Correct Transcript:

Cash is quickly becoming a thing of the past it seems, even for small transactions that once we wouldn't have dreams of paying for by card. And the trends shows no sign of slowing down as banks make it easier and easier to make small payments without carrying money. Not only can you now use your chip card without punching in your pin for amounts under £30, but a number of mobile phone giants are getting in on the act with apps that allow you to pay for things with your phone.

Printed "payments", the speaker says "transactions"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "even for small transactions that". You see "payments" in the text, so click that printed word.

Printed "thought", the speaker says "dreams"

Explanation: Listen again to "we wouldn't have dreams of". The first letters differ, so listen to the whole word you hear.

Printed "tendency", the speaker says "trends"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "the trends shows no sign". The page shows "tendency", so click the printed word here.

Printed "cash", the speaker says "money"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "without carrying money." The printed word 'cash' is on the page, so click it.

Printed "keying", the speaker says "punching"

Explanation: The speaker says "without punching in your pin", not "keying". Both words end the same two letters, so focus on the start to tell them apart.

Printed "smart", the speaker says "mobile"

Explanation: Listen for "a number of mobile phone". The printed word "smart" is on the page, so click that printed word.

"chip" matches the audio

Explanation: "use your chip card". This looks like a possible trick, but the speaker actually says it, so do not click it.

"pin" matches the audio

Explanation: "in your pin for amounts". That short word may seem wrong, but it is spoken exactly as printed, so do not click it.
