I've tried to write the transcript as exactly as I've got it, and here it is:
ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
It turns out that more than 10% of people, about 10% are left-handed, if both parents are right-handed, there's about 2% chance that your child is going to be lefty, if one parent is left-handed, it's about 17%... and both parents are lefties, there's about 50% chance your child is also going to be left-handed,.. With guys have been twice as often left-handed as girls,.. So how you tell what your child is going to be, When your baby is about 6 months of age, he or she may srtrive to reach with their right hand, but very quickly will bring out their left hand, and it's not until a baby or a toddler is 2 years of age, they can really determine their hand preference..

It turns out more than 10% of people, about 10% are left handed. If both parents are right handed, it is about 2% chance (that) your child is going to be lefty, if one parent is left handed, it is about 17%, and if both parents are lefties, it is about 50% chance (that) your child is also going to be left handed with guys being twice often left handed than girls.
So how do you tell what your child is going to be. When your baby is about 6 months age, he or she may start to reach with their right hand, but very quickly bring out their left hand.
It is not until baby or toddler is two years age that we can really determine (the) hand preference.

Dear students:
I just found this website. It is useful for those who want to get used to Australian accent which is more difficult than american and british accent (in my view) and sometimes australian accents appear in IELTS tests:

Transcripts are also available.

Hi Simon,
Could you please help to advise if there is any difference of a singular answer and a plural answer in listening part?
In Cambridge 7, test 4, listening test, question 19. The answer is biology lesson; however, the scripts show "biology lessons" with plural form. If my answer is "biology lessons, will this answer be correct? I usually get problems with this kind of question, could you please help how to deal with it?
Thank you :)

It turns out that more than 10% of people, about 10%, are left-handed. If both parents are right-handed (this)'s about a 2% chance your child is going to be a lefty. If one parent is left-handed it is about 17%. And if both parents are lefties it's about a 50% chance your child is also going to be left-handed.
With guys being twice as often left-handed as girls.
So how do you tell what your child is going to be? When your baby is about 6 months of age he or she may start to reach with the right hand, but very quickly will bring out their left hand. And it is not until a baby or toddler is 2 years of age (that) we can really determine hand preference.
