* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
Yes,  well  Lisa,  well  I'm  still  trying  to  get  my  head  around  the  choice  of  Electives  for  the  optional  part  of  the  third  year  program.  I  was  thinking  of  taking    taxation  law,  and  company  tax,  together  with  the  extra  five-credit-point  course  on  goods  and  services  and  VAT  type  taxes,  but  I'm  a  bit    that  I'm  going  to  pigeon-hole  myself  too  early  in  the  course.  As  you  know  there  are  going  to  be  interviews  for  summer  clerkships  coming  up  and  I  really  don't  want  to  come  across  as  too  focused  on  certain  areas  that  a  lot  of  firms  don't  even  do,  you  know,  have  a  practice  in?  Well,  don't  forget,  um,  only  about  25%  of  the  course  at  this  stage  is  elective-based  and  you'll  still  have  that  core  of  subjects  —  crim,  legal  institutions,  ,  property  law,  general  commercial  and  fed-con  law  all  of  which  would  be  of  interest  to  a  lot  of  firms,  so  if  I  were  you,  which  I'm  not,  I'd  really  just  go  with  what  my  interests  are.

Correct answer: personal

Explanation: Listen for "taking personal taxation law". It comes after "taking", so you need a word for a field of study.

Meaning: "personal" means about individual people, not companies.

Wrong options:

  • personel: It has "e" where the word has "a". Check the letters: "personal". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • personnel: "personnel" is a close word, but it ends in "nel". The speaker says "personal", which ends in "al".
Correct answer: concerned

Explanation: On the recording you hear "a bit concerned that I'm". The sentence needs a feeling word that ends in ed.

Meaning: "concerned" means worried or uneasy.

Wrong options:

  • concernend: It adds an extra "n". Check the letters: "concerned". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • concern: "concern" is missing the ending. The speaker says "concerned", with "ed" at the end.
Correct answer: evidence

Explanation: Listen again to "legal institutions, evidence, property law". It comes after a list of subjects, so you need a word for a subject or thing.

Meaning: "evidence" means proof used in law or court cases.

Wrong options:

  • evidance: It has "a" where the word has "e". Write "evidence". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • evident: "evident" is a close word, but it ends in "t". The speaker says "evidence", which ends in "ce".
