"reading" matches the audio

Explanation: "It's not just about reading the same" has a common action word that may slow you down. The speaker says "reading" exactly, so do not click it.

"stories" matches the audio

Explanation: "experiencing the stories together" sits next to other tricky words. The speaker says "stories" exactly, so do not click it.
