Printed "highlights", the speaker says "provides"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "This course provides students". The printed word "highlights" is on the page. They start with different letters, so listen from the first letter and trust the audio.

Printed "national", the speaker says "international"

Explanation: Listen again to "politics and international relations". The printed word "national" appears instead. Both end with the same letters, so listen to the whole word to know which one you hear.

Printed "people", the speaker says "public"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "governance, public policy". Both words start with the same letter, so wait for the rest of the word before you click.

Printed "shows", the speaker says "ensure"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "border control ensure that". They begin with different letters, so listen to the first sound carefully.

Printed "problems", the speaker says "issues"

Explanation: The speaker says "range of issues are", not "problems". The words start with different letters, so trust the first sound to tell them apart.

Printed "course", the speaker says "security"

Explanation: Listen for "national security studies". It makes no sense there, so click "course" on the page.

"political" matches the audio

Explanation: "political communication" looks long and similar, so it may catch your eye. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"compulsory" matches the audio

Explanation: "four compulsory units" has an uncommon word that seems tricky. It matches the audio exactly, so do not click it.
