Correct Transcript:

Exercise is a solid means of improving motor skills, fitness and to gain bone strength and joint function. Exercise has positive effects upon muscles; it stimulates the muscles. Aerobic exercises involve low levels of exertion in which the muscles are used at will below their maximal contraction strength for long periods. Aerobic exercises consume a mixture of fat, protein, and carbohydrates for energy, along with oxygen in a large measure. They involve short bursts of higher intensity contractions and the body gains much strength. Skeletal muscle can carry more oxygen and sustain aerobic activity.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "straight", the speaker says "strength"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "bone strength and". The printed word "straight" is on the page. Both words start with the same letter, so listen to the whole word because the ends are different.

Printed "shapes", the speaker says "stimulates"

Explanation: Listen again to "it stimulates the". You see "shapes" written in the text. The endings match, so the words begin the same. Follow your ears, not the meaning.

Printed "areas", the speaker says "periods"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "long periods." The page shows "areas" in that spot. The words start with different letters, so listen to the first sound to tell them apart.

Printed "include", the speaker says "involve"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "They involve short". On the page it says "include" instead. The first letter is the same, so wait for the whole word to hear the difference.

Printed "lower", the speaker says "higher"

Explanation: The speaker says "higher intensity contractions", not "lower". That word is printed as "lower" in the transcript. The words begin with different letters, so listen to the start to catch the change.

Printed "submit", the speaker says "sustain"

Explanation: Listen for "sustain aerobic activity." The printed word "submit" appears in the transcript. Both start with the same letter, so hear the whole word as the ends are different.

"fitness" matches the audio

Explanation: "motor skills, fitness and" has a common word that looks like a possible trick. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"oxygen" matches the audio

Explanation: "along with oxygen in a large measure" may seem odd, but it matches the audio. The speaker pronounces it as printed, so do not click it.
