Correct Transcript:

It's common folk wisdom that eating cheese can give you nightmares. But is this really the case? Our brains are directed by a range of hormones, which influence how we think and behave. Cheese contains an amino acid called tryptophan that, when preserved, can be processed into serotonin, an essential hormone for sleepiness. So there is a connection between cheese-eating and sleep. And there is some research to indicate that eating different types of cheese may influence the content of your dreams.

Printed "controlled", the speaker says "directed"

Explanation: Listen again to "directed by a range". Select "controlled" on the page, they start with different letters so listen to the whole word.

Printed "conserved", the speaker says "preserved"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "preserved can be processed". Click "conserved" on the page, the first letters differ and both end the same so follow the audio.

Printed "relation", the speaker says "connection"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "a connection between cheese". Mark "relation" on the page, they start with different letters but end the same so trust the sound.

Printed "suggest", the speaker says "indicate"

Explanation: The speaker says "to indicate that eating", not "suggest". Choose "suggest" on the page, the words begin and end differently so listen carefully.

Printed "construct", the speaker says "content"

Explanation: Listen for "influence the content of". Click "construct" on the page. Both words start with the same letter, so listen to the ending.

"folk" matches the audio
