Printed "sports", the speaker says "sport"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "passion for sport". Both words start with the same letter, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "deal", the speaker says "focus"

Explanation: Listen again to "We also focus on". The printed word starts with a different letter, so the sound will be different.

Printed "galas", the speaker says "event"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "promote the event on". The two words begin with different letters, so follow the sound not the meaning.

Printed "increase", the speaker says "rise"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "a significant rise in". They end with the same two letters, so listen to the start of the word.

Printed "enhancing", the speaker says "ensuring"
