Correct Transcript:

Good morning, everyone! Today, I'm thrilled to walk you through the process of organising our annual book donation drive. First off, we start by advertising the event across various platforms, including social media, our library's website, and local newspapers. This ensures that we cast a wide net to gather as many books as possible. Next, we arrange for volunteers to sort out the donations by genre, age group, and condition. It's vital that we provide a variety of books to cater to all readers. Once everything is sorted, we collaborate with local schools and community centres to distribute the books. Our aim is to promote reading and share the joy of books with everyone in our community.

Printed "day", the speaker says "morning"

Explanation: You will hear "Good morning, everyone". The printed word is "day", so click "day". They start with different letters and the spoken word is much longer.

Printed "excited", the speaker says "thrilled"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "I'm thrilled to". The page shows "excited", so click "excited". Both words end the same way but begin with different letters.

Printed "through", the speaker says "across"

Explanation: Listen again to "advertising the event across". Tap "through" on the page, the first letters differ so listen to the whole word.

Printed "narrow", the speaker says "wide"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "cast a wide net". Select "narrow" because the spoken word is much shorter than the printed word.

Printed "merged", the speaker says "collaborate"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "we collaborate with". Click "merged". The spoken word is much longer and they start with different letters.

Printed "give", the speaker says "share"

Explanation: The speaker says "share the joy", not "give". Choose "give" on the page, the words begin with different letters and end differently.

"organising" matches the audio

Explanation: "process of organising our" looks longer on the page. The speaker says it exactly, so do not click it.

"volunteers" matches the audio

Explanation: "arrange for volunteers to sort" may catch your eye as tricky. It matches the audio exactly, so do not click it.
