Correct Transcript:

Humans are one of the reasons that the snow leopard is in danger of evolution. Farmers have pushed further into the leopard's habitat and their livestock are overgrazing, which in turn damages the grasslands. The number of wild sheep and goats that feed on the grasslands has drops and, because these are the main prey of the leopard, it has no choice but to kill the domestic livestock for its survival. The farmer, on finding that his animals have been killed by a leopard, often retaliates by killing it. Another incentive for hunting down the leopard is that the farmer can sell the animal for its valuable body parts.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "extinction", the speaker says "evolution"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "in danger of evolution". The printed word "extinction" is on the page. Both words start with the same letter, so listen for the whole word.

Printed "deeper", the speaker says "further"

Explanation: The speaker says "pushed further into", not "deeper". These two words start with different letters, so listen from the first sound.

Printed "fallen", the speaker says "drops"

Explanation: Listen for "has drops and". The text shows "fallen" here. The words begin with different letters and end differently, so follow the sound.

Printed "option", the speaker says "choice"

Explanation: You will hear "no choice but to". The page shows "option" instead. The first letters differ, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "slaughtered", the speaker says "killed"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "have been killed by". The page has a longer word, so the printed form looks much longer than what you hear.

Printed "lucrative", the speaker says "valuable"

Explanation: Listen again to "valuable body parts". The text uses a different word, but the meanings are close, so trust your ears not the meaning.

"grasslands" matches the audio

Explanation: "damages the grasslands." Grasslands is a common word here. The speaker says it exactly, so do not click it.

"farmer" matches the audio

Explanation: "The farmer, on finding" looks near changed words and may seem tricky. The speaker says "farmer" exactly, so do not click it.
