The challenges faced in completing the task

Challenges that I have faced in completing this task was I need to refer to the phonetic
symbols and the sounds all the time. Moreover, sometimes it was confusing to understand
some words and to identify the correct phonetics. It took more time for me to do and I really
did some discussion with my friend before answering it.
