Well  it's  certainly  not  unethical.  I  mean  in  the    that    it  wouldn't  be    to    ask    someone    who    knew    the    candidate    for    an    honest    appraisal    of    them.    We    just    have    to    accept    that    this    is    a    public,    not    a    space,    whatever    the    people    running    such    sites    would    have    you    believe    about    your    and    privacy.    In    any    case,    I    think    it    teaches    people    a    good    lesson:    never    say    or    do    things    on    the    Internet    that    you'd    be    ashamed    of    others    or    knowing    about.

Correct answer: sense

Explanation: The speaker says "in the sense that". The phrase has "the" before it, so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "sense" means a particular meaning or way of looking at something.

Wrong options:

  • sence: It has "c" where the word has "s". The right spelling is "sense". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: unethical

Explanation: You hear "that it wouldn't be unethical to ask". You need a describing word that means wrong.

Meaning: "unethical" means not morally right.

Wrong options:

  • unethcial: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "unethical". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: private

Explanation: Listen for "a public, not a private space". The speaker used the opposite of public here.

Meaning: "private" means not open to the public, for limited people only.

Wrong options:

  • privte: It leaves out the "a". Write "private". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: security

Explanation: On the recording you hear "about your security and privacy". It comes after "your", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "security" means protection or safety.

Wrong options:

  • securtiy: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "security". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: hearing

Explanation: Listen again to "ashamed of others hearing or knowing". After "others" the sentence needs an action word that ends in ing.

Meaning: "hearing" means other people hear or learn about it.

Wrong options:

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