Correct Transcript:

Last Saturday, I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a book signing event for my latest novel. The atmosphere was lively, filled with avid readers excited to discuss the characters and plot twists. One particular interaction stood out; a young reader asked me about the inspiration behind the protagonist's journey. I was moved by the depth of their understanding and their thoughtful questions. It's moments like these that truly highlight the connection between an author and their audience. Additionally, the support from the bookstore staff was incredible, making the entire event feel very welcoming and special.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "incredible", the speaker says "wonderful"

Explanation: You will hear "had the wonderful opportunity". "incredible" is on the page, but it starts with a different letter, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "electric", the speaker says "lively"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "The atmosphere was lively". Printed as "electric", it begins with another letter and is longer, so trust the sound.

Printed "eager", the speaker says "avid"

Explanation: Listen again to "filled with avid readers". The page shows "eager", which starts with a different letter, so wait for the full word to match.

Printed "touched", the speaker says "moved"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "I was moved by". The page shows "touched" and it ends the same two letters, so check the beginning sound.

Printed "insightful", the speaker says "thoughtful"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "their thoughtful questions". Both words end the same two letters. The meanings are close, so follow your ears.

Printed "remarkable", the speaker says "incredible"

Explanation: The speaker says "the support from the bookstore staff was incredible", not "remarkable". Both words end the same two letters, so listen to the first sound.

Printed "organised", the speaker says "welcoming"

Explanation: Listen for "feel very welcoming and special". The printed word "organised" starts with a different letter, so listen to the whole word.

"novel" matches the audio

Explanation: "attend a book signing event for my latest novel" may look normal but seem uncommon. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"protagonist's" matches the audio

Explanation: "inspiration behind the protagonist's journey" looks long and tricky. The speaker says this word exactly, so do not click it.
