A non-governmental organization (NGO) is an organization that is being a part of a government neither a conventional for-profit business. Usually set up by ordinary citizens, NGOs may be funded by governments, foundations, businesses, or private persons. Some avoid from funding altogether and are run primarily by volunteers. NGOs are highly diverse groups of organizations engaged in a wide range of activities, and take different forms in different parts of the world. Some may have charitable status, while others may be registered for tax exemption based on recognition of social purposes. Others may be fronts for political, religious, or other interests. The number of NGOs in the United States is estimated at 1.5 million.

Printed "nor", the speaker says "being"

Explanation: You will hear "that is being a". Click "nor" here, it is the printed word. They start with different letters, and the spoken word is longer.

Printed "official", the speaker says "from"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "avoid from funding". So "official" appears in the text. They start with different letters, and the spoken word is much shorter.

Printed "tasks", the speaker says "activities"

Explanation: Listen again to "range of activities". The printed word "tasks" is shown on the page. The spoken word is much longer, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "changing", the speaker says "charitable"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "have charitable status". The printed word "changing" is on the page. Both words start with c, so listen to the whole word.

"foundations" matches the audio
