Well, I'm absolutely delighted first of all to have been to this professorship. The role is going to be about public engagement in science, it is about marketing science to as wide an audience as possible, it's about making it easier for our here at the University of Birmingham to talk about their research to the general public and it's not just about a one-way flow of information, it very much is about dialogue.

Correct answer: appointed
Explanation: Here you hear "have been appointed to this". It shows you were chosen for the job.
Meaning: "appointed" means chosen for the job.
Wrong options:
- apponted: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "appointed". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
- appoint: "appoint" is missing the ending. The speaker says "appointed", with "ed" at the end.
Correct answer: accessible
Explanation: The speaker says "marketing science accessible to as". You need a describing word that ends in ible.
Meaning: "accessible" means easy for many people to understand or reach.
Wrong options:
- accessable: It has "a" where the word has "i". The right spelling is "accessible". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
- accessibility: "accessibility" is a close word, but it ends in "ility". The speaker says "accessible", which ends in "le".
Correct answer: academics
Explanation: You hear "for our academics here at the". It comes after "our", so you need more than one and ends in s.
Meaning: "academics" means the teachers and researchers at the university.
Wrong options:
- acadamics: It has "a" where the word has "e". Write "academics". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
- academic: "academic" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "academics", so write the "s".
