Just noticed a small English error in the text- "you haven't pump air" should obviously be "you haven't pumped air."

just consulted two online dictionaries and they both say 迹 is in the fourth tone.  Looks like the text is wrong.

During in the audio for this lesson, Jenny pronounces 迹 (名胜古迹) in the fourth tone, but in the text, it is in the first tone.  Are my ears deceiving me?  Which one is correct?

thanks!

There seems to be a discrepancy between the text and the audio for " 好莱坞".  In the text, "坞" is in the 4th tone but Jenny seems to pronounce it in the 1st.  I wonder if there is a fair bit of flexibility for transliterated words...
