The  man  doesn’t  agree  with  the  policy  on  pets.  The  policy  states  that  no  pets  are  allowed  on  campus,  except  for  animals  to  help    people.  The  woman  tells  him  that  the  president  changed  the  policy  because  he  found  a  pet  snake  in  his  office,  but  the  man  thinks  that  the  president  is    too  strongly,  and  that  it’s  not  fair  to  punish  everyone.  The  man  also  says  that  people  from  the  neighborhood  walk  their  dogs  on  campus.  According  to  the  ,  animals  aren’t  going  to  be  allowed  on  campus  for    reasons,  but  the  man  disagrees  and  says  that  the  dogs  are  safe  because  people    them.  Finally,  the  man  believes  that  if  people  can’t  walk  their  dogs,  there  will  be  less  friendly    between  students  on  campus  and  the  people  in  the  neighborhood.

Correct answer: disabled

Explanation: Here you hear "help disabled people". The word comes after "help", so you need a word for a kind of people.

Meaning: "disabled" means people with a long-term health problem that limits activities.

Wrong options:

  • disbled: It leaves out the "a". The right spelling is "disabled". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • disableds: "disableds" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "disabled", with no "s".
Correct answer: reacting

Explanation: The speaker says "president is reacting too strongly". You need an action word that shows he is acting now, so it ends in ing.

Meaning: "reacting" means showing a strong response or emotion now.

Wrong options:

  • reacted: "reacted" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "reacting", which ends in "ing".
Correct answer: notice

Explanation: You hear "According to the notice". It comes after "According to the", so you need a word for a written message or announcement.

Meaning: "notice" means a short written message that gives information to people.

Wrong options:

  • notic: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "notice". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: safety

Explanation: Listen for "on campus for safety reasons". The sentence needs a word about protection, not a person or time.

Meaning: "safety" means protection from danger or harm.

Wrong options:

  • saftey: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "safety". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: control

Explanation: On the recording you hear "people control them". After "people" the sentence needs an action word meaning manage, so no extra letters.

Meaning: "control" means to keep animals managed and under watch.

Correct answer: interaction

Explanation: Listen again to "less friendly interaction between students". The sentence needs a word for social contact, not a long relationship.

Meaning: "interaction" means meetings and talking between people.

Wrong options:

  • interacion: It leaves out the "t". Write "interaction". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
