Can I just say the the other main cause of neck and back pain is sitting like this. So, you don't really have to be using a phone, you just have to be sitting the way people normally sit. So, the thing that I tell my patients all the time is if instead of sitting like this, all you have to do to not sit like that is tuck your feet up under you, you're automatically and you guys can try this right now. Perfect position neck back. Perfect position helps your stomach muscles as well. I'm actually developing a little pad with some people in the engineering school that will shock you if you put your feet down. But if you sit like this all day long, you actually can't slouch, and you can't get neck and back pain if you try to slouch with your feet up, you'll actually fall into your computer screen. So, try that. But in fact, it's not only good for your neck and back, it prevents rotator cuff disease, terrific kyphosis. So, it's good for what ails you. So, just tuck your feet up and you're done. Good advice.

Explanation: In the audio you hear "using a phone". Both words end the same, so listen to the first letter and the whole word.

Printed "tassle", the speaker says "tuck"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "tuck your feet up". The printed and spoken words start with the same letter, so wait for the rest of the word.

Printed "place", the speaker says "position"

Explanation: The speaker says "Perfect position neck back", not "place". The spoken word is much longer than the printed word, so listen for the extra sounds.

Explanation: Listen for "engineering school". The two words begin with different letters, so listen to the first sound to tell them apart.

Printed "couch", the speaker says "slouch"

Explanation: You will hear "can't slouch", not "couch". The words end the same, so hear the first letter to tell which one it is.

Printed "centre", the speaker says "computer"
