Printed "popular", the speaker says "named"
Explanation: The speaker says "is named after Sir", not "popular". Click "popular" on the page. The first letters differ, so listen to the start of the word.
Printed "fifty", the speaker says "seventy"
Explanation: Listen for "seventy percent of the". The page shows "fifty" instead. The words begin with different letters, so listen to the first sound.
Printed "eastern", the speaker says "western"
Explanation: You will hear "its northern and western heartlands". The printed word reads "eastern". Because the first letters differ, focus on the start of that word.
Printed "house", the speaker says "country"
Explanation: On the recording the words are "leave the country". The text has "house". Both words begin differently, so listen from the first sound.
Printed "large", the speaker says "small"
Explanation: Listen again to "a small percentage of those". The transcript shows "large". The first letters are different, so listen to the start.
Printed "living", the speaker says "pay"
Explanation: In the audio you hear "standard of pay maybe". The printed word is "living". The spoken word is much shorter, so listen for a short word.
Printed "know", the speaker says "now"
Explanation: Here the speaker says "English people now who". The page shows "know". The first letters differ, so listen to the start of the word.
Printed "palace", the speaker says "place"
Explanation: The speaker says "desirable place to come", not "palace". The transcript prints "palace". Both begin and end the same, so listen to the middle of the word.
"Sir" matches the audio
Explanation: "is named after Sir David's first cousin" may look odd on the page. The speaker says it exactly, so do not click it.
"Welsh" matches the audio
Explanation: "a Welsh language stronghold" uses a common word. It matches the audio exactly, so do not click it.
