Correct Transcript:

The brush has three parts — head, bristles and the handle. In this technique one has to hold the brush in such a way that the bristles form a 45 ° angle with the surface of teeth. The brush has to be moved in a vertical direction rather than in horizontal direction. You should take special care while cleaning the inner surfaces or the lingual surfaces of teeth. They have to be cleaned in the same way. The occlusal or upper surfaces of teeth have to be cleaned too. Place your brush on the occlusal surface and move it backward and forward.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "stick", the speaker says "handle"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "head, bristles and the handle". The printed and spoken words start with different letters, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "angle", the speaker says "surface"

Explanation: Listen again to "45 ° angle with the surface". The two words start with different letters, so wait for the full word you hear.

Printed "main", the speaker says "vertical"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "moved in a vertical direction". The spoken word is much longer than the printed one, so listen for a longer word.

Printed "outer", the speaker says "inner"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "cleaning the inner surfaces". They start with different letters, but both end with the same two letters, so hear the whole word.

Printed "closed", the speaker says "cleaned"

Explanation: The speaker says "surfaces of teeth have to be cleaned", not "closed". Both words start with the same letter and end the same way, so listen carefully.

Printed "run", the speaker says "move"

Explanation: Listen for "move it backward and forward". The printed word is short, but the speaker uses a longer action word, so trust your ears.

"bristles" matches the audio

Explanation: "head, bristles and the stick" may draw your eye because it sits next to a changed word. It is said exactly as printed in the audio, so do not click it.

"occlusal" matches the audio

Explanation: "Place your brush on the occlusal surface" has a rare word that looks tricky. The speaker says it exactly as shown, so do not click it.
