Correct Transcript:

We recently, for example, worked with Price Waterhouse Coopers to develop an economic modelling platform to understand what are the costs of acting or failing to act when it comes to the National Obesity crisis? But challenges still remain, and they're at many levels throughout that web I showed you earlier. They're personal. They're social. They're ideological..political to do with the way we stretch our health systems and our and our economic systems. But the thing that we really have to challenge is the frame of personal responsibility and that's associated with blame and stigmatisation. And we need to shift across to a model of shared responsibility. It's too easy to blame the individual when what we need to be doing is not abdicating individual responsibility, but rather supporting and empowering individuals, families, communities to live healthier lives by offering effective pathways to prevention, treatment and care.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "association", the speaker says "platform"

Explanation: Listen for "an economic modelling platform". The page shows "association", so click that printed word, and listen for a different starting letter.

Printed "reason", the speaker says "crisis"

Explanation: You will hear "National Obesity crisis". On the page it reads "reason", so trust your ears, they start with different letters.

Printed "stuck", the speaker says "stretch"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "we stretch our health". The page shows "stuck", so listen to the whole word because both start with the same letter.

Printed "fall", the speaker says "frame"

Explanation: Listen again to "frame of personal responsibility". You see "fall" on the page, so wait for the whole word before you decide.

Printed "person", the speaker says "individual"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "blame the individual when". The printed word shows "person", and the spoken word is much longer, so follow the sound.

Printed "powering", the speaker says "empowering"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "supporting and empowering individuals". The transcript prints "powering", but both words end the same, so listen to the start of the word.

Printed "cost", the speaker says "care"

Explanation: The speaker says "treatment and care", not "cost". The page shows "cost", so listen to the whole word since both start with the same letter.

"Price" matches the audio

Explanation: "worked with Price Waterhouse Coopers" has a common name that may look odd. The speaker says "Price" exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"Coopers" matches the audio

Explanation: "Price Waterhouse Coopers" may catch your eye as a long name. The speaker reads it exactly as printed, so do not click it.
