Correct Transcript:

Okay. Well, I've read a great deal about him. He was born on October 31, 1795 to Thomas and Frances Jennings Keats in London, England. His father was a keeper in a livery stable and unfortunately was killed when a horse crushed him when John was eight years old. This tragic accident left a deep impact on the delicate mind of John and through this he developed an understanding for the human condition as well as of suffering and loss. This is where the beauty in his poetry can be found because it speaks of the beauty and grandeur of human experience.

Printed "December", the speaker says "October"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "born on October 31". They start with different first letters, so listen to the first letter to tell them apart.

Printed "living", the speaker says "livery"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "a livery stable". They both start with l, so listen to the whole word to catch the end.

Printed "incident", the speaker says "accident"

Explanation: The speaker says "This tragic accident left", not "incident". They end with the same letters, so check the first letter to decide.

Printed "derived", the speaker says "developed"

Explanation: Listen for "he developed an understanding". The first letter is the same and they end the same way, so wait for the full word.

Printed "why", the speaker says "where"

Explanation: You will hear "This is where the beauty". Both words start with the same letter, but they end differently, so follow the full word you hear.

Printed "poetic", the speaker says "human"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "grandeur of human experience". The meanings are different, so trust the audio, not the printed word.

"Frances" matches the audio

Explanation: "Thomas and Frances Jennings Keats" has a name that looks uncommon. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"delicate" matches the audio

Explanation: "the delicate mind of John" has a softer describing word that might seem odd. It matches the audio, so do not click it.
