Correct Transcript:

In April, climbing season for Mount Everest opened after 2 years of disaster shutter in the mountain earlier than usual. In that time, there have already been 4 confirmed deaths, 2 more climbers are missing and are unlikely to be found. Experts say one worker died while fixing a route near the summit. The other 3 deaths were climbers. All suspected of having altitude sickness. In 2014, Everest expeditions almost completely halted following the deaths of 16 Nepali mountain workers in an avalanche and subsequent protests for improved work conditions. Then, in April 2015, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake and avalanche caused nearly 8500 deaths in Nepal. And resulted in 19 fatalities at Mount Everest Base Camp, leading to the cancellation of the climbing season, a choice made on the Tibet side by the Chinese government and by individual teams on the Nepal side.

Printed "giving", the speaker says "missing"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "2 more climbers are missing". They start with different letters, but both end the same way.

Printed "far", the speaker says "near"

Explanation: Listen again to "route near the summit". The first letter is different, and the printed word ends the same way.

Printed "Was", the speaker says "All"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "All suspected of having". The printed word does not make sense here.

Printed "compelled", the speaker says "completely"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "almost completely halted". Both words start with the same letter, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "latest", the speaker says "subsequent"

Explanation: The speaker says "subsequent protests for improved", not "latest". The meanings are close, so trust your ears, not the page.

Printed "taking", the speaker says "leading"

Explanation: Listen for "leading to the cancellation". They start with different letters, though both end the same way.

Printed "for", the speaker says "by"

Explanation: You will hear "by individual teams on". The first letters differ, so listen for the short word.

"Everest" matches the audio

Explanation: "for Mount Everest opened" has a place name. The speaker says it exactly, so do not click it.

"Nepal" matches the audio

Explanation: "caused nearly 8500 deaths in Nepal" has a place name you might doubt. The speaker says it exactly. Do not click it.
