I'm    pretty    in    my    tastes,    actually.    You    know,    where    I    was    brought    up    in    Liguria,    In    Italy,    we    have    food    all    around    us    –    seafood,    herbs,    wild    mushrooms,    olive    oil.    When    you're    used    to    eating    these    kinds    of    fresh  ,    it's    not    necessary    to    experiment    with    food    so    much.    It's    not    about    playing    safe    you    know;    it's    just    why    would    you    try    to    eat    differently    when    you    already    have      traditional    cooking    made    with    good      Ingredients?    It    makes    no    sense.

Correct answer: conservative

Explanation: Listen again to "I'm pretty conservative in my tastes". You need a describing word for not liking change.

Meaning: "conservative" means not liking change.

Wrong options:

  • consevative: It leaves out the "r". Write "conservative". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • conscious: This is a different word with a different meaning, so it is wrong here.
Correct answer: fantastic

Explanation: Here you hear "we have fantastic food all around us". The sentence asks for a word meaning very good.

Meaning: "fantastic" means very good or excellent.

Wrong options:

  • fantasic: It leaves out the "t". The right spelling is "fantastic". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: ingredients

Explanation: The speaker says "used to eating these kinds of fresh ingredients". After "fresh" you need a word for things, more than one, so add s.

Meaning: "ingredients" means the things you cook with.

Wrong options:

  • ingredents: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "ingredients". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: wonderful

Explanation: You hear "you already have wonderful traditional cooking". The sentence wants a positive describing word and it ends in ful.

Meaning: "wonderful" means very good.

Correct answer: quality

Explanation: Listen for "made with good quality Ingredients". It comes after "good" and names how good something is.

Meaning: "quality" means how good something is.

Wrong options:

  • qulity: It leaves out the "a". Check the letters: "quality". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • quantity: This means amount, not how good something is, so it does not fit here.
