Meaning: "adapted" means changed so it works better for something.

Wrong options:

• adapated: It adds an extra "a". The right spelling is "adapted". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• adapt: "adapt" is missing the ending. The speaker says "adapted", with "ed" at the end.

Correct answer: slightly

Explanation: You hear "view slightly blurred images". It tells how much, so the word ends in ly.

Meaning: "slightly" means a little or not very much.

Wrong options:

• sligtly: It leaves out the "h". Check the letters: "slightly". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• slight: "slight" is missing the ending. The speaker says "slightly", with "ly" at the end.

Correct answer: exceptional

Explanation: Listen for "have exceptional binocular vision". It comes before "binocular", so you need a strong describing word.

Meaning: "exceptional" means much better than usual.

Wrong options:

• exeptional: It leaves out the "c". The right spelling is "exceptional". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• exceptionally: "exceptionally" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "exceptional".

Correct answer: front

Explanation: On the recording you hear "in the front of". It follows "in the", so you need a simple place word.

Meaning: "front" means the part that is forward or at the head.

Wrong options:

• frunt: It has "u" where the word has "o". The right spelling is "front". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• fronts: "fronts" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "front", with no "s".

Correct answer: downwards

Explanation: Listen again to "flying downwards to catch". It shows direction, and the word ends in s.

Meaning: "downwards" means moving towards the ground.

Wrong options:

• downwads: It leaves out the "r". The right spelling is "downwards". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• downward: "downward" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "downwards", so write the "s".
