Correct Transcript:

Before you go, I'd like to remind you that we're organizing a study group for Thursday evening. The main frust of it will be the upcoming exam, of course, but it may be an opportune time to discuss the ongoing assessments and air any concerns you may be having with them. If you could add your name to the list on your way out then we can ensure that we're able to accommodate you all. There will be some refreshment laid on but feel free to bring along something of your own. Oh, and don't forget I want a summary of Chapters 6 and 7 ready for the next session.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "focus", the speaker says "frust"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "The main frust of". You see "focus" on the page, it starts with the same letter so listen to the whole word.

Printed "appropriate", the speaker says "opportune"

Explanation: Listen again to "may be an opportune time". It shows "appropriate" in print, but the first letters differ so trust your ears.

Printed "express", the speaker says "air"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "to discuss the ongoing air". On the page it reads "express", which is much longer than what you hear.

Printed "establish", the speaker says "ensure"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "then we can ensure that". Printed here is "establish", yet both words share the first letter so wait for the whole word.

Printed "snacks", the speaker says "refreshment"

Explanation: The speaker says "There will be some refreshment laid", not "snacks". The page has "snacks", and that starts with a different letter from the spoken word.

Printed "precis", the speaker says "summary"

Explanation: Listen for "I want a summary of". You have "precis" on the page, so follow the spoken word not the written one.

"Thursday" matches the audio

Explanation: "study group for Thursday evening" has a day name you may not expect. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"accommodate" matches the audio

Explanation: "we're able to accommodate you all" has a long word next to a changed word. It looks tricky, but the speaker says it exactly, so do not click it.
