Correct Transcript:

Good morning, class! Today, we'll delve into the fascinating process of photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight into energy. Essentially, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil, using sunlight captured by their leaves. The sunlight activates chlorophyll, a pigment that gives plants their green colour, to produce glucose and oxygen. Glucose serves as essential nourishment for the plant, while oxygen is released back into the atmosphere as a byproduct. This process not only sustains the plant but also replenishes the earth's oxygen supply, making it crucial for life on our planet.

Printed "all", the speaker says "plants"

Explanation: The speaker says "Essentially, plants take in", not "all". Printed shows "all", and it starts with a different letter, so listen to the first sound.

Printed "process", the speaker says "sunlight"

Explanation: Listen for "using sunlight captured by". Printed shows "process", which does not make sense here, so follow the audio.

Printed "gives", the speaker says "serves"

Explanation: You will hear "Glucose serves as essential". Printed shows "gives". Both words end with "es", so listen to the start.
