Correct Transcript:

Preparing for a marathon requires a disciplined and systematic approach. My training regimen includes long-distance runs to build stamina, intervals to boost my pace, and cross-train for overall fitness. Nutrition plays a key role in my preparation, focusing on carbs for energy and proteins for muscle recovery. Hydration is also crucial; I make sure to consume plenty of fluids throughout the day. Lastly, rest is vital for recovery, allowing my muscles to repair and strengthen before the big race.

Printed "needs", the speaker says "requires"

Explanation: You will hear "a marathon requires a". On the page it shows "needs" instead. The words start with different letters, so listen to the start of the word.

Printed "learning", the speaker says "training"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "My training regimen includes". That entry reads "learning" in the text. Both words end the same, so listen to the whole word, not just the ending.

Printed "training", the speaker says "train"

Explanation: Listen again to "and cross-train for overall". You see "training" printed there. Both start with the same letter, so wait for the middle or end to tell them apart.

Printed "all", the speaker says "overall"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "for overall fitness". It is written as "all" on the page. The spoken word is much longer, so listen for extra sounds after the first letter.

Printed "main", the speaker says "key"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "plays a key role". That entry shows "main" in the text. The words start with different letters, so listen to the start of the word.

Printed "prepare", the speaker says "strengthen"

Explanation: The speaker says "repair and strengthen before" not "prepare". It is written as "prepare" on the page. The spoken word is a lot longer, so listen for the longer word.

"marathon" matches the audio

Explanation: "Preparing for a marathon needs a" has a common event name next to the change. The speaker actually says "marathon" exactly, so do not click it.

"carbs" matches the audio

Explanation: In the sentence "focusing on carbs for energy" a short food word looks odd near the edits. The speaker says "carbs" exactly, so do not click it.
