Hello,
Last year, I submitted my feedback about the discrepancy between the audio and the transcript, but until now no adjustment has been made. Could you please verify this matter?
Here is a copy of the feedback letter:

A word position differs between the transcript and the audio. In the transcript, the word “still” comes after “would” in line 5 of the paragraph, whereas in the audio, the word “still” comes after “would like to”. Could you please look into the difference?
Here is an excerpted transcript:
Listening Comprehension Transcript
Good morning. We would like to remind you that on Thursday, the County Blood Center van will be in our east parking lot for the company's annual blood donation day. Donations will be taken from 9 a.m. until noon. We are trying to top last year's company record of 46 quarts of blood, to help people in area hospitals who need transfusions. Those who wish to give blood should pick up a form from the human resources department, and fill it out before Thursday. If you plan to donate, please wait until at least two hours after eating, and make sure to drink plenty of water the night before. Donations are limited to employees only; no family members please. If you will be out of the office Thursday morning, but would still like to donate, see your manager to...

Hello,
On June 10, 2011, I gave a feedback about the discrepancies between the audio and the listening transcript, but until now, no corrections have been made. Could you please verify these discrepancies?
Here is the copy of the feedback letter I submitted on June 10, 2011:

________________________________________ Hello,
Two sentences differ between the transcript and the audio. First, the sentence shown in the transcript is “When you get a chance, could you please check it, then call me and leave a good number for him?” instead of “When you get a chance, could you please check it and then call me and leave a good number for him?”, which is recorded in the audio.
Second, the sentence shown in the transcript is “Talk with you soon” instead of “Talk to you soon”, which is recorded in the audio.
Both the sentences are highlighted in the excerpted transcript. Could you please look into these problems?
Here is an excerpt from the transcript:
Listening Comprehension Transcript
Hi Trudy, this is Joy. I tried to call Felix, but it said that his number was disconnected. Maybe I copied it down wrong. When you get a chance, could you please check it, then call me and leave a good number for him? Thanks. Also, I reached Mr. Latimer, and he said to go ahead and order a dozen boxes of the…my cell: 555-844-9122. Let me know which days are good for you. And if you could get me that number for Felix as soon as possible, I'd appreciate it. Thanks Trudy. Talk with you soon. Bye.

The transcript is correct, I don't see what exactly you want me to change.

I listened to the audio again the day before yesterday and today and found the discrepancy remained unchanged. I am sorry to say that I do not know which sentence is more appropriate—the one (When you get a chance, could you please check it and then call me and leave a good number for him?) that was recorded by the audio or the one (When you get a chance, could you please check it, then call me and leave a good number for him?) that was shown by the transcript
If I were you, I would consult the experts, especially the grammarians.
Thank you.
Happy New Year!

Hi Torsten, I see more or less what this course is about. Some student can write very well, so it's a great thing for all of us or I should say, for me. Some expressions that I read I frankly don't used them, but it's good to have a long vocabulary, and express ourselves in a way that it makes me feel much better. For example (sorry about my spelling) I read some one who said. Yes indeed, this is very British English expression that not to many American used, but it sound beautiful. So this course could be good for me, just reading. To bad that my speaker it's not working properly, so I can't hear, but reading it help a lot. Have a nice day!

Hello,
There is a discrepancy between the audio and the listening transcript of TOEIC listening part II, set 16, exercise 1. According to the audio, the recorded question is “How is your new project coming along?”, but the listening transcript shows that a word has been omitted—“How is your project coming along?”. Could you please verify this matter?
Here is an excerpt from the listening transcript of TOEIC listening part II, set 16, exercise 1:
2). How is your project coming along? It came yesterday. Fine thanks, and you? I'm struggling with it. -- CORRECT
