Instructions ›
You will hear a recording. Type the missing words in each blank.
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
If    your    organization    has    errors    in    its      statements,    the    accounting    computer    network    and    not    the    employees,    is    usually    more    to    blame.    The    errors    are    only    a    symptom    of    that    issue.    Consulting    companies    can    advise    you    on    which    accounting    to    purchase.    These    computers    are    able    to    process    enormous    amount    of    information,    and    are    connected    to    a    main    network.    Further,    they    generally    have    operation    that    are    easy    to    follow.    Consulting    companies    can    provide    advice    on    utilizing    these    computers    and    facilitate    staff    to    the    work    efficiency.

Correct answer: financial

Explanation: Listen again to "errors in its financial statements". The word after "its" is a word for a thing about money, so spell financial carefully.

Meaning: "financial" means about money and accounts.

Wrong options:

  • finanical: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "financial". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • finance: "finance" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "financial", which ends in "ial".
Correct answer: primary

Explanation: Here you hear "symptom of that primary issue". The word before "issue" is a describing word, so use primary exactly.

Meaning: "primary" means the main or first important one.

Wrong options:

  • primery: It has "e" where the word has "a". Check the letters: "primary". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • principal: This sounds similar but is a different word with another meaning.
Correct answer: computers

Explanation: The speaker says "advise you on which accounting computers to purchase". The missing word is the thing you buy, and the sentence needs more than one, so add s.

Meaning: "computers" means electronic machines for processing data.

Wrong options:

  • comuters: It leaves out the "p". Write "computers". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • computer: "computer" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "computers", so write the "s".
Correct answer: instructions

Explanation: You hear "they generally have operation instructions that are easy". The word after operation is a thing you follow, so use instructions with s.

Meaning: "instructions" means steps or guidelines to follow.

Wrong options:

  • instuctions: It leaves out the "r". The right spelling is "instructions". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • instruction: "instruction" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "instructions", so write the "s".
Correct answer: increase

Explanation: Listen for "facilitate staff to increase the work efficiency". The word before "the" is an action word that means become bigger, so use increase.

Meaning: "increase" means to make bigger or improve amount or level.

Wrong options:

  • increse: It leaves out the "a". The right spelling is "increase". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
