Result:
Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to our vineyard, where the journey of wine begins. Today, I'll be sharing some insights into the art of wine tasting, which is both an enjoyable and educational experience. First, it's essential to observe the wine's colour and clarity, which reveals much about its age and quality. Swirling the wine gently in the glass aerates it, unlocking its distinct aromas. When tasting, let the wine coat your palate, allowing you to appreciate its full body and complexity. The finish, or the taste that lingers after swallowing, should be savoured as it's indicative of the wine's character. Remember, wine tasting is about more than just the taste; it's about the story each bottle tells.

Printed "all", the speaker says "everyone"

Explanation: Listen for "Good afternoon, everyone." You see "all" on the page, not in the audio.

Printed "travelling", the speaker says "journey"

Explanation: You will hear "the journey of wine." You see "travelling" in the text, not the audio.

Printed "telling", the speaker says "sharing"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "I'll be sharing some insights". The page has "telling", but the recording has 'sharing'.

Printed "While", the speaker says "When"

Explanation: Listen again to "When tasting". The page shows "While", so wait for the whole word.

Printed "testing", the speaker says "tasting"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "wine tasting is about more". The page shows "testing", but the speaker says 'tasting'.

"colour" matches the audio

Explanation: "observe the wine's colour and clarity" uses an uncommon spelling. It matches the speaker exactly, so do not click it.

"savoured" matches the audio

Explanation: "should be savoured as it's indicative" may look odd, but the speaker says it exactly as printed. Do not click it.
