Correct Transcript:

In today's talk, we'll explore the critical issues surrounding endangered species and the measures needed to protect them. One of the primary concerns is habitat destruction, often caused by deforestation and urban expansion. This not only eliminates the natural habitats of these species but also fragments their living spaces, making it harder for them to survive. Additionally, poaching and illegal wildlife trade are significantly contributing to the decline of species like tigers, elephants, and rhinos. Efforts to combat these activities include stricter laws and improved conservation strategies. Another vital aspect is raising public awareness about the importance of biodiversity and how each individual can contribute to preservation efforts. It's crucial for us to act now to ensure these species have a future.

Printed "homes", the speaker says "habitats"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "eliminates the natural habitats". Both words start with the same letter, so listen to the end of the word.

Printed "live", the speaker says "survive"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "harder for them to survive". The words start with different letters, but they end the same, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "help", the speaker says "contribute"

Explanation: The speaker says "can contribute to preservation", not "help". The spoken word is longer and starts with a different letter.

Printed "pivotal", the speaker says "crucial"

Explanation: Listen for "It's crucial for us to act". The two words end the same way, but they start differently, so wait for the whole word.

"deforestation" matches the audio

"biodiversity" matches the audio

Explanation: "importance of biodiversity and how each individual" may look like a trick word. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.
