Correct Transcript:

The majority of our patients at the clinic tend to be women. They are especially vulnerable because of pregnancy but also because of osteoporosis, which I personally believe to be the major cause of problems for women. I have many women patients who say they have completely given up exercise because the pain makes them so miserable. But of course that starts up a vicious circle. Bed rest, giving up exercise and pain killers are traditional responses to back pain but, although there are many excellent drugs on the market, at our clinic we are beginning to realize the unique benefits of relaxation therapy.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "men", the speaker says "women"

Explanation: The speaker says "tend to be women", not "men". They start with different letters, so listen to the start of the word.

Printed "really", the speaker says "personally"

Explanation: Listen for "I personally believe". The two words do not start the same, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "irritable", the speaker says "miserable"

Explanation: You will hear "makes them so miserable". The first letters are different, so follow the whole word, not the meaning.

Printed "actual", the speaker says "traditional"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "are traditional responses". They begin with different letters, so listen to the start carefully.

Printed "medicines", the speaker says "drugs"

Explanation: Listen again to "excellent drugs on the". The printed word ends differently, and the speaker uses a much shorter word.

"relaxation" matches the audio

Explanation: "relaxation therapy" appears near the end. It looks long and odd, but the speaker says it exactly, so do not click it.

"back" matches the audio

Explanation: "back pain" is printed in the middle. It may seem like a trick, but the speaker says it as written, so do not click it.
