Correct Transcript:

It is not known when human beings first make the crossing from the Asian mainland to the islands of Japan. However, the first human traces reveal a society capable of producing Neolithic wares, but still living by hunting and gathering. This society is known as the German culture from the core design of the pottery, which has similarities with archaeological finds. In Eastern Siberia, it is probable that people make the first crossing to the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido in about 8000 PC either from Sacaline or along the line of the gorilla islands. From about 250 BC, a different Neolithic community is found in Japan. It is known as the AOI culture from the street in Tokyo, where the first traces of it are discovered. These people cultivate tribes and are therefore assumed to have reached Japan from the South along the line of the rural islands.

Printed "aspirations", the speaker says "similarities"

Explanation: You will hear "similarities with archaeological finds". On the page it shows "aspirations" instead, so click that printed word. They start with different letters, so listen from the first sound to catch the right word.

Printed "Saline", the speaker says "Sacaline"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "Sacaline or along". You see "Saline" on the page, but the speaker says a longer place name. Both start with S and end the same, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "state", the speaker says "along"

Explanation: Listen again to "along the line of". The page reads "state", yet the recording has a different short word. They start with different letters, so follow the first sound to decide.

Printed "destroyed", the speaker says "discovered"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "first traces of it are discovered". Both words start with the same letter and end the same, so listen to the middle.

Printed "lane", the speaker says "line"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "line of the rural". On the page it reads "lane", but you hear a different short word. Both start and end the same, so listen to the middle of the word.

"German" matches the audio

Explanation: "This society is known as the German culture" has a familiar name that may look odd here. The speaker actually says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"Hokkaido" matches the audio

Explanation: "northern Japanese island of Hokkaido" contains a place name many students find hard. It matches the audio, so leave it as it is and do not click it.
