Correct answer: appreciate
Explanation: The speaker says "often appreciate the greater flexibility". The plain word is appreciate, watch the double p and ea.
Meaning: "appreciate" means feel thankful for something.
Wrong options:
- apreciate: It leaves out the "p". Write "appreciate". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
- appreciated: "appreciated" has an extra "d" at the end. The speaker says "appreciate".
Correct answer: procrastinate
Explanation: You hear "easier to procrastinate without the". The word is procrastinate, watch the c and st sequence.
Meaning: "procrastinate" means delay doing tasks until later.
Wrong options:
- procastinate: It leaves out the "r". Write "procrastinate". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
- procrastinating: "procrastinating" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "procrastinate", which ends in "e".
Correct answer: navigating
Explanation: Listen for "comfortable navigating the Internet". The word ends in ing, do not drop the ing.
Meaning: "navigating" means moving around and using the web.
Wrong options:
- navegating: It has "e" where the word has "i". The right spelling is "navigating". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
- navigation: "navigation" is a close word, but it ends in "on". The speaker says "navigating", which ends in "ng".
Correct answer: institutions
Explanation: On the recording you hear "Most distance-learning institutions are aware". The sentence needs more than one organisation, do not forget the second i.
Meaning: "institutions" means organisations like universities or colleges.
Wrong options:
- instutions: It leaves out the "ti". The right spelling is "institutions". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
- institution: "institution" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "institutions", so write the "s".
Correct answer: helping
Explanation: Listen again to "provide programmes that teach good study habits and computing skills, helping learners". The word ends in ing, so write the ing at the end.
Meaning: "helping" means giving support so students feel confident.
Wrong options:
- hepling: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "helping". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
- help: "help" is missing the ending. The speaker says "helping", with "ing" at the end.
